FAQs
What causes a rotator cuff tear?
A rotator cuff tear often results from repetitive overhead motions, lifting heavy objects, or sudden trauma like a fall. Aging and wear-and-tear can also weaken the tendons, making them more prone to injury.
Can physical therapy heal a rotator cuff tear without surgery?
Many partial tears respond well to physical therapy, which focuses on strengthening surrounding muscles, improving flexibility, and reducing pain. However, complete tears or severe cases may require surgical intervention.
How long does recovery take with physical therapy?
Recovery times vary depending on the tear’s severity and your overall health. Typically, physical therapy can take several weeks to a few months, with gradual improvements in strength and mobility throughout.
Will I regain full shoulder function after a rotator cuff tear?
Most patients regain significant function and reduce pain with proper rehab. While some severe tears might limit full range of motion, therapy aims to maximize your shoulder’s potential and improve quality of life.
