Summary | Shoulder instability – remedy conservatively

Summary

Overall, shoulder instability is a very complex matter that must be treated individually for each patient. Depending on the type and cause of the instability, specific exercises must be chosen and others avoided in order to provide the best possible support for the damaged joint during the healing phase. Surgery is usually necessary when there is a serious injury or a tear of tendons and ligaments.

For rehabilitation or conservative treatment, it is very important that the patient, therapist and doctor work closely together so that an individual therapy plan can be drawn up that is precisely tailored to the problems of the individual patient. If the patient adheres to this therapy plan and also makes sure in everyday life that the shoulder is only exercised according to the instructions regarding loading and specific exercises, the chances of good development are significantly improved. If you find problems in yourself, do not try to treat them by self-diagnosis, as this may cause more damage and make the problems worse.
