A member asked:
What to do if i have multidirectional shoulder instability (mdi) and i'mt aking physical therapy this friday. what should ie xpect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercises!: Multidirectional instability (mdi) of the shoulder is a condition that should initially be treated with a dedicated conservative physical therapy program. The goal is to strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint to provide dynamic stability to the joint, as the underlying problem in mdi is due to static ligamentous laxity. You should expect a lot of muscle strengthening exercises.
