Rotator Cuff Tears

Have you been told that you have a rotator cuff tear?

This often leads to the worry that it is ruptured and that it needs to be repaired through surgery. But did you know that you don’t always need surgery? 

What you should know: 

• There are different degrees of rotator cuff tears

• Some people with rotator cuff tears will be symptomatic (e.g. pain or weakness) but some will have no symptoms

• Symptomatic patients can still avoid surgical intervention through following an individually tailored rehab program
