Shoulder Tear Physiotherapy can decrease your
pain suffering

• A Shoulder Tear Injury is quite common and can be
  a result of injury to your arm or shoulder, a
  whiplash injury, excessive weight lifting over a
  long period of time, accidents, repetitive
  overhead movement of arms, injury while involved
  in contact sports or simple age related wear and
  tear.
• A shoulder tear, also known as Rotator Cuff Tear
  can be quite painful and lead the most mobile
  joint of the human body to immobility.

While the answer to a shoulder tear injury could
be surgery in case of severe damage to the
muscles and tendons that make the rotator cuff,
if the injury is not severe, Physiotherapy can
decrease your pain and suffering to a large
extent.
