How can brief daily breathwork help in recovery from injury or surgery? First, sighing and other breathing exercises promote relaxation, which decreases muscle tension, anxiety and pain perception. Taking just 5 minutes for a focused breathing session in the morning and evening allows the body to shift out of stressed “fight or flight” mode and into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state. This enhances the effects of physical therapy treatment.

The rotator cuff is a crucial component of the shoulder that allows it to function. It connects the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula) with four muscles, each of which has a tendon that attaches to different parts of the scapula. These tendons form a “cuff” around the head of the humerus, and all the muscles work together to control and stabilize the shoulder.
But when any of the tendons of the rotator cuff becomes injured or torn, the tendon becomes detached from the head of the humerus, and the injury is called a rotator cuff tear.
