Title: Recovery After Shoulder Instability Repair: What Patients Can Expect.

 United States, 31st Jan 2026 - Shoulder instability can significantly affect daily life, limiting movement, strength, and confidence in the joint confidence. When conservative treatments are no longer effective, shoulder instability repair surgery may be recommended to restore stability and prevent recurrent dislocations. Understanding the recovery process can help patients prepare mentally and physically for a successful outcome.The Early Recovery Phase (Weeks 1–4)Immediately following shoulder instability repair, the primary focus is on protection and healing. Most patients will wear a sling to limit movement and allow the repaired tissues to heal properly. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are normal during this stage and are typically managed with prescribed medications, ice therapy, and rest.During the first few weeks, movement is carefully restricted. Gentle, guided physical therapy may begin early, focusing on passive range-of-motion exercises that help prevent stiffness without stressing the surgical repair. Patients are encouraged to follow post-operative instructions closely, as early overuse can compromise healing.Building Mobility and Strength (Weeks 4–12)As healing progresses, physical therapy becomes a central part of recovery. The sling is gradually discontinued, and therapy shifts toward active range-of-motion exercises, allowing patients to begin moving the shoulder under controlled conditions.Strengthening exercises are introduced slowly, targeting the rotator cuff and surrounding shoulder muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in stabilizing the joint and preventing future instability. Progress during this phase varies from patient to patient, depending on factors such as age, activity level, and the severity of the original...
