TRUE or FALSE: Rotator cuff tears always need surgery? 🤔
❌ FALSE — and this is one of the most common misconceptions we see in the clinic!
Many people with rotator cuff tears — even full thickness ones — recover successfully without ever going under the knife. The right physical therapy program can restore strength, reduce pain, and get you back to doing what you love.
Surgery isn't always the answer. A proper evaluation is the best place to start. 👇
