Physical therapy: Physical therapy is usually prescribed after stabilization surgery. Initially simple passive motion is allowed followed by active assisted range of motion, then active range of motion, and then strengthening out past 2-3 months.

Unstable Shoulder: http://www.theshouldercenter.com/unstable-shoulder.htm will give you more information. http://www.theshouldercenter.com/arthroscopic-rotator-cuff-repair_after-surgery-after-pillow.htm also shows our preferred supine stretching program. The basic tenets are to gain motion back supine to protect repaired tissue and maximize patient comfort.
