How Do You Fix A Rotator Cuff Tear? [2 of 4] WATCH THIS

To fix a rotator cuff tear we need to strengthen the muscles. People think they need rotator cuff stretches but that is incorrect.

Stretching a torn muscle will aggravate the tear and prevent it repairing.

If you have a rotator cuff injury or just want to fix shoulder pain this is for you. This is the basic strategy that can be applied to most rotator cuff tears. The subscapularis is a little different as it is an internal rotator.

But usually it's the infraspinatus, teres minor or the supraspinatus that is torn. All of these muscles are external rotators and this strategy works well to rehabilitate the shoulder injury and fix your shoulder pain.

Man I been stretching my shoulder all this time..thanx for the info

[DATRIPLECEE]

Thought i couldn't go back to my "road to being ripped" after the but this showed me that I'll be back in track... THANK YOU 😊 🙏

[dubtown]

Thanks for your advice, I tore my rotator cuff back in June, up until yesterday It felt better but I tweaked it yesterday at work, gonna start doing band exercises to start strengthening the torn muscles. Thank you.

[georgelopez]

People like you are just so awesome I train in boxing, so this is going to help

[randomizerj]

Here yet again, immediately came to your channel because your advice got me though a bad case of tendinopathy that I developed in my right pec! here’s to another recovery

[tommyaudio]

holy shit, impressive video! haha didn't think i could learn so much in so little time. thank u!

[ElronHumpperdink]

Thank you. Momma and Deddy both had issues with theirs in the past, now I’m dealing with it and WANT TO KEEP WORKING but don’t wanna get hurt.

This is just what I needed. You’re healing it without “sitting out for weeks.” Cause the stretching DID HURT just as bad even after it felt better a day later from rest. That saved me from making it worse.

Gonna try these.

[TheOfficialLuke]

How long after initial tear should we rest before beginning rehab activities?

[leomessi]

Sir, i have supraspinatus tendon thinning. What exercises should i do to thicken my tendon? Is it safe to do pushups?

[JasmineReindhart]

Hey man, I dislocated my shoulder about a year ago and I recently dislocated it again about a week ago. Should I be able to do these exercises now, or should I try bands first, or should I just heal for a little longer?

[RadicalPogo]

Ive been dealing wuth a shouder problem since December and it has only gotten worse. I think it is because i stretch the muscle and i try to use it like nothing is wrong. I'm going to just rest it and follow this. Question, should i stop doing these exercises if i feel pain while doing them?

[RamhemanthSriram]

After taking the MRI scan Doctors said that there is no damage in my shoulder but I'm feeling pain when I rotates it.Can you help me with that?

[mryogi]

Is this possible to heal partial tear with exercise and what time it takes

[samjarea]

[nithyashanmugasundaram]

[chaimbochner]

Do I need more to join your flexibility program?

[joshsmart]

Hey man, I’ve been dealing with this rotator cuff for the last six months. I’m able to do all those movements practically fine I’m trying to figure out if I should just start strengthening it more like should I just start doing more chest press and up in the way, I don’t know if my shoulders weak, but I can do all those movements perfectly fine with a good range of motion, but I still have pain.

[chaosevolution]

Pulled my right cuff. Was thinking external rotation rehab. Sitting down and everyday motions already internally rotate the shoulders.

[carpenter]

I can hardly use my shoulder do you still recommend this

[kodyfroehlich]

Hey man how long would you estimate a recovery to take?
