If you have undergone shoulder surgeries and if you are working hard initial days with exercises then probably you are not going anywhere!!
Shoulder injuries have been one of the most frequently seen in sports enthusiasts as well in others.
Shoulder dislocations and rotator cuff tear or injuries are most commonly seen in daily OPD.
Non-surgical intervention especially Physiotherapy is highly effective in most of the problems. But sometimes major injuries need surgical interventions like Arthroscopic surgeries which helps needy patients to get back to normal shoulder function.
We see most of our patients doing hard work to get the strength & Flexibility to achieve early normal functionality and early recovery. At the same time, every patient says that "Sirrr, I am working hard but it's not getting better, What wrong" Ayyoorama...
After some time either patient will start feeling negative about the recovery or they will start living with pain & mild disability. That negative thought may not make him back to his potential functionality, Isn't it ??
Physiotherapy intervention in shoulder injuries or post surgeries rehabilitation needs to be very precise and skillful. The physiotherapist works deliberately with each and every muscle & joint in and around the shoulder complex.
Every movement & muscles have their own specific role & responsibility in the functional activity. Re-training for those movement & muscle needs a specialized plan and execution in a specific manner and timely.
Why I specifically mentioned about the shoulder, because the shoulder is highly unstable and every movement is controlled by more than one specific muscle.
Many a time, we see some of our patients come back with either increased pain or worsening the scenario of shoulder function. That does happen when we start working hard with exercises initial days. Un-knowingly we try to intent early recovery by doing too many exercises or too many reps.
When the joint is operated or injured some of the tissue/muscles is not working appropriately and same time excessive exercises allow other muscles to compensate for the task and muscles functions start developing in the wrong way.
That's where we say OMG!!
Dear Friends with shoulder problems and post-operative stage, please do not try to work hard it not healthy always. Under the skillful Physiotherapist, guidance gets your shoulder function back to the best potential level and enjoy a healthy life.
Returning to sports after shoulder injuries need an integrated and comprehensive training of the joint.
