physiotherapy after shoulder dislocation

[Canuck Physio]

Hmm... Self management I dunno in this case,

Part of what physiotherapists do is facilitate correct movement, this may be via positioning the scapula in the correct position, or stretching shortened muscles, and positioning weak ones in an optimum position for activation.

When it comes down to it people use a GP to manage any physical condition and they continue to see the GP until the problem has run its course. I feel the best course of action is personalized physiotherapy, hands on, .

Definitely consult a physio or sports therapist...someone who is used to treating this type of injury. Good intervention and a thorough rehab program, with careful monitoring of specific movts / compensatios that you may adopt are extremely important in getting the best outcome.

I would not recommend trying to manage your own shoulder alone. Even as a physio I would get someone else to monitor my progress / aid me in getting correct positioning etc...

Good luck
