Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Rotator cuff injury can cause severe discomfort and pain. Water therapy can provide only symptomatic relief. Permanent cure cannot be achieved using water therapy. The best treatment is arthroscopic repair and consult an orthopedic surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
