The torn muscles of the rotator cuff will not naturally repair themselves, so they will not actually be healed. Generally speaking, there are two results that can occur after a torn rotator cuff. Either it will stabilize, which will cause the symptoms to disappear, or it will get worse. The best hope is that the pain and immobility will get better with time. The two primary objectives of both therapy and surgery are alleviating pain and increasing mobility. Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear can be classified into two categories: minimal and grave. Minimal symptoms are characterized by a level of pain that is tolerable and by the return of function with time. These symptoms are certainly annoying but they will eventually go away and they won't hinder you for life.
