Injuries to this muscle group are the leading cause of shoulder pain for all age groups. They can occur as a result of repetitive activities such as throwing, raking, or washing cars, or they may be a result of direct trauma to the shoulder. The most typical symptom is a deep, aching shoulder pain that can sometimes radiate to a few inches below the shoulder. Pain is typically aggravated with activities requiring reaching overhead or behind the back. You may experience arm weakness and difficulty sleeping, especially on the involved side. You should seek medical care if your pain remains unchanged for more than a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Physical therapy can be effective for treating rotator cuff injuries instead of\/prior to surgical intervention. Your physical therapist will use manual therapy, modalities, and exercise to address your symptoms, stretch tight muscles, and strengthen weak muscles to reduce your pain and improve function. Through a customized program you will be educated on body mechanics and exercises to specifically address your impairments. You can expect to be seen on average 2-3x\/week for 1-2 months depending on the severity of your symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Physical therapy is required after surgical intervention to regain strength, range of motion and function of your arm and shoulder. Your physical therapist will follow a specific protocol as outlined by your doctor to ensure that you are achieving range of motion and strength while protecting the surgical repair. You can expect to be seen on average 2-3x\/week for at least 2 months to maximize function of your shoulder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wwspt-content-box\">\nFeel free to <strong>DOWNLOAD<\/strong> the PDF below to know more about Shoulder, Elbow and Rotator Cuff Injuries and Therapies:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"flip-container\" ontouchstart=\"this.classList.toggle('hover');\">\n<div class=\"flipper\">\n<div class=\"front\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/frozen-shoulder-jospt-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-598 size-medium\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ececec;\" title=\"Frozen Shoulder\" src=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/frozen-shoulder.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen Shoulder\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"back\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/frozen-shoulder-jospt-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-598 size-medium\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ececec;\" title=\"Frozen Shoulder\" src=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/download-hover.png\" alt=\"Frozen Shoulder\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"flip-container\" ontouchstart=\"this.classList.toggle('hover');\">\n<div class=\"flipper\">\n<div class=\"front\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jospt.2011Baseball-throwing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-192 size-medium\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ececec;\" title=\"Baseball Pitching - Throwing a Baseball May Help Protect the Shoulder and Elbow\" src=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/baseball-pitching.jpg\" alt=\"Baseball Pitching - Throwing a Baseball May Help Protect the Shoulder and Elbow\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"back\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/jospt.2011Baseball-throwing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-192 size-medium\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ececec;\" title=\"Baseball Pitching - Throwing a Baseball May Help Protect the Shoulder and Elbow\" src=\"http:\/\/wwspt.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/download-hover.png\" alt=\"Baseball Pitching - Throwing a Baseball May Help Protect the Shoulder and Elbow\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physical Therapy for Rotator Cuff Injuries The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and associated tendons that assist in rotation and elevation of the arm.
