Treatment varies with severity of injury , in complete tear surgery is the right way to go ahead. Incomplete tear needs supervised physiotherapy sessions for 6 months 2-3times per week.
Next Steps
Understand th extent of injury with MRI
Health Tips
avoid overhead shoulder movement  in gym keep it below 90 degree
