Top 3 Strengthening Exercises After Shoulder Dislocation 

whomever made your intro song needs a damn record deal. That song is flames

Love the contribution you guys offer to the world. I have used lots of your advice to heal faster and at a lower cost than what would have been without you. Your duo dynamic is fun and playful and helpful. A big thank you from me to you. You are positively impacting the world with your efforts and this my recognition of you. Good work guys. Appreciation and gratitude for your contribution. Thank you.

I really love the way both of you presented a very brilliant presentation that has really helped me from the dislocation i had from a car accident. I Think both you did a very good job but Brad was my favorite presenter because of the way he always brought in harmony to the conversation.

Thank you so much! You guys are amazing! This is by far the most informative (and best presented) videos on this subject I've ever seen. Thanks for including ways to self -correct positioning with the small towel. You guys rock!

You guys are so informative and helpful! Thank you so much! I have healed from a lot of little injuries with your help!

Awesome thank you two so much. Consistently mentioning the # of sets/reps along with the # of weeks to work at each exercise is extremely helpful! You guys do really work well together, keep it up!

You guys are AWESOME!!! So much more clarifying than the three orthopedists and 2 physiotherapist I've had consultations with! God bless ya guys!

I really appreciate you fellas. I found all your videos informative and helpful. Keep up the great work I'm sure you are helping plenty of people worldwide.

God bless you both for showing these exercises

Thank you Hi cuzin dislocated his shoulder and I was hoping there would be a video of you guys talking about exercises and so glad I found it you guys are the best and that it’s not just the opinion that is fact God bless both of you hope you guys always stay good friends and brothers

Wow, thanks so much. I dislocated my shoulder, and my former doctor had me do the exercises which caused my injured shoulder to push forward...obviously the wrong exercises to do...Thank you for showing me the correct ones

These vids which a have saved to my account are amazing and have given me much more info than i got from I went through 8 years of my shoulder popping out for the simplest movement.My son was 4 when it started and i missed 8 yrs of been able to pick him up and throw him around, as we do with our kids. I had taught him to swim before an we would go the pool, which is basically next door to our home and have amazing fun with him on my shoulders an then jumping off. FFW 8 yrs and a minimum of 30 dislocations before i could no longer keep up, i had 3 anchors placed in and the Physical Therapy was so slow and going nowhere in a hurry so i packed it in. A year later ( THE LONGEST I'D GONE IN 8 YRS WITHOUT DISLOCATING ),I NOTICED WHEN I MADE CERTAIN MOVEMENTS I WOULD GET WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS SOMETHING LIKE A STING WHICH I CAN TELL IS MY MOVEMENT AND THE "ANCHORS", DISAGREEING ON MY RANGE OF MOTION. I have done the strengthening exercises connected to this injury in your videos and have for the 1st time ever, solid muscles in and around my shoulders, even taking care to work the smaller muscles. Now i need to focus on full movement. I know i could once again skip a stone across the water, although my confidence is grown rapidly, i'm not quite there yet. SO THE SHORT TIME I'VE BEEN USING YOUR VIDS I HAVE MADE AMAZING IMPROVEMENTS AND I AM SO ABSOLUTELY GRATEFUL. SO TNX A LOT AND GOD BLESS FROM DUBLIN, IRELAND.

I’ve dislocated my right shoulder 4 times and my left 3 times! The pain is unreal!

I cant wait to try this.. thank you so much. I have dislocated my left shoulder as a kid from the ages 3-6 maybe over 15 times from what I know, but could be more than that. It got so bad to the point where one of my day care teachers (which was my grandma) would stop calling the paramedics and ended up popping my shoulder back in place multiple times through out the years. I have never in my life done physical therapy for my left shoulder even though it has dislocated too many times and I've always noticed it didn't feel like it sat right compared to my right shoulder, the irritation in it that goes up my neck/trap, and the weakness in it when I started weight lifting. I am 27 years old and every day I feel this discomfort and feeling that I have to adjust my shoulder every few minutes through out my everyday activities, even worse when I go lift. But thanks again for this video.

Hi. Thanks for a great video. Just dislocated 2. Time so this will be very useful when I start rehab with my physiotherapist. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you. Very informative video. You guys have great chemistry. This could be the basis for a sit com.

Thanks so much for the response! Could you also do a video on scapular mobilization exercises? Just in case u r wondering, I'm an OT... I like the simplicity and knowledge you share that helps any therapist and/or general public. Thanks again!

