![3 Keys to Rehab a Rotator Cuff Tear & AVOID Surgery [UNIQUE EXERCISES]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/o9fiTFfW4uU/mqdefault.jpg)
I had an MRI, which indicated a fully torn, supraspinatus muscle. Surgeon recommended eight weeks of physical therapy. It’s been two months now by God’s grace the excruciating unbearable pain has subsided about 50%. I have a greater strength and range of motion. I will continue God willing my physical therapy and Trust in a full recovery. I believe the higher power can work miracles.❤🙏🏻
I made the big mistake of consulting an orthopedic surgeon after a fall playing tennis. He said FULL tear RC, surgery required,80% success rate, 30 day in sling, no movement, rehab twice a week. Total outcome unknown???? I did NOT follow his prescribed course of action but did my own at-home therapy, rest, stretching, lots of reading, etc. Three months later played my first game of 'mild' tennis and have been playing since. I have very little discomfort, full range of motion and am regaining strength steadily. I don't know if this surgeon was just a TERRIBLE doctor or was phishing for some business to fill his pockets. At any rate, I thank God that I did not accept his opinion on how to fix this problem. "BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR"!
what was your procedure? or which exercises you did or use any supplement beside? thanks
@@gravitas3900 likewise, 2 torn tendons here supra and infraspinatus tendons..could not lift my arm, pain at nite for a year. cannot lift weights as before but therabands helped bring back strenghth. Made recent visit to surgeon and he took me off sx list
@@gravitas3900 Read, read, read. You have to thoroughly inform yourself what the options are. There is much information online and on youtube. I can't just give you a list of exercises or supplements that will be the solution for your situation. I know that I had to dedicate my time in every way possible to heal my shoulder. I see years later that more are recommending non-surgical solutions to the RC tear. Five months after my injury I was very gingerly back on the tennis court and now, several years later I have no issues at all. If I followed the surgeons diagnosis, I might not have ever recovered fully.
was phishing for business
Everything you show helps so much. I'm not consistent, but still improving with range of motion, and pain relief. Thank you for your teaching, and your lovely approach.
7:26 Stick hanging stretch
9:17 Wall Anchor hanging stretch
10:52 Traditional resistance band stretch (Scapula Retraction 11:16 , External Rotation 11:57)
If it is a complete tear, the tendons tear and shrink back away from each other like a rubberband snapping. they can't pull themselves back up together. the surgeon has to root around for the ends and pull them back together and somehow keep them together with staples , screws, stitches. I got screws. and stitches. the longer you wait the more they atrophy and pull farther apart. it is harder to ull them back together and much harder to rehab.
Only do these to the point of pain? So am I making g it worse when I force it, like doing chores or just reaching for something wrong?
1:09 Fart
Whenever I have some kind of physical affliction, I alway return to the most famous physical therapists on the Internet. Thanks btw, you guys are always there when I need you ✌️
Thank you! 4 yrs ago I found your videos and I've been pain free. You can fix it yourself. With the info you shared I was able to find a great therapist and that helped me communicate effectively with him since I had already started the exercises you've recommended. I went got the proper diagnosis after watching a video on how to tell if you had a rotator cuff tear. I had a partial tear, but for 20 yrs. many different therapies and a doctors who kept saying that it was my tendon they were to long and I needed surgery. So thank you for giving me the best give away of all... your knowledge. Truly appreciated.
Hi so did you need surgery or did you heal it naturally yourself? Thanks
My MRI showed severe tear in supraspinatus, moderate tear in infraspinatus as well as moderate tear in subscapularus from 40 years of intense overworked joints and tendons. Hanging has helped tremendously but also doing specific stretches and strengthening exercises for each muscle/tendon group. Coming along but I’m figuring a good year of consistent work on it. I also recommend infrared heating pad and irelieve Tens unit
Those who recommend hanging should be hung! It puts more stress on the bloody things. The way to go is the opposite, especially if you have nerve impingement! The pain from this is bloody horrible! nearly all the time, pain from shoulder right down the arm:/ You want your arms pulled DOWN, this is done by holding a weight bar at waist level with 50 odd pounds on it! Soon as i see a vid that talks about hanging ime out of there:/
what exercises did you di
Did you went through shoulder surgery
Is it expensive? Immune only hurts with heavy weights but I’m not sure when to go in😩
So did you get surgery?
