Recovery times for shoulder pain can vary widely depending on several factors, such as –

- Your body’s natural healing capacity – diet, sleep, hydration
- How diligently you follow your physiotherapist’s recommendations
While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, let us break it down for you:
- Minor Discomfort: pain caused by muscle soreness or a minor strain, you can expect to feel significant relief within a couple of days to a week.
- Moderate Strain or Sprain: For more moderate injuries, such as a strain or sprain, expect your recovery timeline to fall within 4-6 weeks.
- Tendonitis or Bursitis: Conditions like tendonitis or bursitis may require a longer recovery period, usually around 12-16 weeks.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries or Tears: For more severe injuries like rotator cuff tears, healing can take several months. Depending on the extent of the tear, your physiotherapist may recommend conservative treatment or collaborate with other medical professionals for a comprehensive recovery plan.
Remember, this journey is all about progress, not perfection. Each person’s body is unique, and recovery times can vary. The key is to stay patient, committed, and consistent throughout the healing process.
