While it probably is not unsafe to perform rotator cuff exercises every day, the rotator cuff muscles, just as others in the body, require time to recover between exercise sessions.  Therefore, it is more ideal to limit  your rotator cuff exercises to a frequency between 3 and 5 days per week based on your individual needs and goals.
