For a rotator cuff tear that a surgeon has recommended surgery, it may take 6 to 8 weeks with a moderate tear and 3 to 6 months for a severe tear, assuming the right shoulder treatment is done and the root problem is corrected.
It's a process to heal a rotator cuff tear. There is no single exercise or treatment that will make it heal. Instead, it's a series of treatments and exercises done at certain times to progressively heal a rotator cuff tear without surgery.
But rotator cuff tendons can heal naturally without surgery once they're taken through the right treatment approach. And it doesn't take as long as many people think it does.
In this video, Dr. David answers the question, "How long does a rotator cuff tear need to heal without surgery?"

I was recently told I had an extensive rotator cuff tear. I hurt myself benching exactly a year ago. After not being able to find healing after so long, I went to see what was wrong. PT failed me and so they sent me for an MRI. I immediately wanted to hear your input about this with your expertise. I have my orthopedic appointment Monday. Cheers!

@Danny71891 9 дней назад

How is that going? Extensive tear sounds awful. What do you think it was about your PT that failed to work out your problem?

@prblakeslee 3 месяца назад

15 months total for me. 1 month sling w/limited ROM cable exercises. 2 months light rubber and ROM rehab. 3 months progressive rubber resistance and stretching. 2 months rubber resistance and 3/5 lbs weights stretching. 3 months return to pre-injury weight lifting starting with no weight working up tp 25% pre-injury weight. 3 months continue weight training worked up to 75 % of weight. 15 months im at 90% of pre-injury weight training. Adjusted form and routine to focus on strengthening rotator cuff and improve shoulder stability.

@meerabakshi2676 3 месяца назад

Hello, reasoning you mentioned about rotator cuff tear , healing but coming back the pain, sound so very exact. I had the tendon tear caused by lifting heavy computer/printer/fax machine and such heavy objects that are brought to the sales floor and what ever does not fit on the sales floor has to be kept on the top shelves climbing the movable stairs. I was a computer technician at a big chain store in the USA. I had only to work on repairs of the computers in the tech-shop of that business shop. But when I had to move to a small town (due to family reasons) I ended up in an Office supply chain store. And this store's policy was different and all were to do any work assigned to the employee on the schedule. Well I requested that I am not used to do such heavy lifting job, the management did not cooperate. I was on and off with medical appointments, Leave from the job for a few days, Physical therapy and again pain would start as continuing the same type of work, I did not get relief. I was suggested the surgery at the near by big city. But the doctor over there was so rude and no bedside manners that I told my PCP I do not want to go to that doctor. Well my PCP recommended a local orthopedic doctor. After examining me he said this is not a case of surgery. You have developed a frozen shoulder and I will perform noninvasive MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia). In this process, the patient's hurting arm is rotated 360 degrees breaking loose all jammed tissues , no cut, no surgery. After that procedure one has to let it heal nicely with light physical therapy. And I am cured forever from that shoulder problem. Thanks Doc, I am happy you are giving correct analysis of the shoulder problem.

@jacquelinedonoghue2135 8 месяцев назад

I have two full tears and a partial tear all on the right side due to an adverse effect from a cortisone injection….it weaken the tendon and after a sudden move I was left with all this damage. Surgery was strongly recommended but I’m anti surgery…due to personal reasons….so I went to physio for about 6 months ….by Skype during lockdown….and after 3 years it’s greatly improved, but still aches during some movements. When I lift my shoulder you can see it rises more than the other side. I’ve come to terms that this is about as good as it gets…trouble is left side starting to hurt now and got a feeling this is rotator cuff problem too. Love your channel. Thanks for your good advice.

