Physical therapy for rotator cuff injuries focuses on reducing pain, restoring shoulder strength, and improving range of motion. Early stages often include gentle exercises like pendulum swings to promote movement without stressing the shoulder, and isometric exercises to maintain strength without joint motion. As healing progresses, patients perform external rotation with resistance bands to strengthen the rotator cuff and scapular retraction exercises to improve shoulder blade stability. Flexibility work, such as the sleeper stretch, helps restore internal rotation. Later stages may incorporate wall slides and prone T, Y, and I exercises to further build shoulder control and endurance. Therapy is tailored to each patient’s injury severity and is critical for recovery, especially to avoid long-term weakness or stiffness.
