Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Many rotator cuff tears respond very well to physiotherapy. We'll assess your specific situation and can help you make an informed decision about surgery if conservative treatment isn't sufficient.
This varies by condition. Minor strains may resolve in 3-4 weeks, while complex issues like frozen shoulder or post-surgical rehab can take several months. We'll provide a realistic timeline after your assessment.
It depends on the cause and severity. We'll help you modify your training to avoid aggravating movements while maintaining fitness. Complete rest is rarely necessary and can sometimes be counterproductive.
