A look into a mid to late stage rehab session after a traumatic shoulder dislocation.

If you are looking to return to sport or doing anything overhead, just banded strengthening and stretching isn’t going to cut it.

Challenge end ranges.

Challenge rotation.

Challenge the ability of the arm to be pulled away from your body.

Challenge the ability to put weight through it at multiple angles.

‼️Don’t ditch the movement pattern entirely.

That is a one-way ticket to under loading your quads and leading towards more deconditioning and lack of capacity.

Instead, try variations that allow you to keep your center of mass well behind the knee while still emphasizing knee extension more than hip extension.

AKA avoid just hip hinging all your squat movements.

Each of these variations can be super helpful and can be progressively loaded over time to become more challenging.

Shoulder pain every time you press even though most other things feel fine?

That’s usually a sign your shoulder isn’t handling the force the way it should, not that it’s broken.

When pressing hurts, most people assume the fix is more open-chain work like bands or light dumbbells.

But an often missed component is working on closed-chain stability to drive better recruitment of the entire shoulder girdle including the muscles around your shoulder blade and ribcage.

Think plank variations, wall walks, or controlled bear progressions. These build the foundation your shoulder needs to tolerate load again safely and with confidence.

These examples are great starting points to build from.

If you’ve experienced pain intensely or for a long time, you’ve likely wondered if you need an MRI.

While I won’t tell you whether you should or shouldn’t get one—that depends on your specific situation.

I want to emphasize that an MRI is just one piece of the puzzle.

It’s a data point to consider in your overall plan.

Positive findings don’t automatically mean you need surgery or that they’re the true source of your pain.

The reality is more complex.

You say you want to get stronger to get out of pain?

That’s cool and worthwhile.

But what if the pain goes away? Would you stop training? If so, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

What if the pain doesn’t go away? Would you stop training? If so, you still are leaving a lot on the table

There are many strategies and approaches to addressing pain, but continuing to train however you can needs to be a non-negotiable.

The quality of your life depends on it.
