We recommend consulting a musculoskeletal physiotherapist to ensure exercises are best suited to your recovery. If you are carrying out an exercise regime without consulting a healthcare professional, you do so at your own risk. If you have any concerns whilst completing these exercises, please contact a healthcare professional.
This is the next progression. More focus is given to progressive loading of the shoulder through range and general upper limb strengthening. Gradually increasing muscle strength as well as activities with the involved arm while maintaining a reduced level of pain. This should not exceed more than 4/10 on your perceived pain scale.
This programme is a further progression with challenging progressive loading of the shoulder muscles, as well as the scapula and postural muscles. Goals at this stage are to return muscle strength and endurance to preinjury levels with a continued gradual increase in functional activity. This should not exceed any more than 4/10 on your perceived pain scale.
