First post guys. Happy to be here. I'm also a new PT and will be here frequently as questions arise.

New patient 12 weeks post latar-jet repair for anterior Bankarts lesion. Patient is cleared to resume strengthening and surgeon wants the anterior capsule to begin to be stretched. As well as doing external rotation, scar tissue massage, general ROM, and manual release of the tight pec/ant delt/upper trap/biceps I was thinking of adding some anterior glides of the GH joint as well. Should I avoid this presently? The surgical protocol advises not stretching into the apprehensive position for 24 months, but there are no range restrictions and hes has resumed doing gentle strengthening.

Can I mobilize this shoulder? Or should I stick with other techniques at this time.

Thanks
