I would look around for some cuff stretches on the internet. I printed out a bunch and it is helpful. That and icing seemed to help a lot. I am not a heavy weight lifting guy. Any exercise I do is tossing feed sacks, working cows, throwing sheep and stuff like that so I am not hitting the gym but in the last few years I have really learned the lessons of stretching. Sure, it takes nagging injuries for me to realize that I need to stretch that muscle group too but hey, I guess I'm a slow learner.

Generally the saying is that if you can raise your hands over your head with a straight elbow and the fingers pointing at the sky your shoulder isn't torn yet. Just don't overwork the dang thing. I noticed pain if I used my left arm to push a heavy gate closed. jus that full extension with resistance...Ouch.
