Once healed, check out Essentrics.com which is a stretching program (developed by an injured ballerina 25 years ago). With the loss of 2 rotator cuffs, I was told I’d never raise my hand above my head. After PT and doing Essentrics, I can easily raise my hand above my head without pain. Not sure I’m allowed to plug this but it helped me a great deal. Oh yeah, I can swim doing the crawl which they also I wouldn’t be able to do.

That is interesting Somewhere, I will go check that out.

I have a 71 year old woman friend who had shoulder surgery and honestly she is not all that much better. And she followed all the exercizes. I'll go check out Essentrics, thanks.

It helped me a great deal. I attended one of her retreats so I could thank her in person.