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 8 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about the adverse effects of the injection causing rotator cuff tears Jacqueline :-( That is, unfortunately, a common problem. We have a lot of great content to help with this if you would like to learn more. Here is a link to our rotator cuff tear playlist: "Rotator Cuff Tear Help" ru-vid.com/group/PLJVIPiFvv1mbQ_-1YFfEePnrcxfwwf9_k We have also recently released a rotator cuff tear recovery program. The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program is a comprehensive program designed to get your shoulder pain under control to allow the rotator cuff tendons to heal. Then it guides you to correct the underlying root muscle imbalances so that you can fix the source of the problem (rather than just treat the symptoms) and get long-term relief from shoulder pain. This program works even if you've had rotator cuff surgery in the past but continue to have rotator cuff problems.

I have great shoulder mobility… but throwing a ball is acutely painful… also some ackward reaching motion hurts… like when I’m bent over and hyperextending my arm outward over my head…do these sound like rotator cuff injury symptoms?? Thanks!

@AbdulRahim-iv7zf 22 дня назад

Please please Bro have MRI and fix appointment for Orthopedic surgeon and do inform me about this too

@Danny71891 9 дней назад

How can I know what it is exactly I have? Don’t think it’s a tear as it’s not excruciating pain when I lift my left arm up, for example, doing a pull up. That actually doesn’t hurt at all. Where my shoulder pain comes is when I have my arm stretched out parallel to the ground. That still doesn’t hurt at that point, but when I feel a pinch/pain is when I rotate that whole arm forward like pouring water from a pitcher. When it’s in neutral again I feel no pain again. When I rotate backwards the opposite direction I feel a similar pinch right at the top and center of the left shoulder.

Sir, I need help immediately. My right knee swells up once a month now. I’m not sure if it is wear and tear from working out and exercising or gout. Is there anything you could recommend. I live in Philadelphia. I’m 50 years old and I’m afraid I’ll have to live with this knee issue the rest of my life.

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 8 месяцев назад

Hey William! We have some great content for swelling knees! Getting the swelling down is the first thing to tackle, once thee swelling goes down, then it would be a good idea to treat it like arthritis of the knee.

rotator cuff tears never heal. Not possible. They can be managed, but never heal

@PeteKona 8 месяцев назад

💯 thanks Doc. I think during the healing process being patient is the most difficult, especially if you were really active before. Which is me. I'm on month 8 of healing and I just want to be able to do what I did before (weightlifting). I can't do it with the same intensity or volume, or exercises so I've gotten creative. Do ones that don't aggravate it (I let pain be my guide), go light, reduce volume, give myself plenty of time for rest and healing. So far so good. Watching your videos definitely helped me assess my issue, and your rehab exercises are fantastic too. Thanks again!

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 8 месяцев назад

Hey Pete! It can definitely be tough to be patient while rehabilitating a torn rotator cuff. It will pay off in the end when you can get back to doing some of the more complicated tasks that you are not currently able to perform comfortably!

This is definitely me. I have a pretty physical life. My daughter is special needs and I try to get in the gym as much as possible. It’s nearly impossible for me to give my body the care it really need for a long period of time with my daughter. And, I’m used to just doing everything I have to do. But I know I have to change things or it’s not gonna get better.😢

@PeteKona 5 месяцев назад

@@michellebowling1979 exactly. I too am really physical for work (mechanic), and then lift weights 6 days a week. I want giving myself the adequate time I needed to recover. Well, eventually I had no choice but to rest and recover. Now that my shoulder is mostly better, I've switched up to lifting only every 3rd day, and I swear, I'm getting better results now. I've noticed more muscle growth and strength increases.

@johnnyteach8670 4 месяца назад

I'm starting physical therapy for an 8mm tear in my left rotator cuff I also have a tear in my right or at least Im pretty sure I do still awaiting an mri on the right. Does your program teach something more than what I'll be doing in physical therapy? I just got an injection in my left cuff it has helped tremendously but now physical therapy begins so Im wondering is it worth it to do physical therapy or should I just follow your program and do it myself from home? Also I have access to a fully equipped gym should I do exercises there as well. I know thats a lot of questions sorry for that hoping you can help.
