sometimes time is the key with RC tendonopathy. Assuming it isn’t torn, rest works pretty well even if it screws up training. PT can certainly help, but I see some patients who get worse, because they just continually aggravate the inflamed tendon. Anecdotes mean squat, but FWIW, mine took 10 months to heal to a point where I could even get on my aerobars…and then it was fine…no surgery, PT exercises just made it worse…complete rest finally did the trick.
