Shoulder Dislocation Rehab
Structured rehabilitation after shoulder dislocation/ sublaxation, anterior shoulder stabilisation and Latarjet procedures.
Who This Is For
Athletes and active people with shoulder instability
For athletes and active individuals recovering from shoulder dislocation, instability, or shoulder stabilisation surgery who want a clear, structured pathway back to performance.
Why It Matters
Your Shoulder Needs More Than Just Time
Shoulder surgery repairs the structure, but rehab rebuilds the function. Without progressive strengthening and motor control work, many patients end up with a 'repaired but weak' shoulder that limits them long-term.
What Makes Us Different
Our Rehab Pathway
Protected Movement
Gentle range of motion exercises within safe limits set by your surgeon. Reduce pain and prevent stiffness.
Rebuild Control
Rotator cuff activation, scapular control, and postural work to create a stable base for your shoulder.
Progressive Strengthening
Gradual loading through full range. Push-ups, rows, overhead pressing — all progressed based on your capacity.
Return to Overhead Activity
Sport-specific or work-specific training — throwing, swimming, lifting, or whatever your shoulder needs to do.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Stretching aggressively too early and compromising the surgical repair
Not strengthening the rotator cuff and scapular muscles adequately
Returning to overhead sport without progressive loading
Relying on passive range of motion without building active strength
Timeline Expectations
Shoulder rehab typically ranges from 3–6 months depending on the procedure. Rotator cuff repairs may take longer to return to heavy overhead work. We follow your surgeon's protocol while pushing your capacity at every appropriate stage.
