I have a client who has a torn rotator cuff but does not need surgery. She did go to physical therapy. ADVERTISEMENT 841 viewsFebruary 11, 2014 0 Heidi February 11, 2014 0 Comments I had her do rows and wall push-ups. She was interested in ab exercises – but wanted to “feel it more.” I want to be sure I’m not giving her exercises that will put her shoulder at risk but I want to be sure she feels the workout. 9 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 Sue0 Posted 0 Comments I would get clearance from her doc and an update from the PT she saw. Lower body work should be ok, squats, stepping, controlled cardio. Rows are generally ok along with bicep curls and triceps extensions.
