Good question. Unless you have a complete and disabling tear, PT is always the best option. It is far better to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and tendons and other supporting muscles, than to undergo surgery. In many cases, PT is all that a patient needs and they recover completely. Surgery, remember, carries risks, such as a bleeding, infection, poor healing, worse pain, having to undergo additional surgery, anesthetic complications, and even death.