These exercises have helped me greatly with easing the pain and increasing my range of motion. It feels great to wipe with my right hand again, too! Thanks guys!
I suppose you're wearing out your right hand on those porn sites again, too! lol!
Yes: was supposedly diagnosed wit R.C. tear but may have been just a severe case of bicep tendonapathy - anyway went from only able to bench press 5-10# with right arm back up to 60# over period of about six months - started consistently doing rotator cuff exercises and the miracle took place... Do them before and during every workout.. Will probably peak out at 75# each arm so I can bench 150# with different types of barbell configurations... Not to shabby for old gent over 70 yrs young... I give all the credit for my healing to JESUS - He the Great physician - NO surgery - just sensible rehab therapy and eating as much wholesome food as possible... Elastic bands of several different types have been an integral part of my success at re strengthening my shoulders... Slow and easy with focus helps almost every time...
Charles! Wonderful news, I’ve been in a low mood from re-injuring my shoulder and losing my progress in physical therapy. So your story gives me hope!
Jesus is Magik! 😂
Great advice! Thanks.
Glad bless. Here go I on the same journey.
Good story except the Jesus nonsense 😂 He didn’t do squat
I healed myself from RUclips videos I saw about 10 years ago. It wasn't these exercises but I trust these guys' work.
Love and appreciate you two so much. You have become my "go two" for all things physio (and enjoyable) these past few years. Watching you from the rainforest in tropical Australia while recovering from rotator cuff surgery.
Thanks, Guys. I do appreciate the follow up but it is important to clarify whether these folks have a less than athletic or not a heavy kind of work/sport life. The torn suprasinatus does not rejoin on its own. It is like a rubberband under tension, when it snaps it really pulls completely apart and cannot pull back to gether on its own, that is the job of surgery. That is impossible unless it is not a full tear. Once torn the ends pull apart. What they do is attach to the bone where they land and that may or may not be adequate depending on your life style. I can believe that many are pain free once the injury heals. By strengthening the deltoids you will protect this somewhat newly vulnerable supraspinatus. Strong deltoids will take some of the stress off the supraspinatus. Every situation is different and it depends on your lifestyle and what you want in the future. Also, having only one of the four tendons torn makes a difference. I believe you are a lot clearer in this second presentation. Also, if you have a full tear and you wait more than 8 weeks to make the decision for surgery, not only does the surgery become more involved, but so does rehab and end result. Because the tendons are like rubber bands, when they tear, if it is a full tear all at once, they snap apart, the longer unattended they atrophy even farther apart. If it is a slow tear by overuse, perhaps, it is attaching somewhere as the rest continues to tear over time, and did not snap apart. I don't know. If it is a quick tear, the farther apart they ends are, the more the surgeon has to root around to get the ends to pull them back together and the more painful it is to stretch them back to usefulness in rehab. So it is very important to recognize how did the injury occur over what period of time and stress the choices and the consequences. It is also important to have an MRI because there is no other way to tell whether it is one or all four tendons and to what degree the injury is. I just feel strongly about this and want to be sure injured persons have the full picture. If you really don't need surgery, you don't want it. It is a hard rehab, but you should be really sure you don't need it.
I am 63 yrs.old. I was diagnosed with Rt. Rotator cuff tear on MRI. I was having pre op work when my EKG was abnormal. Now I'm seeing a Cardiologist & having a Stress Test, Nuclear. My Shoulder is Very Painful. Lack ROM. I'm just waiting 2 B cleared 4 surgery. Glad 2 know your experience. BTW, I was a Medical Assistant 4 a Surgeon 12 yrs. & worked in Radiology @ hospital 8 yrs.
