3 Keys to Rehab a Rotator Cuff Tear & AVOID Surgery [UNIQUE EXERCISES]

[@thefifapackkid8666]

I've had shoulder pain/rotator cuff pain for the past year and couldn't get it to get any better. I went to PT for 4 months and the pain minimized just a little. I went back to Ortho and they wanted to do surgery. I wasn't too happy to go that route. I jumped on KZbin found this video and have been doing these exercises for the past 3 weeks. I have to say these exercises work and my shoulder/rotator cuff has not felt this great in over a year. I was skeptical, but didn't want to have surgery so I tried it. 3X's a day for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with results. Thank you so much!

In hindsight, I vaguely remember our high school gym teacher putting us through a lot of the movements described here. It was, however wasted on youth. Most of us just wanted to work out with weights and get a bodybuilder look instead of concentrating on the health aspects of exercise. I did become a bodybuilder type and now I am suffering the results of too much emphasis on size and strength as opposed to range of motion and injury prevention. If only youth was not wasted on the young. There is no substitute for the wealth of wisdom that comes with age and experience.

Thank you Coach E and Dr B, as a 63 yo retiree, I am still playing tennis 3-4x a week and riding/racing/coaching MTB bikes and off road motorcycles. I have a lifetime of overhead sports (baseball pitcher and tennis), but my rotator cuff has been bomber up until 3 weeks ago when I cartwheeled my dirtbike. Acute pain immediately, and difficulty/some pain when lifting my arm. Two days ago visited an Ortho clinic, prelim diagnosis was tear in supraspinatus, had a immediate orthorpeadic ultrasound with a confirmation of a 1/2cm partial tear in supraspinatus tendon of the rotator cuff. My tennis teaching professional suggested reviewing Coach E's youtube videos and I found and watched this one. I am doing home PT with the hope of being back to normal in 6-8 weeks with no surgery. Thank you again for the excellent video. I plan to continue to do easy MTB/road bike rides (no crashing allowed) and am working at developing the capability to play tennis with my non-dominate arm in the short run to scratch my itch of playing tennis during my two months of rehabbing the dominate arm. Cheers and Thank you. I am hoping for no surgery and no further crashing in the short term!

It's time to take this recovery into my own hands since there is no medical care available in Seattle any more. Every person for themselves! Thank you for the video.

Awesome video Coach E and Dr.B! I love that you always have unique exercises. I particularly loved the Shoulder Saver (extending the shoulder but going the opposite way with the scapula tilt to actively reduce anterior scap tilt--brilliant!). Not enough people talk about Serratus Anterior exercises to correct Anterior Scapula Tilt on KZbin. The Serratus Anterior (& Lower Trapezius working in conjunction to upwardly rotate the scapula & open up space in the shoulder) is the key to strong shoulders.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!!!! Wonderful information!!!! As brutally painful as shoulder surgery is, I’m so happy to hear I will only need shoulder surgery if I have a total, full thickness tear showing on the MRI!!!! I’m an Above Knee Amputee and I was coming into the house on my forearm crutches, from taking the dog outside last February, 2022. My left leg is the one missing and my left crutch was wet from the snow and it slid quickly out to the side and down I went in a huge crash!!!! My upper body fell onto my left elbow, which severely jacked my shoulder up and I believe it caused the upper rotator cuff tendon to tear!!!! My VA doctor recommended an MRI and I am finally getting an MRI on both shoulders now since I have since damaged the right shoulder now as I have favored the left so much!!! My right Rotator Cuff was reconstructed in October 2019. This is why I know how brutally painful the surgery is!!! I would be super happy to be able to avoid surgery, but my body is telling me I will probably need the operation, as it is extremely painful to reach out to the left side to turn the bedroom lamp off or on. Anything straight out from my side in a raising motion is excruciatingly painful!!!! I have an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. I have my two shoulder MRI’s the day after tomorrow on January 10th, 2023. My VA Primary Care Provider has injected both shoulders about a month ago. I’m anxious to learn whether I have a complete, full tear vs. a partial tear, which can possibly avoid an operation!!!!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed until I get the resulting information from the two MRI’s the day after tomorrow!!!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information!!!!!!

Thank you very much! I've had a misaligned shoulder for 20 years now, since I had injured it doing professional tennis at the time. I did all the adviced exercises daily for many years, but I think the misalignment only got worse. Since I have stopped doing intensive sports and stressing the shoulder since about 10 years, slowly the joint has become better. The past 2 years I started doing similar isometric exercises Dr. B showed in the video and that has made things get a lot better. I have better alignment in the neutral positions now but still problems when raising the arm over shoulder hight. I am going to try the exercises you showed, especially interested in the loosening of the back part of the capsula because I think that could be a main cause.

