It depends: It depends on which phase of healing he is in and whether is was anteriorly dislocated (most common) or posteriorly dislocated. http://www.drhearon.com/documents/PT%20Protocols/Shoulder%20-%20Nonoperative/R1%20-%20Acute%20GHJ%20Dislocation.pdf http://mhmg.memorialhermann.org/uploadedFiles/_Library_Files/Medical_Group/PT/pt_ant_conservative.pdf
