Default Rotator cuff stuff


"JR" wrote in message ...
A while ago I was diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis in my left
shoulder.

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?

I have been thru PT numerous times.
In younger years I was a serious racquetball player and had 2 arthroscopic
knee surgeries
- both times w extensive PT at the facility and at home - It worked and
worked well!

Earlier I had a serious rotator cuff injury from baseball pitching and
racquetball - - and PT worked well then also.

I recently - 6 mos ago - blew my knee out on a strenuous hike - and again
PT was successful.
You have to be patient. Do the exercises diligently at the facility and at
home or while traveling using bands

As one PT facility said -"no pain - no gain"

I am definitely an advocate of PT.
It has worked for me!
