As with any type of injury, one of the most important elements for a successful recovery is following a specific set of exercises. And for an injury such as a rotator cuff injury, there are some very important rotator cuff exercises that everyone should follow if you want to completely cure your torn rotator cuff and eliminate your rotator cuff pain once and for all.

In as many as two thirds of all rotator cuff injuries, the sufferer has some degree of scapular instability and muscle imbalance.  As a result, it is very important to include scapular strengthening exercises as an early part of any good rotator cuff exercise rehab system.

There are dozens of rotator cuff exercises that will help you recover from a rotator cuff tear. Instead of going into all of these exercises I want to share with you, two rotator cuff exercises that I believe will give you the best chance for recovery.  The reason I am choosing these 2 is because there is a large degree of posterior(back) rotator cuff activation. It is very important that you always perform a combination of low weight and high repetition when you are doing these exercises.

Due to the fact that your rotator cuff muscles are small, high endurance and resistance are important as this will help improve the blood supply to your injured muscles which will help speed up your recovery time.

Rotator Cuff Exercise #1

External Rotation from Side-lying Position

Lie on the unaffected side of your body with your head supported by your hand.Put a pillow or towel roll between your torso and the affected armKeep your elbow bent and your arm tightly to your sideLift your arm in an external rotation, lower it and repeatCan also be done using tubingDo 2 sets of 15 repetitions

Rotator Cuff Exercise #2

Shoulder Extension with External Rotation

Lie face down on table or stability ball, with arms hanging down perpendicular to your bodyRaise your arms backward, your palms will be facing the floorLift your arms to body level and hold for a momentIn a controlled movement, return your arms to the original position.Do 2 sets of 15 repetitions

As you can see, you don’t need any special exercise equipment to perform these exercises.  The weight of a water bottle will provide enough resistance.  It’s important to keep a strict form throughout these exercises, less really is more when you are trying to recover from a rotator cuff injury.

I recommend you perform these rotator cuff specific exercises every other day for a week.  You should a vast improvement in your range of motion, an increase in shoulder strength and a decrease in should pain.
