I can’t comment on your specific injury without asking a lot more questions first.
That said, following up on my recent note: if there are particular classes, whiteboard sessions, movement breakdowns, or topics you’d like me to cover, leave a comment below.
One thing I try to be mindful of is that injuries are nuanced. A diagnosis alone rarely tells the whole story. Two people can have the exact same MRI finding and require completely different approaches based on their symptoms, strength, goals, history, lifestyle, and physical exam.
That’s why questions like, “What should I do for my torn rotator cuff?” (or any diagnosis, for that matter) are difficult to answer responsibly in a comment section. The honest answer is usually, “It depends,” followed by a long list of important considerations.
If you’re dealing with an injury, seek out an assessment from someone who can evaluate your specific situation. The process of finding the right provider and approach can be frustrating, but meaningful answers usually come from understanding the whole picture—not just the diagnosis.
In the meantime, start with non-negotiable like basic joint maintenance. I hope this helps you better understand the factors that drive good decision-making.
