Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tears are a common injury, especially in individuals who engage in repetitive overhead activities or heavy lifting. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that provide stability and movement to the shoulder joint. When these tissues are torn, either due to acute trauma or gradual wear and tear, it can result in significant pain, weakness, and limited shoulder mobility. At Surge Wellness, we understand the impact that rotator cuff tears can have on your daily life. Our goal is to provide effective treatment that promotes healing and restores your shoulder’s strength and function.

A rotator cuff tear can range from a small partial tear to a complete rupture, causing difficulty in lifting objects, reaching overhead, or even performing simple tasks like getting dressed. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to further damage and potentially more invasive treatments down the line. At Surge Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach to managing rotator cuff tears, combining expert assessment, advanced techniques, and personalized care to address the severity of your injury. Our focus is on reducing pain, improving range of motion, and preventing future injuries to help you regain full function of your shoulder.

How We Treat Rotator Cuff Tears

At Surge Wellness, we use a combination of physiotherapy and registered massage therapy to effectively treat rotator cuff tears. Our physiotherapy program focuses on strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving shoulder stability, and promoting tissue healing through targeted exercises and manual therapy. Joint mobilization and therapeutic exercises are employed to restore shoulder function and increase flexibility, while specific strengthening routines help to build resilience in the rotator cuff and prevent re-injury. Our physiotherapists work with you to gradually progress your treatment, ensuring that your recovery is both safe and effective.

Massage therapy is an essential component of rotator cuff rehabilitation, addressing muscle tightness and reducing inflammation in the affected area. Our registered massage therapists utilize techniques such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and trigger point therapy to relieve pain and promote circulation. This not only enhances the body’s natural healing process but also improves mobility and reduces tension in the surrounding muscles. By integrating physiotherapy with massage therapy, we offer a holistic approach to rotator cuff tear treatment, helping you recover faster and return to your normal activities with confidence and strength.
