Rotator Cuff Repair Rigby

Step-by-Step Approach to Rotator Cuff Rehabilitation

1. Comprehensive Assessment
   Your journey begins with a thorough assessment of your shoulder condition. We will evaluate your range of motion, strength, and functional abilities, as well as review your medical history. This initial consultation allows us to understand the extent of your injury and develop an effective treatment plan.
2. Pain Management and Initial Healing
   In the early stages of treatment, our primary focus is to manage pain and inflammation. Techniques such as manual therapy, ice application, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound therapy may be used to reduce pain and promote healing.
3. Restoring Range of Motion
   Once pain is under control, we will begin gentle exercises designed to restore your shoulder’s range of motion. Stretching, joint mobilization, and controlled movements will help improve flexibility without straining the healing tendons.
4. Strengthening and Stability Exercises
   Strengthening the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles is essential to regain full function. Our therapists will guide you through a progressive strengthening program that targets not only the injured tendons but also the muscles around the shoulder blade and upper back. This comprehensive approach ensures improved stability and reduced risk of re-injury.
5. Functional Training
   After building strength and flexibility, we will introduce functional training exercises. This phase focuses on restoring the shoulder’s ability to perform everyday tasks and sports-specific movements. Whether you need to return to your job, hobbies, or athletic activities, our therapists will help you practice safe, effective movements that minimize the risk of re-injury.
6. Prevention Strategies
   At Rigby Pick PT, we believe in equipping our clients with the knowledge to maintain their recovery. We provide education on posture, proper lifting techniques, and personalized home exercise programs. These preventative measures are essential for keeping your shoulder healthy and avoiding future injuries.
