Over a year ago i was diagnosed w/ a torn rotator cuff. pt was suggested but i never went. am i still able to do physical therapy even after a year?

Yes: Yes, you can still do physical therapy. Physical therapy can help with decreasing pain and restoring range of motion. They can help you learn exercises to do at home as well. Good luck and see the physical therapist.
