Rotator Cuff Rehabilitation & Clinical Decision Making | PRO+ Sports Medicine Faculty Roundtable

How should clinicians approach rotator cuff rehabilitation, exercise progression, loading, and return to function? Join the PRO+ Sports Medicine Education faculty for an in-depth clinical discussion on rotator cuff rehabilitation and the management of patients and athletes with rotator cuff-related shoulder conditions. In this faculty roundtable, we discuss how examination findings, symptoms, strength, tissue capacity, functional demands, and patient goals can guide exercise selection and rehabilitation progression. Topics discussed include: • Rotator cuff rehabilitation principles • Rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy • Exercise selection and progression • Strengthening the rotator cuff • Shoulder loading and tissue capacity • Scapular and shoulder rehabilitation • Managing pain during rehabilitation • Criteria-based exercise progression • Strength and functional testing • Return to activity and return to sport • Rehabilitation of the overhead athlete • Clinical decision-making in shoulder rehabilitation This discussion is intended for physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medicine clinicians, strength and conditioning professionals, and students interested in evidence-informed shoulder rehabilitation.
