Rotator cuff injury

2017-05-01 01:00:23
Injured my left rotator cuff years ago while lifting weights. The pain only arises when I put a lot of strain on it while lifting weights repeatedly. Who do I see to get it treated. A physical therapist or a shoulder specialist? Or will the shoulder specialist just send me to a physical therapist? Thanks
