- Heating pads can offer pain relief when dealing with shoulder pain from an irritated rotator cuff tear.
It can help relax stiff muscles and take tension off the rotator cuff tendon. This can set you up to sleep better and be more comfortable throughout the day.
But it can also help you begin to exercise more effectively since you won't have stiff muscles working against you.

I'm using red light therapy. It's definitely helping my knee and keeping me out of knee replacement surgery, but my rotator cuff - not so much. I injured my rotator cuff about 6 weeks ago when I was carrying my 20 pound dog. I'm also using your program and I'm about to start lifting weights next week. I'm 78. Any thoughts on red light therapy?
Good infor. Thanks, Doctor! Compared heating pad to Infrared heating pad, which one is more effective when dealing with shoulder pain?
Hey Jian! Tough to say! The amount if research on infrared vs regular heating pads is rather limited. They should both be fine, but whichever you prefer is the best bet.
Thank you! I will try. @@epmanualphysicaltherapy
What about rotating between ice and heat 20 minutes each
Hi i had muscle tear in my heel area kindly help me 😢 its been one year i still have pain on my left leg
What do you think of PRP injections?
I had a rotator tear, perhaps 25 years ago. The pain was on and off for a least a year when I finally had the surgery that was absolutely necessary. The surgery took almost a year with physical therapy to heal. I have not had any problem nor pain since. The surgery was worth going through. Just be sure the doctor is 100% with that surgery. This may not be a job for physical therapy.
After 2 years of pain following an injury, I had a rotator cuff surgical repair, result was great. The surgeon told me that a physical therapist will say that physical therapy will help 90% of the time but a surgeon will say that 90% of the time you will need surgery to fix it.
Hey Jean and Martin! Great conversation here! There are instances where surgery should be recommended. However, the most commonly torn rotator cuff tendon is the supraspinatus. This is a very small muscle that can easily be phased out if necessary thanks to the other 3 rotator cuff muscles. Often times, the surgical repair will be done properly, but it is very easy to tear the tendon again in the early stages of recovery. Fixing the muscle imbalances that cause stress to the rotator cuff tendons are very important for long-term care of the rotator cuff, with or without surgery. Hope this helps!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks for that advice! I'm struggling with my other shoulder now but its not as bad as the first one, I couldn't lift my arm at all then, that was due to a traumatic injury. I'm planning to follow your great videos to strengthen and balance the muscles this time. Surgery last time meant five months off work with no earnings.
Ice pack good or not

Hi MrUniverse, check out this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mbPtvBnvG_URrY92av4QLtO.html
Is injected good to get. Please let me know. Thank you.
Hi Susan, these types of injections, including hyaluronic acid injections can be helpful but they are only a temporary fix. Once the shot wears off the pain will still be there if the root cause is not addressed. In most cases, the root cause is a muscle imbalance. 🌟
@@epmanualphysicaltherapyWhat's your opinion on PRP injections?
Hi, I just bought an arm sling as you suggested for my rotator cuff tear, but the pain seems to be far worse and continuous when using it than when not. Please advise 🙏

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank u sir for ur kind wrds
can one have the same blessure or syndrome in the hip ..and whats the name than..of that tear ?
Hip bursitis has some of the same symptoms and pain issues.
I had hip bursitis from falling on my hip and it was very painful at night time if I laid on my right side. After many years, I finally had a cortisone shot in that area--it seemed to have made it worse at first, but after about six months and massaging the area the bursitis completely went away.
Great question Marguerite! There are many muscles in the hip that act similarly to the rotator cuff, but the glutes are the most similar. If you believe you have a tear in this region, it may be advisable to seek imaging of the muscles. This can be something like an MRI or an ultrasound.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you ...good advise ❤️
@@NanaLovesRoses yea ...but I am afraid of cortisone shots ..while it s said that it will come back and have to repeat shot ..and its bad for bone ...but yes I wonder if it might be bursitis . what exact were your symptoms ..I also have pain when sleeping on that side ...
