Rotator Cuff Repair Rehabilitation
Rotator cuff repair surgery helps fix torn tendons in the shoulder, which are important for lifting, reaching, and rotating your arm. These tears can happen from injuries, overuse, or aging. Physical therapy is essential after surgery to restore shoulder strength, mobility, and prevent stiffness.
