Posterior Shoulder Instability Exercises Handout

Recovery time for a posterior shoulder dislocation varies but typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury and adherence to rehabilitation protocols.

To strengthen after a posterior shoulder dislocation, focus on gradual rehabilitation exercises that promote stability and range of motion, emphasizing posterior deltoid and rotator cuff strengthening.

Avoid exercises that excessively stress the shoulder blade or shoulder girdle musculature, such as overhead pressing, heavy lifting, and extreme external rotation, until cleared by a healthcare professional.
