The rotator cuff (RTC), at times mistakenly called the "rotatory cup," is a group of four muscles that stabilize the shoulder and enable a wide variety of movement.

When it comes to RTC injuries, regardless of the severity, physical therapists play an integral part in helping patients reach their therapeutic goals.

Check out our video to see a few, fun facts about RTC physical therapy!

Runner Annisa Kumerow knew she wanted to return to running after she had her baby, but after nine months of pregnancy and a c-section, she wasn't sure how her body would handle the return. With hormone, life and body changes, she was fearful that just jumping back into running could make her condition worse, or hurt her ability to run in the future.

Annisa soon learned that it was more than just running, or training to run; it was about addressing areas of weakness, even ones she had prior to pregnancy.

"Previously, I had only felt 'strong' when I was running, but the core exercises and strengthening my clinician had me do were challenging enough that I really felt like my fitness was improving even beyond where I was pre-pregnancy," Annisa said.

Annisa's goal with physical therapy was to return to running and hopefully run a half-marathon. While she was able to meet those goals - running again at five months postpartum and running a half-marathon five months later, she achieved much more than that.

"I was absolutely terrible at doing any kind of strength, core or stretching (exercises) before, and my treatment really helped teach me the importance of those," Annisa shared. "I also had NO IDEA how to relax my pelvic floor before. Being able to learn to control a part of my body that had always been tense was a game changer."

It wasn't easy for Annisa to get up and make it to pelvic floor physical therapy. Affected by postpartum depression and anxiety, Annisa worked with CoreVia Physical Therapist Alex Baran, who was able to encourage and listen to her as she worked through the mood disorders in addition to completing physical therapy.

Now, Annisa is expecting her second child and looks forward to incorporating what she learned in physical therapy at home, but she also knows who to turn to for postpartum.

Kate Young is a dancer, not only competitively in school but in Owensboro Dance Theatre's company. When she tore her ACL and meniscus playing soccer during field day, she had to take a step back.

When Kate started physical therapy, she couldn't walk without crutches, let alone do the leaps and jumps needed for dance. Her knee could not bend beyond 90 degrees, and she could barely get out of bed. That didn't stop her from getting up and using crutches to get to physical therapy.

Her goals for physical therapy were ambitious; she wanted to get her leaps and jumps back to what they were before injury and keep her legs as straight as possible. Kate worked closely with Physical Therapist Susan Litzinger, finding support on her hardest days.

Soon, Kate was walking again and able to test her jumps. After talking to her doctor, he was confident she could return to dancing.

"The fact that I was not able to get out of bed six months ago is crazy to me," Kate said. "I have come so far."

Last weekend, Kate laced up her pointe shoes and taking the stage as Marie (also known as Clara) in "The Nutcracker." She has been seen on the cover of Owensboro Living all over the city. We are proud to be such a pivotal part of Kate's recovery.
