Useful manuscript

Rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: Current concepts review and evidence-based guidelines

The above links to the abstract for a great review article on the current ideas for treatment and recovery from the type of procedure I had. It should be a free article through PMC, but if there is trouble you can try this link, too, which is directly to the .pdf. The actual text includes pictures of many exercises, some of those I've discussed and some others. It also has an appendix table showing more-or-less when different phases of the rehab kick in. The nice thing is that for anyone reading this dealing with a slower recovery, due to age or complications, there is a timetable for a more conservative approach, as well.
