Rotator Cuff Injury Rehab
Rotator Cuff Injury Rehabilitation is a structured recovery program designed to restore shoulder strength, flexibility, and function after a rotator cuff injury. It can be used both post-surgery and for non-surgical management of partial tears, tendonitis, or impingement. A well-planned rehab protocol helps reduce pain, regain mobility, and prevent re-injury.
