Hi all, for those of you with a supraspinatus / rotator cuff tear, physiotherapy treatment including an appropriate home exercise program (e.g. shoulder stretches, shoulder strengthening exercises, scapular stability exercises and rotator cuff strengthening) prior to any potential surgical intervention is important to help restore ROM, strength and function and can help to ensure an optimal outcome regardless of whether you do or don't go down the surgical pathway. These should of course be prescribed by your physiotherapist. Good luck to all!
