to all you physio experts...

How do you heal a pair of sore rotator cuffs on a 50 year old squash player, who is otherwise in great shape?

I'm hoping there are some experts out there who have an opinion on the matter .

Thats a detailed question that can't be answered 100% by the internet.

You need an evaluation by a competant therapist so you don't waste your time doing the wrong exercises.

Some simple things you can try are stretching the internal rotation muscles: pecs, ant. delt, lats, subscap & strengthening the external rotators: Teres mimor & infraspinatus

This should help re-align the should joint, you may need to lay off benching, pulldowns, front & side DB raises & overhead pressing. Very hard to tell without an exam.

Get the book "7-minute rotator cuff solution" by Jerry Robinson this will give you more details and it outlines programs and gives pictures/ descriptions of all the stretches & exercises


hope this helped
