to the physio people out there..

got an inflamed rotator cuff.. been taking nurofen to help ease the pain and inflammation

just wondering are there any exercises to help with getting it healed faster?

thanks

As far as I know;
arm in sling and don’t use it. Also cycle some warmth on it - will help reduce inflammation (‘heat pack’ for 10min, allow to cool for 10) it’ll increase blood flow.

Diet, blah blah, antioxidants, lots of water.

You could do more damage!

Hmmmm - try and go before.

Find a sports one and they will understand your need to ride whilst injured