Thanks for the advice. I’ve tried hanging and it’s helping. I just have to be consistent with it.
I think you really deserve being the most famous ones on the internet. I had pain in my shoulder that would come and go for years. yesterday me waking up from sleep from pain, today after doing the hanging feeling way way way way better. Thanks a lot.
Thank you sooo much! I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.
The rotator cuff information is just what I was looking for..
I am a physical therapist and I just want to thank you guys for all that you do! I found you while trying to figure out what was wrong with MY OWN shoulder, and I have learned so much! I have taken taping classes, but would like to see how you guys tape for the subscapularis.
Hi, can you share how you tape for a supraspinatus partial tear?
Thank you for always posting such amazing content!!
Excellent. Thanks for the Citations.
This is great, thank you! I fell a couple of months back, I am going to start these , hope to avoid surgery.
This is great, just what I needed, thank you both . Listening to Brad and Bob in the background reminded me of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street.
I had three tears in my rotator cuff, went to PT, never had another problem after doing exercises.
How long did it take for you to get better after the tears?
@@londonengland7096 Went to PT twice a week for 6 weeks...then continued at home until pain free. Really did not take too long.
@@paulalim1476 glad to hear you are better
Give me more info I hurt my rotator cuff help with some information and suggestions
@@jeffrey.classicgamesjones2332 My orthopedic surgeon gave me the choice of surgery or PT. I tried PT and never looked back. Truthfully, most were done on a pilates machine. It did wonders.
13:05 Just so you all know this is what makes it very confusing for us. In this case, more is NOT better. Please consider this issue for us all that have a real commitment to healing 100% when possible. Note: we are a loyal and long-term customer of this channel.
Can confirm. Took about a year and a half to get full mobility, stability, and strength after a partial tear. I didn’t know about Brad and Bob, the two most famous physical therapists on the internet, while I was doing my rehab. Who knows? Might have been shorter.
You had no surgery? Have you done a follow up MRI after 1.5 years? Is it torn still and what you did just improved surrounding muscles, or it grew back?
it cannot grow back. All this guy has done has reprogram the brain and compensate using different recruitment patterns. @@godlikeexcellence1201
Guys, this info is encouraging! Only around 10% of injuries wind up needing surgical intervention. So, conservative care options really do work. Awesome, thanks!
Thank you, torn supraspinatus and infraspinatus these exercises work wonders.
Thanks for the informative video gentleman - I appreciate the information and professional advice
I was doing pushups with my push up handles and hurt the shoulder ,nice to hear takes time to heal ,if hurts to early you said. thanks for the tips guys I love you two.
First message I got from this is that it's going to take time...I knew that, but see it's going to take even more than I thought. Eleven months in, I seem to be healing better than you predict. Appreciate good anatomical view.
Wonderful insight thank you for posting and sharing!
I've had torn rotator cuffs for years - decades. Watching Bob hanging on the wall hangers/handles looked like OUCH to me. The ones with the stretch bands, the "traditional" exercises, I've been doing those for a few years, and I've got a larger repertoire that is making it at least not get worse with age from another video of yours.
Took me 7 months. First worked on range of motion. Then started light weights. The hanging really helped near the end of rehab. Now good range of motion. No pain. Working on increased weights.
Does it feel weird when u bring the weight behind you? I get foreward and to the side but I dont get backwards my buddy told me he never seen anyone doing it.
Did you heal your tear without surgery?
@@kenlewis6699 Yes. Moderate tear. Can still see scarring on MRI but fully usable now.
@@jerrywest7068 Wow! What type of tear and which tendon. I have a 3mmx6mm tear suprapinatus and wondering if it will heal on own.
How old are you?
