Rotator Cuff Tear Everything You Need To Know To Understand & Fix The Root Problem

- Rotator cuff tears can heal NATURALLY without surgery if you do the right things. Most healthcare professionals don’t know this and don’t know how to guide their patients on healing naturally.
Treatment for a torn rotator cuff is heavily focused on medications, injections, and surgery. If you do physical therapy for your rotator cuff injury, most physical therapists are unsure of how to properly treat a rotator cuff injury with the goal of avoiding surgery. They’re used to treating people that have already had rotator cuff repair surgery, and that is a completely different shoulder rehabilitation process.
In this video, Dr. David explains all you need to know to understand and begin fixing the root problem of rotator cuff tears for the long-term.

What are you?!!!!!! No one and I mean no one has ever been able to explain the exact blue print for this enormously common problem! I’ve been suffering for years, been to multiple physiotherapists and they have given me complete nonsensical garbage and only gotten worse! Within 2 minutes of this video I knew you had diagnosed my problem! Thank you! You should be paid 18x your current rate
Dr, thank you SO much! I feel like I've been to "rotator cuff" school. My left shoulder has been hurting like hell! I did a little research and came across your video. The way you explained everything felt like an honest doctor- patient conversation and not just a TH-cam video.
Bang on, best ive listened too, a Dr who i can understand everything.
How did you hurt your shoulder?
Best video on the subject. I needed this. Thank you so much Dr.
Ive had chronic shoulder bursitis for years, both shoulders, plus some arthritis in both shoulders and now recently diagnosed with two small rotator cuff tears in both shoulders - they looked just like the partial tear sketch in your video when i saw them on the live ultrasound scan a few weeks ago. Hoping to get sone long-term pain relief and healing and hope to stop this stuff getting worse. Physiotherapist told me my problems have likely been caused through wear and tear and overuse through swimming, plus age related (Im 60 yrs old). I sometimes think too much is attributed to getting older, my parents lived into their nineties without shoulder problems and neither of my two older brothers have these issues. Thanks for uploading this video, you give me hope in getting better.
Thanks for this. I've ordered the book and a sling. You have confirmed my ongoing issue.
I wished I had seen your video a year ago. I had a bad fall in early Dec 2022; was told I probably had whiplash. I chiropractor did say he thought something was going on with my right shoulder. The pain radiated along my shoulders, neck, down the outside of my arms; my traps front and back ached at times. I went to my regular Dr.; she just sent me to the hospital therapist. He told me to do all the stretches & exercises you said in your video NEVER to do with rotary cuff tear! No wonder I wasn't healing. I quit doing the exercises & stretches about 2 months of doing them on and off; I would end up in worse pain after doing them. So, I got fed up; discouraged and just quit doing the exercises. I only took walks afteer that. It's been a year now and I'm much, much better. I think in time it'll heal completely. Watching your video pretty much described where I had the pain in my shoulder, and everything I did wrong! Don't exercise a rotary cuff tear, and tendons can heal on their own. I'm not young, I'm 60 and mine healed up by letting it rest, but it did take months. Thanks for the confirmation and advice.
😢😢😢 I was hurt in December, on the 3rd, I told her to stop, she was hurting me, this person over 60 or 70 lbs heavier she took me over 4 chairs... Wicked falsehood of person...I told her that I had painsss...yep, who hurts someone with neck pains...now I have this new injury done to me...what happens in the dark will come out to the light..no one can mock Jeh God..
Yes! You are an angel sent to give us real info for healing our precious body. 16 years ago, I suffer a fall and went to treatment. In the last therapy I felt a little uncomfortable, later at home I was screaming with pain. My son had to give me a massage. And suggested me to do what you are describing -more or less, since he studied how to apply massages. Doctor said I needed surgery. Some people suggested me to go through it -FOR WORKERS COMP- I declined it because I thought It wasn’t worth the handicap money. I kept working and just retired this last March.
I am now 78 and even though I haven’t done the exercises religiously, I am really in excellent shape. Yes! You can heal yourself!
From now on, I certainly will follow your suggestions to feel better and better.
Blessings on your way. Mayu.
Very brave of you Bob to make this video. You guys are great !
Thank you for being the example of courage !
My husband went thru 2 painful shoulder surgeries & was told that next time he'd have to have a shoulder replacement. This video makes so much more sense than all those surgeries for a rotator cuff tear.
OMG! All the exercises you show not to do if surgery is not for you, are the ones PT gave me to do at home. Thank you for this super informative video on rotator cuff tears. I'm so glad your video popped up! It's awesome!
