Thankyou Mr Pysio+ for such clear and "easy to compehend" info and advice. Being far from where i live (about 2hrs away) i will try and find a physio closer for regular treatment. I can understand the treatment needed for the bursitis but i"m a bit scared about having anyone "work" on the shoulder out of fear that the tear may get bigger or worse. My thought was to not aggrevate it any further with further stretching and the like? Thanks again. Maria
