Rotator cuff injuries are common in sports requiring overhead activities. The tear of the rotator cuff can be both painful and functionally limiting. The exercise management of rotator cuff tears is based in 3 keys that include:
1) Strengthen the rotator cuff muscles.
2) Avoid overhead activities and increase the subacromial space.
3) Strengthen the periscapular musculature.
These 3 keys form the foundation of a safe and effective post rehab program for the rotator cuff tear client. These keys will optimize the possibilities of a positive functional outcome. Click the link below to listen to the discussion of these 3 keys.
