Shoulder pain doesn't always mean you've torn your rotator cuff... and it doesn't always mean you need surgery.

💪 In this episode of the Physical Therapy San Pedro Podcast, Dr. Ja'nae Brown is joined by Dr. Maile Bay and Dr. Silverton Nguyen to break down one of the most common injuries affecting athletes.

We cover:

🚩 Signs and symptoms you shouldn't ignore

🩻 What MRI findings really mean (and don't mean)

🏃‍♂️ When surgery is necessary—and when it isn't
