Physical Therapy For Shoulder Pain

Arthur Said:

how long after a dislocated shoulder should i wait to go to physical therapy?

We Answered:

The idea that people should wait until their injuries are practically chronic before going to physical therapy is old school and wrong (especially for soft tissue injuries). When you are injured, your body starts laying down repair tissue. It can lay down repair tissue in a pattern that binds you up and makes your shoulder not work as well in the future. Or you body can lay down repair tissue in a way that works with the proper movement of your joints. Our bodies have only one blueprint for how this repair tissue will lay down - movement.

Look to physical therapy as soon as possible after injuries. Sometimes they will have ways of introducing safe, pain free movement that will maximize the results of your healing process. They may also have strategies and techniques that speed your healing. In general, it is best to let your physical therapist be the one to tell you when to do what physical therapy things.
