Specializes in Family Medicine

Absolutely: Swimming is excellent therapy for joint conditions, including shoulder dislocations, provided he is careful. It is never too late to swim, whihc is also great exercise. However, most aquatherapy is done in only three feet of water, so it is not necessary to know how to swim to benefit.
