The rotator cuff is the group of muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder. Strains, tendinopathy and tears cause pain with reaching, lifting and lying on the shoulder. Physiotherapy at Eastgate restores strength and movement, and many tears are managed successfully without surgery.

Satish Pandya is a Registered Physiotherapist and the clinical lead at Eastgate. His approach starts with a thorough assessment and a plain-language explanation of what is driving your symptoms, followed by a plan built around your goals. He uses IMS, manual therapy and progressive exercise as the core of most treatment plans.
Many partial and some full tears do well with rehabilitation. Surgery is considered for larger or traumatic tears or when rehab has not helped.
Lying on the shoulder compresses the tendons; sleeping with the arm supported on a pillow often helps.
Tendinopathy typically improves over 8 to 12 weeks; post-surgical recovery takes several months.
Repetitive overhead work or sport, sudden loads such as a fall, and age-related tendon wear are the main causes. Poor shoulder-blade control often contributes.
A progressive loading program is the core of treatment, supported by manual therapy, IMS for surrounding muscles and shoulder-blade retraining. If surgery is needed, we provide pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.
