Don’t lift weights if you have a torn rotator cuff until you know it won’t hurt and that any muscle imbalances have been resolved.

Lifting weights adds tension to the rotator cuff tendons. And if they’re not healed yet, then it will hurt them more.

Once your rotator cuff tear is healing and feels better, then it would still be a good idea to wait on weight lifting like you used to because those exercises may have been setting up the rotator cuff tear.

Take some time to heal your rotator cuff and then to fix the muscle imbalance so that you can be sure to not to re-injure your rotator cuff again.

In this video Dr. David elaborates on answering the question, “Is it a good idea to lift weights with a torn rotator cuff?”

NOTE FROM TED: This talk, which was filmed at a TEDx event, contains assertions about treating depression based on the speaker’s own theory. While some viewers might find the prescriptions to be helpful, please do not look to this talk for medical advice. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf

Dr. Heitler discusses a treatment for situational depression (even when we don’t know it is situational!) WITHOUT psychopharmacology. Instead, she offers three prescriptions without pills, outlining these prescriptions using an example from her practice. She shows how investigating what makes us angry or upset can help us to re-empower ourselves, and our mental health.

Susan Heitler, Ph.D., a Harvard and NYU-educated clinical psychologist, writes a Psychology Today blog that has received over 7.5 million reads.
Dr. Heitler first earned recognition when her book From Conflict to Resolution brought understandings of collaborative conflict resolution from the world of legal and business mediation to the practice of psychotherapy.
Her Power of Two and Power of Two Workbook– published in six foreign language editions–plus her interactive marriage education website PowerOfTwoMarriage.com, teach the communication skills for marriage success.
Dr. Heitler’s most recent book and website combo, Prescriptions Without Pills, offers self-help versions of the techniques she uses in her clinical practice–techniques for relieving depression, anger, and anxiety plus strategies for sustaining well-being.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
