If you'd like to rehabilitate your torn rotator cuff (rotator cup) muscle and get back to playing tennis as soon as you can, then this Hub is for you.

After tearing my rotator cuff 4 times, I have learned to heal a torn rotator cuff at home with a simple cold pak (three times a day for 20 minutes each time) that you could buy (if you don’t already have one) at a local drugstore or supermarket.

I have learned how to use specific machines available at a local health club or gym to strengthen a torn rotator cuff (cup) in a couple of weeks.

I have figured out how you can strengthen your rotator cuff (cup) for free in 2 weeks using equipment you can find at a health club or gym. I will explain.

Two weeks is all I needed to rebuild my rotator cuff (cup) muscle group at my local Gold’s Gym the last time I injured my arm. I was already a member of Gold’s Gym so I didn’t spend any extra money, but it won’t cost you anything either because you can get a free 2 week membership to your local Gold’s Gym that includes three sessions with a trainer. I would guess that you could find a local gym or health club that offers a free trial membership if a Gold’s gym is not handy for you.

You could buy my report that shows pictures of the two machines I used at the gym and explains how I used them. OR if you don’t choose to get my report, you could ask a Health Club or Gym Trainer for recommendations.

I have had a rotator-cuff injury 4 times in my tennis career as a result of off-court activities. Each time I was not able to lift a small empty glass or cup with my tennis arm and move it from the kitchen counter top to the cupboard above without grasping my tennis arm at the wrist with my other hand and doing the "heavy lifting" with the other arm.

Each time I rehabilitated my rotator cuff quickly. I used simple ice packs and the first three times I strengthened my rotator cuff only using a dumbell. After my last injury, I rested my arm for a few days and decided to try to speed my recovery by also using equipment at my local gym. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick results

I was back playing at 100% three weeks after I had injured my arm. I had fallen and landed on my upper arm on the edge of a concrete curb. My arm was useless. I had to use my other arm (left) to shift the gear lever on my automatic transmission to drive home. I wasn't able to lift an empty glass without using my other arm to assist.

I have learned from these experiences how to quickly deal with a debilitating rotator cuff (cup) injury and return to playing tennis quickly. This last time I was back playing tennis in a matter of 3 weeks: not just hitting the ball around, but playing as well as I did before my rotator cuff (cup) injury.

Don’t ask the Trainer at the gym or health club what equipment you should use and how you should use it to rehabilitate your rotator cuff. Trainers are not allowed to give medical advice. They are usually not licensed physical therapists either. They will show you where a particular piece of equipment is located, and show you how to use it. Ask a Trainer to show you equipment you can use to strengthen your rotator cuff (cup): don’t ask her/him to help you rehabilitate your rotator cuff (cup).
