@pt_with_jt: ‼️Shoulder Dislocation Rehab Week 3‼️ Summary: It sucked😂 The amazing progress I had been seeing in the first two weeks was brought to a screeching halt with a new symptom that truly came out of nowhere: a localized sharp pain in my posterior shoulder that is aggravated in certain ranges of motion. This is most likely due to labral or joint capsule irritation the resulted from the traumatic dislocation. Because I still have have no pain and good strength activating the rotator cuff muscles, I’m not concerned about a major rotator cuff tear which is encouraging. So the plan will be to armor the shoulder joint with stability work within my pain-free range to ensure the labrum and joint capsule feel less threatened in those vulnerable positions which is what is causing the current pain. (Shoutout @21_logan) Calming the pain down and encouraging tissue healing will be done through resting it periodically, daily icing, and dry needling around the area (shoutout @courtneyalama) Welcome to the world of rehab. It’s not always easy, it throws curveballs at you when you least expect it, and it can be extremely frustrating and confusing. And this is coming from a physical therapist who helps people with this stuff for a living. Allow it to be frustrating for a bit but don’t live in that for too long if you can. Use that frustration as fuel to fully commit to your rehab, and just focus on the next thing you need to do and do it to the best of your ability #StackGoodDays #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapyworks #PTworks #physicaltherapyhumor #Fitness #fitnesstips #strength #strengthandconditioning #onlinestrengthcoach #onlinecoach #onlinehealthcoach #shoulderrehab #shoulderphysicaltherapy #shoulderphysicaltherapist #shoulderrehab #shoulders #shoulderrehab #shoulderdislocation #shoulderdislocationrehabilitation #shoulderdislocationrecovery #nonsurgical #nonsurgicaltreatment
