Successful rehab from a partial pec tear?

Sir, surgery is the best way to go because the chances of not recovering full range of mobility and strength without it are greater. Not just any surgeon, choose a sports medicine Doctor.

I had four pins put in due to constant dislocation in my right shoulder. I tried three times with two general doctors over the course of 1.5 years prior to surgery to see if physical therapy would help. I decided to visit a sports medicine doctor whose specialty was shoulder and knee injuries. The sports doctor was amazed that I lasted as long as I did before demanding surgery because my shoulder was damaged more than what an MRI could show. I don't regret surgery because if I plan to stay in the service, I needed to decide on the route that would help me recover better without being on permanent profile.

Hope you have a quick recovery Sir. Next time on that bench, keep elbows in and don't let them flair out. Let the Triceps, Chest, legs and front delts do the work

I had a small tear in mine from the bench press as well. Mine did not warrant surgery. It was still painful and i had limited range and use of my shoulder. I was able to strengthen the muscles around it through 6-8 weeks of PT. It has ben healed for about 3 years now. I can however still press down and feel a bit of pain. I was told that is the fibrous tissues that heeled tightly.
