That takes tension off the tendon, reduces pain levels, and allows you to heal faster. Imagine if you could do that in just a few minutes every day while you're recovering. Imagine that you could have a full recovery in 6-8 weeks, instead of a less-than-full recovery in 8-12 months.
It requires approximately 4-6 weeks for the rotator cuff tendon to heal down into the bone. During that time if active motion of the shoulder is carried out, the rotator cuff may be pulled away from its repair site. Patients begin a formal physical therapy program at approximately 10-14 days from surgery. For the first 4-6 weeks, patients are allowed to actively move their hand, wrist and elbow.