I recently completed 6 months of Physical Therapy for what my MRI found was a “partial tear of the Glenoid Labrum.” I had fallen on my shoulder in November, while running. My Physical Therapy was consistent and my recovery has been slow and steady. As a competitive runner who had always enjoyed body-weight exercises and strength training with dumbbells, I was unable to do many of the exercises due to my shoulder injury and felt I never would, having lost most of my upper body strength. That changed when I started following Eric and his Precision Training videos where I learned everything about ‘The Shoulder and Rotator Cuff injuries, and HOW to REHAB and STRENGTHEN the SHOULDER!! I mean ALL of Eric’s videos ( with Dr. Boynton, too.) I am happy to say my shoulder is getting stronger!

Thank you so much for sharing all this information! 😊 I have a diagnosed partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus (from an acute injury that happened earlier this year) as well as impingement and tendinosis. I can do the cuff isometrics (and theraband exercises recommended by the PT I saw a few months ago), the standing robot reach and side lying external rotation (with light weight) with no problem/pain. However, when I do the 4S shoulder saver exercise - OUCH! It makes my impingement pain flare right up. I’m not sure why, especially since I’m careful to follow the instructions in the video, but I feel like since it’s painful to do it’s probably causing more damage. (Maybe I think I'm doing it correctly and I'm not?) Is it possible to rehab a strained rotator cuff without doing 4S (and the shoulder circle crossovers)? Thank you so much!

Enjoyed your video. 76 yr male, rot cuff surgery 25 yrs ago, healed well, excellent PT. I'm sure I have impingement but I'm able to lift my arm in various movements over my head without pain with a little clinking going on. I can no longer throw a ball over 25 yards without feeling my shoulder will blow out. I'm sure I need to strengthen the muscles that, at the very least, enable a successful toss. I would like to play solid catch with my 8 & 10 grandsons. Is this a realistic goal?

Got really bad shoulder pain in both shoulders for over half a year now. Going to try these exercises I pray it works

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

This doctor is GENIUS. I GOT HOPE NOW, thank you.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome!

[@SaanichtonMinistries]

Thanks for the this video. To see a PT working along side a doctor must be the best video I have seen thus far. I am in the business of Spiritual vitality, but physical vitality is important too especially given I had a dislocated shoulder not long ago and want to rehabilitate it without surgery ideally. May God healing power be with us.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

We are a great team :)

[@SaanichtonMinistries]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach I have recommended you to others with joint issues. Thank God for you because no doctor has time to help me especially in BC. I have no family doctor, and there has been no consensus with what to do with with PT as well.

[@Hewonth]

Thank you so much! I search exercises for rotator cuff exercises and it lead to your video. I had a tendonitis in my 20’s, 2 decades later it came back after I’ve been attending group classes and can’t help with repeated movement. I will definitely do all the exercises. 08/12/23

You're so welcome!

[@Terry-dc6cy]

During my 30 years as a Bering Sea fisherman, I never experienced shoulder or bicep pain. However, when I started working at a fast-paced bakery, I began to feel shoulder and bicep pain. My job involved stacking bread pallets onto a rolling dolly at a very fast pace, with the pallets reaching about 3 feet over my head. The pressure to stack the pallets quickly to avoid the bread ending up on the floor made me feel uneasy. Despite being used to enduring pain as a fisherman, I soon realized that I had arthritis in my shoulder joint. Additionally, I suffered a full tear in my rotator cuff tendon after falling while pushing my grandsons in a wheelbarrow. Although I don't attribute the pain to a single incident, I believe that lifting the bread pallets beyond my reach contributed to my need for treatment.

I just wanted to say that this video helped me sooo much. A week ago the pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep. I feel so much better! I was told I needed surgery but I think overtime I will be in better condition. This is not for the weak, it hurts😮😂 But for me it hurt so good. I needed this big time because these exercises were extremely beneficial. Thank you 🙏🏾

Que clase de video 😊😊😊 The most informative video I have seen on the web in a long time Congratulations to you guys for putting together it

Thanks so much :)

[@henrycalhoun5809]

A very informative and reassuring video to help one rehab his shoulder without surgery.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

:)

[@benfazio3233]

I am an exercise physiologist and found your discussion on shoulder pain to be correct and well explained with good rehab suggestions. Thankyou.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Really appreciate that!

[@TheMiafit]

Incredible! I wish I’d come across this video earlier - 2 days of trying the exercises, already feeling the difference! Full grade, full thickness and full width rotator cuff tear, in a lot pain for over a month, and for the first time I feel like I am ready to play tennis again! Thank you so much! Mia

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome and we are happy that you found it :)

[@bradadams1929]

Hello Mia, my name is Brad and I just had an mri that shows I have a complete tear of the rotator cuff supraspinatus tendon. With what you went through do you think I can rehab this to a point that I wouldn't need major rotator surgery? I really value the opinions of people who have been through this type of injury before. I've played a lot of golf and I want to do anything possible to not have to have surgery if I can help it. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS. Best, Brad

[@silvernissi]

@@bradadams1929 Hi there what treatment have you done for you’re shoulder?

