Welcome to Dr. Matthew Boes’s Rotator Cuff Repair Rehabilitation video series. This video is designed to help maximize your recovery following rotator cuff repair/surgery. The goal of our Phase 3 program for rotator cuff rehabilitation is to start light reconditioning exercises for the rotator cuff muscles. Remember the following as you engage in Phase 3 rotator cuff exercises:
Conduct STRETCHING exercises [1-5 below] to improve motion or how much you can move your arm
Do these exercises 2-3 times daily until full motion is achieved
Start aggressive stretching at this point if motion not normal
Do warm up stretching prior to each strengthening session
Conduct STRENGTHENING exercises [6-13 below] to improve muscle function
and endurance
Do every other or every third day to prevent irritation
These are high repetition and low resistance exercises
Start with one set of 12-15 reps; as strength improves go to two sets per session
Exercise bands (ex. Therabands) are used during this phase for light resistance (1-5lbs). Bands are color-coded. Start with the lightest resistance and progress to the next level over 1-2 weeks
No strengthening above shoulder level or with arm behind back
The following rotator cuff strengthening exercises, which are demonstrated in this video, should be conducted during phase 3 of your rotator cuff rehab:
WARM UP STRETCH - WALL SLIDES
WARM UP STRETCH - EXTERNAL ROTATION AT WAIST
WARM UP STRETCH - EXTERNAL ROTATION ABOVE SHOULDER
WARM UP STRETCH - CROSS BODY
WARM UP STRETCH - BEHIND BACK WITH STICK
BAND - ELEVATION AND ABDUCTION
BAND - EXTERNAL ROTATION
BAND - INTERNAL ROTATION
BAND - UPRIGHT HORIZONTAL ROW
STANDING ELEVATION
SUPINE PROTRACTION
RETRACTION & DEPRESSION @ SHOULDER LEVEL
RETRACTION & DEPRESSION @ WAIST LEVEL
Icing is very important after each therapy session, so be sure to place an ice pack or cooling pad on the affected shoulder for 10 minutes to help limit any irritation from exercise. If the affected joint is stiff, try using moist heat for 10 minutes prior to exercise to help loosen things up.
This video should not be used as a substitute for regular physical therapy visits and guidance from your physician. Only progress from one phase to the next based on recommendation from your physician. Most therapy regimens, particularly after rotator cuff repair, are based on a healing timeline. Progressing too quickly, even though it may feel okay at first, may put you at risk for injury. Regular physical therapy visits are valuable for giving you feedback on your progress and helping to ensure you are doing exercises properly. If you develop any questions or concerns regarding your condition while using this video, contact your physician. Best of luck in your recovery from your rotator cuff repair.

Why was warm up stretching applied at different angles? What is the difference from each other?

it varies. talking with my doctor, phase 3 usually begins when your range of motion is back to a comfortable level and it isnt too painful to add resistance with the active exercises you are assigned. I am in phase 3 now and I hit 11 weeks yesterday, However I started resistance exercises the week before, On the contrary I started phase 2 exercises at like 9 weeks due to being a little too tight to progress. I tore my infraspinatus btw

It would be best to add a comment that these exercises are to be done under guidance of physical therapists.

no because this is formal casual physical therapy not formal physical therapy meaning you can do these without a professional

wish you would of used a real person who went through the surgery instead of a body builder. He makes it look easy and its not easy at all. Normal people whom had the surgery cannot do what he is showing.

I agree. I'm supposed to be starting Phase 3 and when I used the lightest resistance band, I couldn't barely even move it. It is scary, almost like I have no strength in my shoulder muscles.

Don’t worry or compare yourself to the person demonstrating. We all progress at different levels and at different rates. Just go slowly and cautiously, building up your personal best. Your therapist will be your guide.
