Hi daniel,

I would strongly recommend seeing a physiotherapist for appropriate treatment following your dislocated shoulder. Exercises to improve shoulder blade stability, posture and Wikipedia reference-linkrotator cuff strength are particularly important to improve function and reduce the likelihood of future shoulder dislocation. Rotator cuff strengthening exercises tend to be the focus of rehabilitation. These are important whether or not you choose to go down the surgical pathway. You may be interested in checking out the above links for more detailed information.

Hope that helps and good luck with rehab,
