To fix a rotator cuff tear we need to strengthen the muscles. People think they need rotator cuff stretches but that is incorrect.
Stretching a torn muscle will aggravate the tear and prevent it repairing.
If you have a rotator cuff injury or just want to fix shoulder pain this is for you. This is the basic strategy that can be applied to most rotator cuff tears. The subscapularis is a little different as it is an internal rotator.
But usually it's the infraspinatus, teres minor or the supraspinatus that is torn. All of these muscles are external rotators and this strategy works well to rehabilitate the shoulder injury and fix your shoulder pain.

@@wndrwmn72a44 you do both, always. But it's not a straight forward answer. Everyone want's to know the "do this and it will fix it" solution.

Sooo I've taken time off from the gym cause the first day I go back in 4 years I had pain in my rotator cuff. Been doing legs and core workouts since. Are you telling me I still need to work out but just lighter weights? Basically I can raise my arm over my head fine enough but it's very stiff and slightly painful to put my arm into an 90° L shape.

@UnityGymOnline 11 ай бұрын

Yes, you should definitely still be training your upper body, but the key is to manage the load effectively. Using lighter weights is one way to do this, but you can also manipulate your range of motion and choose specific exercises that won't exacerbate your issue. This is where a well-thought-out, progressive program comes into play. Progressive programming is crucial for rehabbing an injury like yours. So don't shy away from training; just make smarter choices about how you train. 👌

I’m able to do all those movements practically fine I’m trying to figure out if I should just start strengthening it more like should I just start doing more chest press and up in the way, I don’t know if my shoulders weak, but I can do all those movements perfectly fine with a good range of motion, but I still have pain.

@UnityGymOnline 7 ай бұрын

Hey Josh, It sounds like you've been really diligent with your rotator cuff exercises, which is great. If you're able to perform movements with a good range of motion but still experiencing pain, it could be a sign that your shoulder needs a more structured strengthening program. Sometimes, even if we can move well, the muscles might not be strong enough to support the joint effectively, leading to pain. Given your situation, I'd suggest considering more targeted strength work, not just general exercises like chest press. It's crucial to ensure that your program is balanced and addresses all aspects of shoulder health - strength, stability, and mobility. Joining the UMS Tribe Membership would be an excellent step for you. As part of the membership, I can create a customized program tailored to your specific needs. This program will help you strengthen your shoulder in a safe and effective way, addressing the root of the pain and not just the symptoms. With the UMS Tribe, you'll get more than just exercises; you'll get a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and fitness. Here's the link to join unitygym.com/ums and you can start with a free trial to see if it's for you. Keep up the great work and stay consistent; you're on the right path.

@UnityGymOnline 3 ай бұрын

you should start loading it straight away. If the thought of a strength workout makes you cringe in pain, remember, there are many loading variables we coaches use to effectively align the workout difficulty with your starting and current capabilities. Then it is our job to guide you through progressive overload, where we increase the challenge as your body adapts and evolves. Such variables include, but are not limited to: Weight: How heavy the load is that you use to stimulate muscles. Volume: The total sets and reps in a workout, and the amount of workouts in a week. Tempo: How fast you move the weight up and down, or pause between directions. Range of Movement: The depth of range that you move the weight. Contraction Type: Static holds, eccentric and concentric muscle contractions. Recovery: Both between exercise sets and between workouts.

Great question! Actually, you shouldn't stretch before strength training, especially when dealing with a rotator cuff tear. Stretching before strength exercises sends contradictory signals through the nervous system, which can increase your risk of injury.

Sir I've been having rotator cuff tendonitis , gonna take a break can u tell me how light should I go when I return ?

