Brutally Honest Advice to Heal Rotator Cuff Tear & Avoid Surgery

Описание: Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program: https://www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.c...

In this video, Dr. David gives some brutally honest advice on how to heal a rotator cuff tear WITHOUT surgery.

The real key? Strengthening your upper traps. These muscles help with overhead motion, reducing strain on the rotator cuff and preventing further damage.

Surgery doesn’t fix this imbalance—it often makes it worse. Common rehab exercises targeting the rhomboids or rotator cuff might not be as effective as you think, while techniques like hanging can be incredibly beneficial.