Lots of thanks sir really great work for people
Thankyou bob and brad , your vedio helped me a lot once i fell down from my skate board, i was panicking initially , your vedio helped me a lot to make sure the my shoulder is fine
Dude it happened to me today ! Please help me I am freaking out, my shoulder feels weird, I feel my left arm is weak and a bit loose
Great stuff guys! Love the comedic nature that you guys inject into the videos. Another fun and safe strengthening exercise that I've found to be extremely useful for the shoulder is where you roll back and forth as your arm lays straight atop of a stability ball while on your knees.
Had RC injury two month ago. Now I'm doing RC exercises. These are my exercises
Shoulder stretch and pull
Arm Swings or Pendulum
Cable External and Internal Rotations
Partial Lateral Raise
Empty Can with thumbs up
Low/Mid Rows with Scapular Retraction
Pants On Raises
Incline Prone Partial Delt Fly or Modified Bent over row
Done for weeks now and I think I've improved. Back muscles and delts also grew significantly. And reintroducing chest exercises safely by using mostly triceps for benching and avoiding wide grips.
I am not a doctor by a long shot but I have had shoulder surgery and feel very strongly about delay, assumptions, and poor advice in rotator cuff injuries. Have all these people had a full MRI? At the end of the video you do mention the full tear needing surgery. But your intro makes it sound like all rotator cuff injuries can heal. It is impossible to know if it is a full tear without an MRI or which tendons of the four are involved, also whether the cartilage surrounding the cuff is damaged.. Also, tendons are under tension they spring apart when there is a full tear, just like a rubber band under tension.. If there is a full tear, therapy only delays everything. and is painful! Tendons do not come back together, so they must be attaching at a lower spot which will cause a reduction in range of motion and strength. If that is the case, it is setting up the bicep for injury because it is carrying more than its fair share of the work load over time. In sedentary folks and the older folks, maybe just allowing the injury to heal is fine, that is not fixing the injury. If there is an impingement, often it is due to arthritis and a thickening of that bone yielding a shrinking of that space. The bone must be shaved to increase the gap. How will exercise give you more room in there. Again, an MRI is necessary. Finally, if you prolong a needed surgery more than 8 weeks, you are closing the window to optimal success. Every week you wait, the tendon shrinks even further back and will be that much harder to reconnect. The greater the stretch to put it back together, and thus the greater the difficulty of getting it stretched back to a comfortable position while you rehab. I know that this surgery and rehab can be hard, I have done it. I can only believe that this advice is for the seniors you present to and that they do not have such an active life. Maybe it is okay if someone just sits at the computer, but if they are active, I question whether this is the choice for them. I can't believe the rotator cuff will ever be strong and secure again with a full range of motion without surgery by a good surgeon if there is a full tear at the supraspinatus or multiple tears of the four tendons. I have observed friends and others claiming to have a shoulder injury and they are diagnosed without an MRI. In my opinion that is irresponsible on the Dr.'s part. There is no real way to fully understand the extent of the injury without an MRI. So, it is good to avoid the surgery if you can but it is not good to assume that most everyone will benefit from exercise and therapy and delay is harmful. If you have a very painful injury, start with an MRI and then decide if therapy is the best choice. Too often it is the other way around, for me that was a bad experience.
So...what you're saying is you are NOT a doctor.
@@bens3767 I do have a Ph.D and I have had bot Rotator cuffs repaire for different reasons. One an accident where they kept putting it off until I insisted on an MRI and it showed a massive rear with cracked cartilage after 6 or more weeks of painful therapy and exercise which I did with persitence and trust. The second went better, due to advanced age and athleticism. It was impinged and ended up with a bad tear and the need to shav the bone. I feel I had lots of ounsel, lots of time to research, and my i]opinion isn't frivolous. so do what you want but the longer you wait, like my first injury, the more everything atrophies and the more difficult the surgery and the more pinful the rehab. Good luck to you!
Also, sometimes things reattach and you think it is good, but it is never as strong as a repair and you are making other muscles work overtime. My friend did not have money for a repair so he exercised and was careful and thought he was good. He went back to work and his Bicep tore loose. Now he has an even greater problem. Just sharing experiences because I thought it would help. I wish I had this advice with my first injury. As I said, Good luck to you.
