Recovery of any shoulder injury depends upon the factors which created the injury, if it was trauma then which all soft tissues got damaged and if it was ur action which led to this then needs biomechanical correction as well to avoid further trauma. Healing will be more if u go for PRP Prolotherapy and continue to tale physiotherapy

Hello
definitely physiotherapy will help you to recover that too without surgery.
If you really have mild tear, then physiotherapy is the only option unless it's a complete tear. complete tear may need surgery.
In my opinion you should consult a good n professional physiotherapist who will examine you thoroughly and then coustimise the physiotherapy protocol as per ur needs of sports. Once the pain is reduced, sports specific physiotherapy will be started.
and yes rotator cuff injuries do take some time to recover, but it recovers nicely by physiotherapy.
If any querry you can have direct consultation with me on practo.
Regards
