Erika, I'm sorry for your loss. I read your daughters Facebook page and she seems like she was an amazing young woman and that she touched many lives. I hope time continues to bring you peace. Hugs to you today and always. Glad you got back to exercising. I'm still trying to convince myself to get started again.

1. I am not sure what a " manual " physical therapist is but it sounds illegal in Indiana.
2. I will have MRI results Monday, I am not going to have surgery period. No matter what the results show...period.
3. I need to strengthen my left rotator cuff ASAP Iam not sure how to begin.
1. a manual physical therapist is the kind of PT we should be seeing. not someone who merely throws exercises at us, then blames us if it doesn't work out.
2. never say never.....
3. start by finding a doctor to make sure nothing is torn. then a manual physical therapist to help it heal.
the exercise i did was to raise my arm to the side until it just hurt. increasing the number of times i could do it til it just hurt. then once i could do 20 at that level, raising it up a little higher, and repeating the process. til i could raise it up horizontal to the ground (90 degrees from the body). then repeated the whole process over again with a half pound weight. then again with one pound. then up to 2 lbs, for you up to 3 lbs may be better.
it took several months to get to that point. a whole month at least before i could use any weights.
this was the exercise my physiatrist gave me; she had been a PT before going back to med school. she really knew her stuff.