I have had an injury five weeks ago and have been waiting for a consultation
I spoke to my former colleagues and they suggested going to.another consultant and got an appointment promptly. The second consultant says because it’s a soft tissue injury it needs to be seen promptly. I agree as I have injured both shoulders due to running and I’m late 60s.
Too bad your not a doctor by a longshot.
Thanks guys. I tore mine after finding an isometric device called the Bullworker. I used it as a kid and at age 62 decided to give it another try. I heard a squishing noise in my shoulder (no pain though) and thought that was odd. That was the beginning of my shoulder pain. I did your tests and 2 out of three indicate I tore my rotator cuff. I've been lifting light weights and the first set is always somewhat painful so I go slow. The second set is usually not bad but after watching this video ^ I'm going to slow down and try your method. Thanks a bunch, I hope this helps.
These good bits of info, so helpful. Pain is so frightening and discouraging... I will do anything to get better, the knife option is so finite.
You guys are AWESOME !
According to a John Hopkins meta study there is a sweet spot for rotator cuff surgery of 15-25 mm. Larger tears > 25 and especially those that are retracted tend to reopen or tear within 3-5 years (especially in athletic or 60+ years of age. Actually 1/3 in over 60 surgeries are not successful. I tore my R supraspinatus in 2018 …a 29 mm. I tore my L this past (2022) summer 28 mm supraspinatus and a partial infraspinatus. I was told in 2018 to have surgery. I didn’t have the surgery and recently rechecked…while it had increased to 31 mm I still have full range of motion and continue with my body building. So far the L which I was also advised to get surgery has maintained full range of motion. Yes at times both of them may hurt after a workout. Yet I have very strict form and usually more often then working out I will cause shoulder pain by doing household tasks or especially reaching behind for a seatbelt (turn at waist and use both hands as an unnatural position). It is true the longer one postpones the surgery the more difficult but that is generally bc to avoid pain people stop exercising and thus the surrounding muscles of the shoulder atrophy and fat fills up instead. If one has surgery the studies I have read show that only stem cell adjunct treatment results in better outcomes. IE forget bovine or porcine grafts as in addition to no positives they can complicate the body’s own healing.
Thank you, it helps my shoulder, very helpful 😀
Great video Bob and Brad! I'm a physical therapist from Jamaica and I love the way you guys present different exercises for common pathologies. I try to incorporate some of them into my patients' treatments.
You two are the greatest!
Great content guys!
Thanks so much guys!
You guys save my life
Retracting my shoulders as you mention, while hanging was a significant issue for me. I thought I was doing my hanging properly, yet my orthopedic surgeon pointed out to me that I was not retracting properly. It took a little bit of concentration, yet I was finally able to do it properly.
Great to see research references! Thank you.
Thank you Bob and Brad.
Another great video!
These guys crack me up. Very informative as I sit here with what is likely a slightly torn supraspinatus.
You'd better get an ultrasound done.
My too
Shoulder pain/ Injury should always be addressed first by stretching the tight muscles around the shoulder that can restrict its movement, I.e the Levator Scapula.
Strengthening first without stretching is ineffective. First assess then address.
Exercises begin at 6:46
Very helpful.
I’ve been diagnosed with this impingement / Subacromial bursitis / rotator cuff tear
I’ve been put forward for a steroid injection and physiotherapy so this is video is very interesting 😊
Great info !
Many thanks guys. I got my inferior shoulder dislocation last month due to accident in the project site . I did 'nt go for a surgery as my doctor says I can go for a therapy. But visiting the clinic is not practical for some reasons. By watching your blogs help me a lot. For almost 10 days of exercises as you told on the shows my shoulder is getting better and better..thank you for your help and god bless..I'm from the Philippines.
