Thread: Rotator cuff tendinitis - rest or keep it active?

It's really difficult to find a consensus on whether one should rest their rotator cuff when it's inflamed and especially for how long. I guess it's sensible to rest for at least 5 days until the inflammation has gone down, but for how long should one really keep rotator cuff activity to a minimum? And at what point is it a good time to incorporate light band work and start strengthening the tendons?
