Hey Beast, good luck on this! I fear this is in my future. I've just recently been diagnosed with a small tear in my supraspinatus (same one as you). I've just had a PRP injection and will be doing therapy to aid the muscles surrounding. I'm hoping to avoid surgery this year if I can. I'm still doing my research on this I also do massage therapy and see a chiro once a week.
When I talked to my massage therapist, she said she has seen tears heal. But according to my sports med doc, he says that they do not heal on their own. I just don't want to make mine worse. All I know is that I got my PRP injection last Thursday, and this past Mon night got massage therapy and my shoulder felt tons better after. She really manipulated it. Hurt while she was doing it, but when all was done, I was so much better.
This is my first foray into shoulder issues (i'm 47yo, until Tues LOL). Have a knee issue i'm nursing, but thats just age and lack of cartilage.
Sounds like you have a very good work ethic and desire to take care of yourself. Just don't over do it.
Much luck to you, i'm sure you will recover 100% from this.
