What We Treat — South Surrey, BC

Rotator Cuff Surgery Rehab

Rotator cuff repairs need carefully staged rehab: the repaired tendon must be protected while it heals, then progressively loaded to rebuild strength.

What it is

Understanding rotator cuff surgery rehab

Rotator cuff repairs need carefully staged rehab: the repaired tendon must be protected while it heals, then progressively loaded to rebuild strength. Getting the pacing right is everything.

Common symptoms

  • Post-surgical pain and guarded movement
  • Significant early loss of shoulder range
  • Weakness lifting the arm
  • Night discomfort during early recovery
  • Stiffness through the healing phases

Common causes

  • Recent rotator cuff repair surgery
  • Tendon healing timelines that limit early loading
  • Post-operative immobilization
  • Pre-existing shoulder weakness

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

We coordinate with your surgeon's protocol through each phase: protected passive motion early, active movement as healing allows, then progressive cuff and shoulder-blade strengthening. Rushing this rehab risks the repair; going too slow costs you months — our job is keeping you exactly on curve.
