Partial Tendon Tear in Rotator Cuff
(4 discussions)
I’ve just been diagnosed with a partially torn tendon in my RC.
They want to start with physical therapy but I’ve already performed some of the rehabilitative exercises and have been continuing this for the last 6-7 months.
How will physical therapy help me? Thank you,

Hi Jennifer, physical therapy will help stengthen all your rotater cuff tendons and muscles. I broke my shoulder 10 yrs ago, and therapy helped alot. i’ve got a similar problem, they told me I had tendonitis. that was six mths ago, and i’m still in pain. What symptoms did you have after you injured your shoulder?

I had limited range of motion. Basically I can’t throw anything over my shoulder or even throw a bag of trash away. I’ve gotten weaker–I have a hard time putting a fitted sheet on my mattress.

Thank’s jennifer, it’s been 7 months now, and i’m just starting to be able to throw a baseball again. almost pain free. We’ll see after this weekend, I wish you well, pat.
