It's sooooo good when you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel hey? SLAP tear doesn't mean the end of working out the way you want to. For me, it was a new beginning!

💯 agree 👍

I've heard they can be good, I'd get them if I had access to Peptides in Australia. Whatever you choose to do, a rehab program is essential. If you want to follow the programs that worked so well for me and many others around the world, join the UMS once coaching here unitygym.com I'll write your programs, and you get 1:1 coaching all for $1.75/day

I'm so sorry to hear that, and I can relate so much. 14 months after my first SLAP tear I suffered another one, on my other shoulder. Man it was hard. The good news is that the process I followed works for 90% of shoukder injuries. I'm fortunate to have 3 friends who are world class sports physios and who were working at my gym at the time. So I was training with them daily which gave me unparalled insight into shoulder rehab. I highly recommend joining the UMS Tribe Membership for a free trial. It's cost effective and you will work with me and get customised programs. Check it out unitygym.com/ums

Rehab alone will help And you may need surgery I think the answer to your question is within this episode. Listen to what we discuss, then decide which route to go 😃

I'm sorry to hear that John. You can I prove your situation with the right rehab.

You absolutely should follow a strength and flexibility program to regain full function. Sport that doesn't aggravate it is OK, but be careful. Yes, surgeons make money from surgery. So they advise it as first course of action. It's terrible advice. Try the shoukder rehab program in the ums tribe membership. You can start a free trial, I'll create a custom program for you, see how you go. unitygym.com/ums

@@UnityGymOnline do we always opt for PT before regardless of the type of tear or just for type 1 and 2

@@TheOsama8 You've raised an important consideration regarding SLAP tears and the approach to treatment. It's vital to remember that surgery is a significant and irreversible step. In many cases, surgical intervention can actually exacerbate symptoms rather than alleviate them. With this in mind, physical therapy (PT) and strength training, particularly those following a progressive approach, should always be the first line of treatment, regardless of the type of tear. This approach is essential because it works towards not just alleviating symptoms but also strengthening the area to prevent future issues. Surgery should only be considered as a last resort, particularly if you've thoroughly attempted and found strength training to be ineffective. As long as you are capable of performing the necessary exercises for recovery, it's advisable to pursue that route. Only in situations where conservative treatment methods have been thoroughly exhausted without success should surgery be considered.

@@UnityGymOnline also, I was thinking, since PT will help strengthen the surrounding muscles, even if we eventually go for surgery after let's say 6 months of rehab exercises, the surrounding muscles will be strong enough to help us with the rehab after surgery as compared to going for surgery straight away and then starting from scratch to strengthen the surrounding muscles that are weak and gotten even weaker since we had to immobilise our shoulder

also can I play sport that doesn't hurt my shoulder? like soccer, running or golf (I can swing without hurting my shoulder)