Great video. Love how you have a fun way to approach people. When I use the broom stick to stretch, where should I feel it?
unfortunately, doctors aren't allowed to give personalized advice to people without a live checkup. So it's literally illegal for him to answer you.
Truth sets people FREE...not confused and brainwash..God Bless..correct myself and sentence earlier..thank s sori
great stuff!
over ten years of this sort of PT hearing all the time it will heal, ten plus years of constant pain and I finally gave up and opted for surgery, I'm sure in a few cases these guys are correct but PLEASE consult a surgeon to see if there is any hope. A complete tear or even a 60% tear will not heal by PT alone period. Save yourself time and pain and see a surgeon and get your options before putting up with ten years on unnecessary pain like I did
dudes what the eff..... the intro is amazing! came here for advice on how to help my rc pain and instanly feel as if im in a good safe environment. awesome work. thank you.
Glad you liked it!! Brad
both of mine went, maybe not a shoulder cuff, took months to raise arms, just got on with it
due to age of rotator cuff damage, all surgeon could do was clean up spurs and arthritis in shoulders. pain had gotten so bad that i could barely raise arm enough to comb hair. PT exercises before AND after surgery really saved the day for me!!! i still do some of the exercises.
Dear Bob & Brad..It would be helpful guide if you can share video for similar pain & rehab on the tendons/muscles at the back side shoulder around Scapula
Exercises of IR + ER + Abduction clubbed with dead hanging for 10 seconds and more regularly helped in getting rid of pain and strengthening rotator cuff. Whereas my MRI report shows Thick tear in Supraspinatus rotator cuff but when Orthopedic surgeon clinically examined opined that don't go with MRI only I need physiotherapy and exercises
Awesome thanks guys 💪👈
Thank you God bless you both
Thank you both. I will start implementing these exercises.
I’ve been using the Dgyao red light device from Amazon for the last two days and it has really helped.
I have been suffering with my shoulders since 2019, had 7 injections, accupunture, 4 rounds of physio never got better. just had surgery 3 weeks ago and I can see that my movement will improve just the pain as it's healing is terrible.
Thankyou sir for this great knowledge
I m from india .if your speech mention in words on screen then it's so helpful for us understanding medical words.
Thankyou 🙏
You guys are the best
Your help has been great, and I am almost cured of the dreaded rotator cuff problem. One other thing that I find most helpful is my yoga esp the child’s pose. Look it up boys.
Hello Sir, how u cured your Rotater Cuff tear??
How?
It’s pulling the shoulder more forwards?
Bob and Brad. Would you cover stretches and exercises (preferably with resistance bands) for post reverse total shoulder surgery? I had that procedure done a couple years ago and would like to see what you recommend. Thank you.
thank you so much!! God Bless!
Great ... had injurey myself... medical student from Duisburg, Germay
Nice video, very good point made about these are small muscles requiring limited resistance.
Absolute gold. Thank you.
Thank you lads, very informative ✌🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸✌🏻
I healed my own tear a few years ago. I did a lot of research and took a suggestion of wearing a neck brace(soft collar kind) at least 18 hours a day - for 4-5 weeks. It worked great - I was very surprised- and happy - that it did.
How did you do that. Can u tell me?
If you give me your email address, I can talk to you.
May I know what kind of neck brace you used, please ? Tq
Thank you so much 😊
I have arthritis in both shoulders and both knees. Cuff tear in right shoulder. Several months ago I discovered a site that was talking about moringa. This is a small tree that is grown in India. They were talking about how it is beneficial for people with arthritis. I have been using it for the past several months. I take it orally in capsule form (leaf in powder form) two in the morning and another two at night. I no there is no cure for arthritis but ever since I have been using moringa. I have zero pain. Once you start using it. It takes about a month to feel the results. Amazing
When should you start doing the PT exercises? Or do you just do as much as you can as soon as possible without pain?
