Good that you have only partial tear.
Hope to see you get better!

After muscles are repaired, you need to break down scar tissues around joint.
Most of time, people have dysfunction in RC muscles and when they try to use shoulder, the exceed the load on muscles.
Your history showed us that when you raised your shoulder, you had a pain starting which suggest to me, that muscles that do opposites movements of shoulder raising is dysfunctional. As well as treating RC muscles, you need to check subscapuralis, teres major Lat, and lower trap. When they are dysfunctional, your raising shoulder movement is hinder and some muscles have to work hard than usual. That can exceed the capacity of loads on those muscle(which might be partially dysfunction) then injuries can occur.
Your injury is a result of your body's compensation. Also Upper extremity problem can be from compensation of lower kinetic chain.you need to see a body As a whole unit and treatment plan should be made accordingly.

Problems in manual medicines are facts that We tend to focus on treating Sites of pains. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Recurring of problems are suggesting that treatments plans are not done to address the TRUE CAUSE of problems. If treatment plan is made well and skill of docs is enough,you will get better in shortly and you will be surprised. Most of people who do amazing jobs said that we should not focus too much on pains as practitioners. Pains are there to tell you that something is wrong in that area or it might be referred pains. Doing HOT pack, Electric and taping sometimes are just stimulating me chano receptors so that it override pain signals. Patients feel better but pains come back. We need to stay away as much as we can from doing this type of therapy as main treatments.


I have seen so many cases that patients underwent Not well planned treatment and there have been no major change for years.
When i treated those people and spent 10-15min doing functional movement assessment and palpation, and treatment is done in 5-15min. (sometimes 20-30min if i am not good to find out what causes what)
Most of people see the dramatic change in functions as well as pain relief. usually takes 1-3 session of 5-10 min treatment. (it sounds too good to be true but we all can do the same.) Symptoms never come back. I also give a proper and easy specific stretch exercise as well as i recommend that they do Gyrotonics and pilatis. (i hate people coming back with the same problem)
Talking about pilatis and it focuses on CORE Muscles exercise. this should be done if all core muscles are function well but weak due to disuse of prolonged period.
When core muscles become dysfunctional, there will be compensation as i stated earlier in shoulder case.

People those in practice and school, there are so many things that we can learn outside of school and can make our treatment successful rate skyrokets.
Learning things in school is not Enough and people who just go through school will do midocre work. Schools teach foundations and let you get a license.
We need to additional extra work by ourselves(going to seminars, forming practice groups, keep up with current Research evidenced base practice, have mentors to guide you to become a better manual medicine practitioner, etc....)


I am saying this kind of things to open up minds of reader of this site, and hoping that some of people become better manual medicine practitioner and help those people who are not helped by other practitioners.
