It's the sling. The slow PT sessions. The wondering if you're healing "right."

Real, lasting recovery can take 4 to 6 months. That's not a setback; that's how tendons heal.

We’ve talked to a physical therapist to walk you through what recovery could look like after rotator cuff surgery:

Sometimes, an injury makes you wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again.

Valerie knows that feeling. As a salon owner and stylist, she relies on her arms every single day. When shoulder pain made it impossible to lift her right arm, she worried she might lose the career she built, and the active lifestyle she loved.

Dr. Christopher Baker diagnosed a torn rotator cuff and recommended the Integrity Implant to augment the repair. This hyaluronic acid-based scaffold works with your body to support the healing of tendon tissue and promote more natural healing.

One year later, Valerie is back to work, back on the pickleball court, and back to paddleboarding, pain-free.

If you're facing tendon repair, ask your surgeon about biologic options like Integrity. Innovation is changing what recovery can look like.

When shoulder pain made it impossible to lift her right arm, she feared she might lose her ability to work and do what she loves. After consulting with Dr. Christopher Baker, a torn rotator cuff was diagnosed and repaired with the Integrity Implant.