Struggling from 2injuries for more than 6months as per your Previous Videos Exercise to find exact pain
1)Tendinitis
2) RotatorCuff tear on back side
Help me what should i Do?
i love checking in with you guys on stuff myself from time to time as a PT. I think you are great educators. I wonder, would you not initially do the exercises without resistance? just the weight of the arm itself? thanks for all you put out for the public :)
Love these guys...
Good news. I have torn my rotator cuff (supraspiatus). Then had the misfortune to develop a frozen shoulder so forced rest to recover while I do physical therapy.
Hanging therapy is like a miracle, within 3 days I was able to sleep through the night, within 2 weeks no pain at all, the light stretching workout did nothing for me.. I'm glad I tried it, it sounded too good to be true
Awesome exercises,Iam starting slow to get these done little pain..Thanks.
Your welcome and I wish you continued progress. Brad
My rotator cuff has been bad for 6 months. There have been moments where I doubted it would heal but I’m definitely improving. For me the best exercise has been the chord on a pulley anchored in the top of the door frame. I watched a video where they said you need to hold a shrug on your bad shoulder as you raise the arm. Recommend anyone giving this a go.
Thanks Bob and Brad. I’m now at 90 percent after injury last July. Your Help was invaluable. Zero surgery
Us surfers know about tears all too well. I rehabbed myself (no surgery) 20+ years ago and unfortunately, I have to do it again now. I use the Total Gym. I can do those 2nd two on there and many others with a low resistance to start. Not the one with the bands yet. Too early. The big difference is now I'm 60 and not in my 30s.
I'm 72 and tore my supraspinatus and consequently developed bursitis, via gym work. Wear and tear really. Tried all the remedial exercises, but ended up with a cortisone injection which fixed the problem for a few months. But the bursitis has come back again. Not as bad, but still a nuisance. Back on the recommended exercises again. 😟
@@johntait491 Unfortunately those shots don't last long enough. Now both of my shoulders are pretty much shot. Bursitis could be the issue.
Good luck with yours 🤙
@@lavapix Keep on keeping on..!! It's only pain and discomfort..!! 😁
Is the top of your humerus pulled forwards at the top?
@@rachkate76 No, I've got a damaged Bursa sac.
I have been going to a orthopedic doctor and physical therapist. Just git an M.R.I. Doctor will be reading this and we will see if there is a tear. Thanks for the information.
I tore mine pretty good 5 months ago and I'm T2B so I think it's taking mine longer to heal. I was told by my doctor to go get an MRI to see how bad it was but instead I decide to see if exercise, loads of B vitamins and ibuprofen would start the healing process. I've ripped a rotator cuff before, along with tendons in my forearm but I was much younger then, so I knew what was in store ... a long wait. I started out with isometrics and graduated to very light weights and my arm went from about 5% to about 90%. I now have decent strength in the shoulder, I still feel a little of that impingement from the tendons but that's gotten a lot better, too. I just have to be careful now and not lift anything too fast. I'm almost there!
How are you doing now? I have rotator cuff injury it seems and it hurts even when lifting light .
@@dingdong6005 Still about the same. I'm trying something different to ease the impingement. I bought a pull up bar and just hanging from it stretches the tendon gives some relief. I still can't lift much either. It's too soon for that.
@@saxon1177 thanks .. hope you recover soon.
@@dingdong6005 thank you, i appreciate it. I hope you do well yourself, take it slow, don't overdo anything.
tore mine 5yrs. ago it's finally feeling better due too doing body weight exercises at home mosty push ups and cable ex. high reps
Did you go to surgery?
In an older house with very sturdy door frames, you can hang from the door frame.
i installed a grab bar in shower at normal height, and a matching one so high that i have to really reach to get hold of it. i will be walking thru the house and just step into the shower to stretch, then continue on my way (usually out to the garden). works great for shoulder and back stretches. i also have a rope over the top bar to use like a pulley for shoulders. my grands call the shower my exercise room!!!
I went to the comment section for help before the video could start. I'm twisted😂
Good morning. Can I get some exercise for infringement please. Thanks
