text: therapy for rotator cuff injury? is anyone receving therapy for an injured rotator cuff. if yes, how is this working for you. another alternative is surgery but if ample relief can acheived be through therapy how long does it take to see significant results. been there, done that.  although it can take quite a while with therapy, it's very likely you'll have to have surgury eventually.  after the surgury, it takes almost one year to fully recover and have normal usage again, but it's well worth it!
