I also noticed weakness in the right compared to the left. I've been able to strengthen the muscles around it through working out with emphasis on shoulder and rotator cuff exercises - these can be found on Google.
If you are right arm dominant, I definitely recommend spending the bit of cash on your repairing such an important joint/muscle.

This. Physio isn't about pain management but rather it's about getting the injured area back as close to 100% as you can get it.
I sprained my wrist a few years back. It was my 4th or 5th so I figured I knew my body and skipped rehab. A week after the pain subsided I decided to play hockey and low and behold I re-injure the same wrist and it was much worse. During my 2 months of physio visits it was minimal therapy but more strength exercises to not just reverse the damage but strengthen the area so I was less susceptible to the injury. Even after 2 weeks I was pretty wary of getting out on the ice but once I did I was sure glad I took the time to rehab right.
