The successful outcome of a shoulder surgery is as much dependent on the surgery itself as it is on the rehab protocol. The surgeon, his medical staff and the physical therapy team must work together to discuss the patient's medical history, review surgical findings and procedures, and establish the rehabilitation guidelines. This communication continues throughout the recovery process and is an essential component in ensuring a successful outcome.
The following video will take you through several aspects of the process of shoulder rehabilitation. Various treatments are discussed and several exercises are shown.
