Rotator Cuff Tears: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery

Rotator cuff tears affect the tendons that help move and stabilise the shoulder. Symptoms can include pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm.

What we assess and consider

Assessment of shoulder strength and movement; imaging where appropriate; treatment may include activity modification and physiotherapy, with repair discussed for selected tears.

Common reasons for assessment

  • Shoulder pain when lifting or reaching
  • Weakness after injury
  • Pain that disrupts sleep or overhead activity
Recovery and next steps: Rehabilitation is staged to protect healing tissues and restore movement and strength according to the treatment plan. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