😢😢😢yep...I just get in hot bath and move my left arm up, therapy was killing me and I was dying all night..
How simply it has been explained. Thank you so much.
You are so clear and therefore in my humble opinion you are a great teacher! Thank you 🙏
I'm 75 years old and 9 years ago I had an accident and have bilateral full thickness supraspinatus tendon tears no one has ever explained this to me like you have thank you so much I have found swimming is very helpful for me. I will watch more videos to see what you suggest for continued exercise therapy. Thanks again❣️

We also have a great rotator cuff tear recovery program if you would be interested in looking into that. Here is a link with more information:
Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program
The Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program is a comprehensive program designed to get your shoulder pain under control to allow the rotator cuff tendons to heal. Then it guides you to correct the underlying root muscle imbalances so that you can fix the source of the problem (rather than just treat the symptoms) and get long-term relief from shoulder pain. This program works even if you've had rotator cuff surgery in the past but continue to have rotator cuff problems.

This is the best anatomical description I've ever heard/seen. Extremely helpful!
Best explanation and breakdown hands down 😮
So grateful for this video. Thank you for explaining everything is detail.
Excellent info. I appreciate the clear explanations. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Very thorough. Great delineation between pre-surgery therapy and post surgery therapy. And great explanation about the anatomy.
U are Amazing Doctor. Very well explained ❤. That's exactly where the pain is on my left shoulder.
Thanks so much. Great advice ❤
Thank you for your informative and easy to understand videos!
Thank you for explaining this so well.
This segment is very accurate. Thank you very much! Please share the moves that are for people who are not going for surgery. So the exercises I have been given just as you said, were actually for after the surgery. Again you mentioned precisely, yesterday, I did those exercises that you showed we shouldn't do if our goal is not surgery. I feel the pain and thought something may be these are not the proper moves. Since I'm trying to prevent a surgery, I should have found a physical therapist to heal the rotator cuff area to possibly prevent the surgery. I have been doing researches for one year now and have postponed the surgery since it's a small tear. This was the only site that divided before from after the surgery.
Thank you so much. This is me. I’ve been struggling since January and just had my MRI with a partial tear and a bunch of info on it but surgeon says frozen shoulder. Getting a shot next week but pain in my arm is frustrating and now I understand it. I’ve been using my arm way too much in retrospect.
10/10!!!!!!! I have a fresh tear and this video is exactly what I needed
Thanks for the information. Most other videos on this subject dont give this level of knowledge
Such a great video! Thank you so much! Very well explained 🤜🤛
Omg…. Thank you so much for explaining in such a simple & detailed way…. Stay Blessed 🌷
I’ve been looking for good video in a year for my case and finally found and understand my problem , informative video thanks a lot dr , 🎉
You are the best answer so far. Thankyou
Great video! I was recently diagnosed with rotator cuff injuries and you help me to fully understand my options. Thanks so much.
Thank you David. Excellent video.
Thank you for this information!
Super helpful information...thank you...
Perfect. I have fallen and driven my arm down to catch myself and thus driving my shoulder back. This is exactly my pain explained. Thanks so much.
excellent explanation, information and demo.
Very accurate info, all of it. I have done clinical and hospital medical transcription for many years, and I pay attention, as I am also a patient.
I recently had an MRI and they found 2 minor rotator cuff tears.
I talked it over with my surgeon, and he actually agreed that I should try and rehab it myself before considering surgery.
I want to say I think your videos and presentation are so much better than most on YT, even better than the PT I was referred to.
Thank you! Subed and Liked
Did it heal itself?
What did u do to get it heal naturally?
God bless you doctor! You are a sample of what “doctors” should be like. 💕👍
I have a tear in my right rotator cuff and trying to figure out the best nonsurgical treatment. I haven't yet finished watching the video, but want to chime in. This is a terrific video and I'm fortunate to click on it instead of the numerous others.
Thank you i pray i can get to feeling better been fighting the fight for 27 yrs
Very thorough, and super nice guidance that is extremely helpful to understand the nature and root cause of the problem
In was many times to chiropractor for the neck, many times to physio...but, they don't was correctly to treat my rotator cuff tear. Thank you. Brilliant
Great video, very detailed , easy to understand ...most of all extremely helpful!!!!!
Very informative. Have a much better understanding of the whole issue. Realize I probably do not have as serious a tear as originally thought. Thank you.
Thank you so much I now know I have a cuff injury.
