rotator cuff tear, does it help?

I don't know Sharon. My friend's injury was sustained years ago in an accident, but the shoulder still pains especially when he does heavy lifting. The shoulder support helps stable and support his shoulder and gives him relief. It may help to support the shoulder as the rotator cuff tear heals, but I am not a medical doctor, so check with a professional. Sorry I could not give a simple yes or no answer.

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.

I had a ruptured disc, L4-L5. Surgery removed about 75% of it, it was hyper-extended. Weight loss and exercise pretty well took care of the post surgery ache but every now and it does start again. I tried the IcyHot not really expecting it to work but have been surprised to find that it does. I probably only need it about twice a month but it does help when stretching doesn't.

When first applied it feels cool. After a few minutes there is a warming sensation. I would not recommend applying heat after application. This product has helped me relieve muscle aches and pains as well as soreness. Stress knots, rotator cuff soreness and Plantar fasciitis.

It will definitely help. I'd also try strengthening your shoulder blade muscles - there's some good ones in Bulletproof Your Shoulder. Good luck!

It reduced my shoulder pain. I have bursitis in my right side . An hour after I put it on it helped take off the pain from the burning throbbing pain in my right shoulder.

It seems to help what ever places it touches. I have a bad back, but it does not act like most bad backs. I bought it for my shoulder, but my back doesn't bother me when I have it on. Can't say what it will do for someone else.

My guess is that yes it will help. Sometimes you only need a little support to help maintain balance. I gHave had three back surgeries and a torn ACL and I keep mine in my car for those days I need a little assistance

Did not use if for should cuff. However, it was used on a shoulder that was injured with the top of the arm bone broken. My brother was impressed with how much better his pain was after using the light therapy. He had used ice and a heating pad but he felt the light therapy made a noticeable improvement. He is using it daily while his bone heals.

IMO this protein will not heal the tendon per se but with exercising the surrounding muscles, under guidance, you can improve the quality of your movements and try to live the best with this tear. Strengthening the adjoining muscles would also reduce the chances of aggravating the problem.Just eating whey protein, without exercising, will do close to nothing for your body.

I'd check out "Bulletproof Your Shoulder" if you want some good rotator cuff exercises. While the bodyblade has been shown to activate the shoulder muscles better than traditional exercises, there is no research showing the bodyblade results in greater strength increases in the shoulder muscles than traditional rehab exercises. Of course you will get more muscle activation in all the shoulder muscles with the bodyblade, that's simply because the joint is being shaken and is trying to stabilize itself - but this doesn't necessarily mean it will make the muscles any stronger than doing traditional shoulder/rotator cuff exercise with a dumbbell. Similarly, let's say you want to make your quads stronger. if I have you shake your leg, you will get more muscle activity in many more leg muscles than if you did the leg extension machine - but then shaking your leg won't make your quads specifically stronger than the progressive resistance exercise provided by the leg extension machine. Having said that, the bodyblade is a great tool, and I would use it (and similar devices) more to enhance dynamic stability of a joint, rather than to outright make a specific muscle group (such as your rotator cuff muscles) a lot stronger. And do keep in mind that what exercise you choose to do depends on your goals (joint stability vs general conditioning vs specific muscle group strengthening). More research will tell the tale - hope this helps.

Hi there! I actually purchased it for use as therapy on my shoulder injury from an auto accident. Good for both arms and legs. :-)

I know about rotator cuff tears and I think it would be too heavy. The weight is like most irons, and the motion of ironing may not be good for your injury. A tto ravel iron is alot lighter, I have used them too, i found travel ones are pretty light weight but find they dont hold up very long. I would recomend you going and checking several irons to see if the weight is a problem before buying any, you can get an idea of the weight of the lighter ones and then you know the weight you can tolerate before purchasing either on line or in store

Not that much. It kind of gives me a reminder to don't over do the motions that might worsen the muscle, which was my rotator cuff. Hope that helps. :D

Bobby- I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement. -Doug

Yes it does help with inflammation a little. It does help with pain, it hurts when to walk.

This brace is designed to provide stability for the shoulder. It works really well for someone who is recovering from a shoulder injury, because it keeps the shoulder in its socket. Since the scapula works in concert with the shoulder, I would say yes it does support the scapula (by supporting the shoulder). Hope that helps!
