So, my question is, has anyone here done PT for rotator cuff
tendinitis? Did it do any good, or should I just tough it out until
it heals on its own?

My experience with PT was about the same as yours - not much bang for
the buck. The last time (and I can't even remember what it was for) I
told them up front I'd probably only come for a visit or two and needed
them to give me a complete in-home plan. They were very accommodating.

Did you stick _absolutely_ to that plan? Assuming the plan was done by
a pro really trying to get you rehab'd, and you didn't work it
_absolutely_, you might as well have not bothered. What I mean by this
is, IME, one must take PT _seriously_ - do what the pros say to do and
don't do what tell you not to - for positive results. Try to think like
a professional athlete: "my career depends on this ****, and I really
like my career..."
