Therapy for strength: You need to re engage normal strength and range of motion, otherwise you are looking at a lot of disability down the road.

Surgery likely next: Having failed physical therapy, tendon tears about the shoulder (rotator cuff tendon tears) will likely benefit from a surgical repair. A thorough evaluation by your orthopaedic surgeon will help delineate whether surgery is the best option in your particular case.
