Shoulder rehabilitation is a treatment approach that includes a combination of physical therapy and exercises to treat and heal injuries of the shoulder.

The shoulder is a joint with which many movements are possible, but it is also prone to injury. Shoulder injuries include shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff injuries, osteoarthritis, shoulder capsule stiffness (frozen shoulder), and acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries.

Shoulder rehabilitation is customized depending on the type and severity of the injury and the person’s overall health. A physical therapist or rehabilitation specialist evaluates the person’s condition and creates a treatment plan. This plan may include different treatment modalities such as exercises, manual therapy, and applications of ice or heat to reduce pain, increase the range of motion of the shoulder, restore muscle strength and flexibility, and prevent the recurrence of injuries.

Shoulder rehabilitation can also be used during the recovery period after surgery. Post-operative rehabilitation is customized to help the person regain mobility, depending on the severity of the injury and the type of surgery.

Shoulder rehabilitation is an important treatment approach for the treatment of shoulder injuries and can help a person regain shoulder mobility and return to normal daily activities.