The tenderness on the edge and out to top of arm excellent advice x
Love how u explain things
This is FANTASTIC!! My husband has been having shoulder pain and arm with numbness in his hand. It sounds like you answered our question of what the pain is from. You explain so a person can understand. You answered all my questions without even having to ask. 😁
Great video! Very informative. Thank-you!
You are an angel on earth. Thank you for all you do. I listened to you and 11 months later, my traveling knee cap returned home and the pain in my knee is mostly gone. Looking forward to healing my shoulder. May blessings flow into your life now and always.
Thank you I have been searching for someone who knows when I'm going through everything you describe the pain the lifting everything is exactly how it feels thank you I will try your advice and thank you
Thank you, Thank you, thank you! You confirmed a lot of thoughts that I had been having about my injury but hadn't heard anyone else talk about it that way. The shoulder instability is a big problem for me.
Wow! What an education you provided on Torn Rotator Cuffs. You left no stone unturned. Extremely helpful. I learned more from you than I did from three docs. Now I know what to do, and now I know that I definitely have a partial tear. Love the graphics, the skeletal display, the lighting, the sound, the seamless continuity, and the actual exercise demonstrations. You kept it interesting. You have a thorough command of your profession and also know how to teach. So informative. Kudos.
Excellent video. Thank you!! I find that using an inversion table is very helpful. I have a supraspinatus partial tear and frozen shoulder. I’ve been following your suggestions and they are working well.
Thank you for braking down explanation of rotator cuff with terms that are practical. While viewing video sort of did a self-examination and found out several issues coincided with the different pain that you discussed.
Have had pains in my knee and have been getting injections almost three years now. been in and out of physical rehab after a small Stroke, {Tia} with weakness on my left side. My left shoulder pain just came on after grocery shopping and lifting 40lb bag of dog food plus 40 bottles of water along with lots of groceries. It is going on 7-8 months when first mentioned to primary care, took an ultrasound and mri , ex-ray. Plus, doing video armchair exercises. Currently in tai chi.... Was unaware how serious my situation is. Pain is real! thank you for helping.
😮😊Thank you Doc! Very informative !
This information are so helpful ,describe exactly my case. Thanks
Thank you so much...very informative video
high quality content thanks man
Hi you make lisyening and understanding of the condition so easy. Have watched and ordered a door pulley so fingers crossed!
God bless you for this information. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you for such an informative video!!! I learned so much and I’m a RN suffering from this problem. It’s been several years I’ve been suffering, and it’s getting worse. I’m glad you stated several times you have to get the root of the problem.
Thanks so much for this helpful video. I was doing some home gym and overdid things, but I did not realize that going on with exercise could make it worse. Now I know what direction to take. God bless you.
You are a great teacher!
Absolutely astounded that you have articulated everything i needed to know, over and above my GP, my sports injury GP, and my orthopaedic specialist.. you are simply amazing! I so wish i had found you 5 years ago, when my trouble started. Allot if running around since then and even surgery
Thank you !
Love your explanation on every detail thank you so much, my hubby just found out today that he has this on his right shoulder had an mri done yesterday, and does not want surgery like any man wouldn't😊 and I have it going on my right same discomfort, but I haven gone to dr for it. Thank you so much for this video. New subscriber
Thank you for your explanation I'm going to try the exercise it's really good God blessyou😊
I learned a lot. I had always been told not to use a sling. You show how to properly use one.
Thank you so much, for telling us, about the risk of having a shoulder surgery, especially rotator cuff, which I am having so much pain.
U r so AWESOME & thorough-Thanx
❤ this was a very complete and helpful video. Thank you very much. The therapist I worked with had me doing some of those exercises that you mentioned about rotation they didn't help very much. Good work!
I’m scheduled for the surgery April 16, 2024. Thank you for saving me from surgery. When you said that the results are the same, I am so relieved 😌 😊❤
I do like the videos you have. I went to P.T. just to get a diagnoses, and she gave me exercises that you said you should not do. So thanks so much for clear instructions.
By far the best demonstration on this condition on the Internet! - Great work!
Hi MJ, thank you so much for the encouraging words!
Thank you for explaining it so well. Very understandable.
Excellent video i was just diagnosed with a full thickness tear in my right shoulder and i have been doing PT and everything you mentioned is true,i felt some of the PT was making it worse but i will be trying your exercise and shoulder brace. 💪🏾 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thx friend. Super helpful.
You teach very well. Thank you!
This video has been enlightening. Thank you for all you do to help us!
