Avoid Serious Rotator Cuff Injuries through Early Therapy

Rotator cuff injuries can be annoying at times and can be severely painful. Most often, rotator cuff tears are not easily detected. It has been found out, during autopsies that seventy percent of 80 year olds have the tear. About thirty percent of those under 70 years of age also have the same rotator cuff injuries. As the age becomes older, the body becomes weaker and susceptible to injuries. One can do many abrupt movements. In the process of a great deal of movement, harm can be incurred.

Rotator Cuff Surgeries are tedious and the fact is therapy along with an extensive exercise program is needed for the patient to fully recover. As to when the exercises would start, it all depends on the degree of the injury. These exercises start-out as slow then gradually increases in pace. Usually, the elbow is hard and stiff after the surgery. The beginning exercises that do not require stretching and lifting serve to make the muscles more flexible.