[@dougreeder5486]

I recently tore mine but I had torn it years ago. By the time I went through the process of various prescriptions and the injection they finally put me in the mri. That's when it got verified. The Dr was explaining the surgical process and time to heal, well by that point it really wasn't giving me issues like it had been so I opted not have surgery.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for sharing your story! We know these exercises can help you to regain full function. Try them out 2 - 3 times weekly for 4 weeks and let us know how it goes :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@Capo51]

Thank U both so much on yr adice and tips. I have had this problem over 25 yrs, due to injuries in doing sports. Testing ur tips helped immediately relieve some of the ever present pain. ✌️

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Awesome!

[@pepeltr91]

Thanks for another great video. Doc and Eric are 2 of my favorite PT gurus!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for watching!

[@victormorales3144]

Well presented, very informative and very assertive demonstrations. Thank you both for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Do not stop helping the needed ones. I hurt my right shoulder probably after removing and lifting a toilet to fix the seal. Not the best decision at my 73 years old. Thanks again from Florida

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

[@tanchenghuat2056]

I love the way you explain shoulder pain vey I practical. I hope the education system will put in some of the exercise in the PE.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wow, thanks!

[@angelicaaddo559]

Not even 6min in and I got the answer to my hypothesis I was having since months! As a freshly graduated physio, I was wondering if exercise couldn't improve partial tear to avoid surgery. I'm relieved to know

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Happy you came to that conclusion :)

[@sachindarnay3637]

Thank you so much to both for explaining about rotator cuff exercises. Now it will be very easy to recover for many of us from this issue.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

You are welcome :)

[@powell4661]

After a horrific accident, i thought i had whiplash because of pain in my neck, and i was stuck with my tilting to the right. The physical therapist identified my problem as rotator cuff damage and nerve damage in my mid back. 2 therapists worked on my shoulder for 2 hours and then I could my head up straight and regained some mobility in my neck. Now I go therapy twice a week.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wow! We are so happy that you are doing better now. Did you try out the exercises? - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@johngentile9092]

Thank you for this video. Its probably the best video on the rotatorcuff.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wow...we really appreciate that!

[@bhut1571]

I broke my superspinatus tendon at the insertion point some 25 years ago. It was reattached and has served me well. However, now my other shoulder is giving me grief and it seems like the same old thing except I am still able to raise the arm somewhat. Of course MRI in Northern Ontario or medical care is slim pickings so your regime seems like a wonderful alternative for this geezer. Much Thank for your advice. Cheers.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Happy to help!

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

Thanks for the info. I have been battling left shoulder pain for about 3 years now. It’s getting to the point where it interrupts my sleep and leaves me exhausted. Now my right shoulder lis starting to hurt. I work full time as an ED nurse and I also babysit my grandkids. No time for surgery. I’m going to try these exercises that I have watched in this video. Hoping they work.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Thanks for trying them out and keep us posted on your progress :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@khoulton]

I don't usually comment but I REALLY APPRECIATE the advice from 2 professionals, especially a surgeon recommending doing self-care before running to surgery. I am trying some of the exercises and feel a sense of relief. I don;t know if I have a tear, but it's been years of on/off ache and pain and a little more recently than usual due to overuse as I was correcting a tennis elbow on the other arm. One question if you get this: Should I avoid planks (partial or full as well as swimming free style completely?). I have been swimming for 6-7 years now and felt that it was generally OK and pain would not persist but have taken a break for 3 months and would love to get back to it). Thanks.

[@artwithmycoffee]

Excellent information. Thank you for sharing this, it seems very thorough. I had surgery in 2017 on one shoulder and it has been an up and down journey since then. I’m hoping to be more consistently pain free by implementing these exercises. I’ve been able to learn a lot and keep pain and motion pretty well under control, but I’m hoping these might help more.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

These exercises will definitely help :)

[@artwithmycoffee]

@@PrecisionMovementCoach these are already helping quite a bit…especially when I combine the exercises with using the ball on my pecs and lats. (they have been really fired up, I guess) And it sounds like there is hope to regain strength without constant re-aggravation . That seems to be something that I have had constant trouble with. As I begin to strengthen, I end up causing pain again. I’m feeling more hopeful, with the knowledge you have shared. These are answers that I have tried to get from my therapist over the years, but somehow, have not been able to find them. I’m not willing to give up doing the things I enjoy just yet, so thank you again!

[@ivanmytube]

Many years ago, I had alternate shoulder pain, left on odd years and right should on even years. I was diagnosed minor tears on both supreaspinatus and received physiotherapy. A year later, the pain became severe and finally MRI revealed 90% full thickness tear and immediate surgery was needed on the rotator cuff and biceps. It took two years for the right shoulder to recover. I dare not to do physiotherapy on my left shoulder till now.
