I have been doing my cuff and scapula exercises diligently for the past three weeks and I have moved on from the red theraband to the green. My question is this, what constitutes a strong rotator cuff muscle group? I can perform a set of 60 repetitions with the green theraband for internal and external rotation as well as for my scapular exercises. Those who have been to therapy before will know what I am talking about while others are thinking I am from another planet. For those who are familiar with these exercises, at what level is the cuff considered strong? I still get a little bit of popping (both shoulders now since my RH has been taking up the slack for the left, and it was probably injured to a lesser degree as well from the get go) and some apprehension when raising and lowering my arm. I think my PT is going to release me to get back in the water when I see him this week but I am curious if I have done all I can do with my cuff strength. I plan on doing these exercises regulalry for as long as I continue to swim but how far do you go before you decide that PT is not going to solve your problem? Thanks for the input everybody.
