Note how your soreness started. List the motions that bring it on. Include any fall or sudden weakness.

Pack prior scans and notes listing your medicines. Add the exercises you've tried. Say whether they changed sleep or movement.

Choose one daily task you miss. It could be dressing or easy reaching. That'll give the exam a useful goal.

Check the office address before leaving. Roads get busy at different hours. You don't need traffic adding strain before the exam.

  1. In the MOON Shoulder prospective cohort of 452 patients with symptomatic, ATRAUMATIC full-thickness rotator cuff tears, physical therapy succeeded in more than 70% of patients at 10 years: only 115 (27.0%) had surgery at any point over the decade. Patient-reported outcomes improved with physical therapy and did NOT decline over 10 years in those who never had surgery. The strongest predictor of early surgery was low patient expectation of physical therapy, not tear anatomy.

Among its updates it clearly RESTRICTS the use of platelet-rich plasma and marrow stimulation in rotator cuff repair, limits prolotherapy in full-thickness tears, establishes CT as an adjunctive imaging modality, and endorses early mobilization after repair of small-to-medium tears.
