Rotator Cuff Exercise Program For Fast Recovery, Rehabilitation and Shoulder Strengthening

A shoulder disorder or injury should always include a rotator cuff exercises program as the main core of a recovery process. Other treatments include anti inflammatories, cortisone injections, ice packs, hot packs, ultrasounds, manipulation and even surgery. But it is only a program of physical therapy that can really turn the table for a fast and effective recovery.

A program based on rotator cuff exercises consists of few main external and rotational movements performed by the person affected on a daily basis, not just at the therapist surgery. Without any additional resistance or with a light one, depending on severity or recovery phase, such exercises stimulate and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. This is especially useful following surgery or to recover from a tear, as specific cuff training will cut down recovery times preventing future injuries. (more…)