Hey Rhonda! We are happy to help. Thank you for tuning in!🧡
Brilliant video many thanks for sharing., this sounds exactly what I have. been to doctor sent me to have physio but he didn't mention this. Best wishes from the uk love your channel thank you for your work 🙏
Very nice explanation of all aspects of rotator cuff problems. My PT person gave me exercises what you said are harmful and my pain got worse. I am gong to wear the shoulder strap and do over the door pulley exercises. That make sense to me . Thanks a lot for making this video. It is very helpful.
Excellent info😊
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Excellent video, thank you so much.
You are the best and brightest PT I've ever seen. Thanks so much as I try to navigate my new tear. MANY THANKS!! My pain came overnight and is nearly unbearable. Can't even come close to doing even one of your tests. (AGE 56, runner/biker/weight trainer)
The quality of information is outstanding. Not one of the caregivers visited/consulted provided the quality of information to assist in understanding the injury and correcting the issue. Your professional guidance is missing in the day to day health care. Thank you!
This video has been the ABSOLUTE BEST description to my understanding of my problem!! Many thanks for the information!
I have a massive rotator cuff tear (total separation of 2 muscles and partial tear of another) and have been in physical therapy 1x/week for 7 months. I’m doing all I can to avoid surgery. I’m told my only option is total reverse shoulder surgery which will leave me with very limited mobility.
I'm suffering from it and this is the most, well explained video I've watched. I have the prescription for physio appointment before watching this video and I'm going to make a decision when I get there. I'm also going to see the specialist a month from the time of writing this video. Thank you so much my friend
Very useful information. Thank you! BTW, people who knit a lot can also experience wrist, elbow and shoulder strain, serious stress, and rotator cuff challenges, especially if they haven't been knitting for a year or so. The motion is the result of repetative stress and twisting the joint, potentially thousands of times a day if knitting a sweater, etc.
Excellent drawing. Thank you again.
Hi Lina, you are welcome! Thanks for the kind words. 🧡
This is a great presentation of the problem. I injured my shoulder recently and every is telling me don't get surgery unless absolutely necessary. Thank you for explaining the shoulder anatomy and purpose of the cuff so clearly.
Thank you for this
Wish I had known all this years ago, I cannot thank you enough 👍
Good video. Thank you
Thank you, I changed my mind about having surgery & will be trying out your exercises 1st. I'll let you know how I get on thanks again 🙏🤞💪
So informative. Thank you for this comprehensive and clear explanation. My work however means I don't get to rest my shoulder much so maybe I am destined for lifetime trouble. Thanks anyway because I understand the issue better.
Good video. You explained my symptoms 100% perfectly. As I wait for my dr appts which takes weeks/months to schedule, I will begin my own rehab in the hopes I can avoid any surgery. Thanks you.
Dr. Your teachings for rotator cuff has helped me immensely. I've had pain and limited motion for several years. I'm now lifting my arm up higher each day. I can comb my hair and lift my disabled grandchild without severe pain. Thank you. Blessings.
Thank you so much.
This is amazing, I needed all this info. Thank you 🙏
Hi Heidi! You are so welcome! We are happy to hear this information was useful to you!
This was so informative.. Thank you Dr so much for your time and sharing your knowledge. It is truly appreciated. I feel well equipped now to start the healing process.
Hey Cherie, wohoooo!!! We are so excited for you!! Please keep us posted on how you do!!
Awesome to know, thank you! Even with surgery, doctor says 80% mobility. I feel that way now without surgery at 74 with 2 torn ligaments since accident 1 year ago with PT. Plus 6 mos on a sling after surgery. ER doc said no sling…??? Had friend die at the anesthesia table… oh right infections … still researching to determine what is best. God bless you in your openness and optimistic advice.
Listening to this and I'm thinning, on a personal level.. What use is my doctor to me?
Doctors should be held to account.
If i had a doctor like you, i don't think, after seven years and more, my pain would be so brutal.
You guys are showing them up so much.
Again great video.
Thank you. ❤
This is great info. I definitely have mild acute left rotator cuff damage from direct blunt trauma to left side onto concrete road while cycling (almost thought I broke both my arm and collarbone...). That was six weeks ago. Has healed enough to where sleeping I toss and turn naturally and end up directly on top of damage. That wakes me up. Noticed that I have automatically adopted the shoulder shrug as a pain-free way to move arm overhead as an alternate sleeping position. Still have minor referred pain down left arm and very very minor numbness. Thanks a bunch.
