From: "JR"

"...Unfortunately, I also think (as you were in part alluding to) that the
prospects for
average folks well into middle age, dealing with problems caused by
decades of wear and tear, *are* probably much less promising than for
younger, very fit folks who suffer a specific discrete injury..."
" I was interested more in folks' experience with this particular problem
rather than with PT experiences in general (not that folks' thoughts on
those aren't also welcome....)"

Although most of my injuries occurred when I was much younger -
my most recent knee problem just happened and I am on the far side of 50.
I know that this is not the same as rotator cuff' "stuff " but again
I swear by physical therapy.

IMO

If you go to a good therapist & maintain the regimen - It should work.
What really have you got to lose except a little $$ and some time?
For me - Its better than living w the pain - and it probably will not just
go away.
