Degenerative Rotator Cuff Tears

A variant of the previous complaint this is more degenerative in nature and can lead to more weakness than pain. Thankfully the latest and greatest evidence suggests even with a traumatic caused this often improves with a strength based (loading) exercise programme but on occasion if multiple parts are injured severely enough referral to a specialist surgeon for repair can be indicated following an MRI scan which your specialist LWF MSK Physiotherapist will be able to advise you about if indicated.