@UnityGymOnline Жыл бұрын

Hi there, while it's understandable you might think rest is the answer, tendonitis doesn't necessarily improve with rest alone. When it comes to tendon issues, the real key is to strengthen the tendons using a method called progressive overload. This involves gradually increasing the amount of weight or resistance in your workouts over time. You might be wondering, how light should you go when you return? The answer is - light enough that you can perform the exercise with correct form and without pain, but heavy enough to challenge the muscles. Remember, it's not about the weight itself but the challenge to your muscles and tendons that counts. Including the exercises in this video will be a good starting point. It's also important to strengthen the prime movers and scapular stabilizers. These muscles work in unison with the rotator cuff, and ensuring their strength can aid in your recovery and prevent future issues. Also, consider trying my rotator cuff strengthening routine which is designed to help you improve the strength of the muscles around your shoulders kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZ6krKSC18inmas.html It's specifically targeted at rehabilitating injuries and reducing shoulder pain. Please remember to always consult a medical professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you're dealing with an injury. Hope you find this helpful and wishing you a speedy recovery! 💪😊

@arthurhowe9902 Жыл бұрын

Rotator cuff

@UnityGymOnline Жыл бұрын

@arthurhowe9902 OK, there are four rotator cuff muscles. But muscle tears don't re open. It's more likely you're dealing with pain memory. The nervous system remembers the injury and creates pain sensation even when the injury is healed. We need to train a range if motion that only just pushes into where you feel pain. Then we gradually increase that range until you regain full range, then we increase weight. This is a basic explanation of progressive overload when returning to weights after a rotator cuff tear

@UnityGymOnline 9 ай бұрын

@@bouncer812 To know the specific type of rotator cuff tear you're dealing with, the first step is to see a physiotherapist for a proper diagnosis. They have the expertise to determine the nature and extent of the tear. You're also correct that a partial tear can indeed become a full tear under load. This risk is precisely why it's crucial to work with a coach experienced in rehabbing shoulder injuries. The key to successful rehab isn't avoiding lifting weights; it's about doing it right. That means performing exercises correctly, choosing the right exercises based on your stage of rehab, managing the load appropriately, and ensuring proper recovery after workouts. This is why professional guidance is vital if you're not fully versed in these principles. While a video like this can be immensely valuable to someone with extensive training experience who understands progressive overload and smart training but needs specific guidance on rotator cuff rehab, it's not ideal for novices. If you're new to the gym or don't have a deep understanding of these concepts, relying solely on KZfaq for injury rehab advice is not advisable.

@UnityGymOnline 10 ай бұрын

@c17mark thanks for clarifying. Allow me to clarify my education and experience. I am a licenced PT, though that is rather easy for anyone to become. I've been a coach for 25 years and attended more courses with industry leaders on injury rehab than I care to list here. When I had a SLAP tear in both shoulders, I had two world class sports physios working in my gym. We would workout together Monday to Friday, and I was able to have my rehab programs closely monitored by them. That experience gave me a level of knowledge in shoulder rehab that very few coaches in the world have. Not only have I completely fixed two traumatic shoulder injuries in myself, and I am now stronger and more capable than before the injuries. But I've also achieved the same results with hundreds of clients around the world. With all due respect, the advice I've given in this video and my comments is sound. However, you're advice is not. Saying people should only use Banded work and avoid weights and pressing is ignorant to effective shoulder rehab strategies. And to be clear, I only say that I'm not a medical professional to clarify that I am not qualified to diagnose injuries. However, when it comes to exercise prescription and writing effective rehab programs. I'm far more experienced than most medical professionals.

@c17mark 10 ай бұрын

PT as in Personal Trainer, correct? Not Physical Therapist. I’m not saying avoid weights. I’m merely stating that your video is a hodge-podge of pushing/pulling/weights/rings etc and there is a definitive graded process to rehabilitation. It takes a bit of time to get back to weights and exercises you showed. Perhaps rework the video.

To fix a rotator cuff tear, the first thing you need after confirming that it is torn with an MRI, is to get it repaired surgically... All of these strengthening exercises are great, and are an essential part of your physical therapy after your surgery is done but the surgery is pretty much the first step none of this is going to do anything for your rotator cuff in the absence of surgery, I'm sure this is what the narrator must have mad but he seems to have neglected the surgery part.
