My ultrasound shows there's a partial thickness articular surface tear of the supraspinatus tendon messing 4x3x9mm. what's the best way to heal it?

Take it easy: Healing rotator cuff tears without surgery can be difficult. The tenets of conservative care are a structured physical therapy program, antiinflammatories for pain, and avoidance of any offending activities. Overhead work should be limited for up to 12 weeks.
