Summary | Physiotherapy after shoulder surgery

Summary

Overall, an injury to the shoulder joint is a relatively lengthy process that requires a great deal of patient cooperation and discipline. However, if physiotherapy and rules are followed consistently, the shoulder can normally heal without any problems and full resilience can be achieved again. It is important that the patient does not overstrain the operated shoulder and, if necessary, prefers to be helped in everyday life rather than risking renewed injury or complications in the healing process.

It is important that you as a patient feel that you are in good hands with your therapist so that you can successfully master the rehabilitation together. Through close contact between patient, doctor and therapist, the best possible therapy for the individual can usually be achieved, so that normally after 3-6 months a complete healing or restoration of the joint is achieved and everyday life and sports activities are possible again without problems.