These have helped a lot. Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS

thank you very informative information

Just subscribed with my dislocated hand..lol.. thanks a lot

Super informative and enjoyable to watch, subscribed and gonna check out more. Thanks you guys.

That first exercise has just given me so much relief after a few rounds. Im seems I'm learning that this is my problem, Ive gone through scapula and neck etc but this is working well right now.

Nice video! Have a few questions: 1. How many sets of each exercise should one do? 2. How hard must one push in the first 3 wall pushing exercises? Does it have to be difficult to hold until the count of 10 or not really? Looking forward to your reply. Keep up the good work:)

Thanks for the vid! Waiting strongly for the advice video on surgery or not, I've been told not to because of my flexibility and been told to do because of my flexibility. Me personally would rather not but I'm now taking it slow because I'm only now starting physical therapy.

Thanks again guys this is really good for me always really good info and of cource the wit thanks from down under

thank you for your usefull information you help me a alot

Thank you guys! I dislocated my shoulder and now I'm following your exercises to get it moving again, and they are really great.

most effective lesons desr sirs..appreciated and learnt thank you

great video. thank you gentlemen.

Sir your videos are amazing.. thank you..I'm also a physiotherapist from India.

Hi! Love you guys! Question- I’m 40 and have RA. Aside from my hands and toes, I’ve had a ton of shoulder pain for over a year now. My rheumatologist said that I have hyper flexible joints which is making my shoulder unstable. They gave me pain meds but no advice for any way to solve the problem. Would these types of exercises be appropriate for me? I’d love to get some relief without relying on meds. Thank you! You guys are a crack up 😊

Thank you!

For many years , i've suffered from shoulder dislocations, 3-5 mins. It just normally goes back to its original place. Too painful, but try to relax little by little then it should go back in place

selute you sir. Thank you. by video i have got good information

great work sirs

My patient is hemplegic plus subluxed shoulder . Its making things complicated thanks for video.

I have had two surgeries on my left shoulder. It was good for about 10 years but recently I have had 4 dislocations in 3 months. I don't want another surgery so I am going to try and rehab it. I hope its not to far gone. Thanks for the video.

I HAVE DISLOCATED MY SHOULDER 4 TIMES IN THIS LIFE. THE FIRST TIME I DID IT I WAS 11. AND THE LAST TIME I DISLOCATED MY SHOULDER I WAS ABOUT 63. IM 67 NOW. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO ARM EXERCISES NOW TO TRY AND KEEP MY BAD ARM STRONGER. I DO ARM EXERCISES EVERY DAY. IT ONLY TAKES A MATTER OF SECONDS. IM GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO. NOW I CAN DO MORE ARM EXERCISES FOR MY BAD ARM. IM VERY VERY CAUTIOUS NOW ABOUT HOW I GO ABOUT DOING ANYTHING WITH MY BAD ARM. I TAKE THINGS SLOWER AND TRY TO REMEMBER NOT TO THROW MY ARM UP HIGH INTO THE AIR FAST. IF I GO SWIMMING I ONLY DO BREAST STROKE AND NOT OVER ARM SWIMMING. I FEEL NO PAIN IN MY BAD ARM UNLESS I LAY ON IT OR PUT IT IN A POSITION IT DOESNT LIKE TO BE IN. THE ARM EXERCISE I DO IS WITH AN ELASTIC TYPE BAND WITH HANDLES. I DOUBLE IT OVER AND I PULL IT OUTWARDS SLOWLY WITH MY BAD ARM. I DO IT ABOUT 9 TIMES PER DAY.

Thank you sir. Thank you very much

Thank you

They even added a bonus! these guys are great ^_^

Thanks

Hi Bob ans Brad. Your intro is the killer. Btw, how many sets should we do this? I know the repetition is 10, but for how many sets and how many times a day? Thank you.

From nairobi kenya..thanks.

These guys are great

You guys get a like just for the intro song. Video was great, but that song is fabulous.

would like to see a segment on posterior capsular stretches of the shoulder...

Thank you so much!. Your suggestions worked for me. I had begun having sore arm with sharp pains in the shoulder area from sleeping in a position I have slept in for decades. I am age 64. It took me about two weeks to figure out it might be something related to dislocation. The first day I did the isometrics and noticed a difference right away. The next day I could go to the band stretching. I do the band stretching several times a day now increasing the difficulty. I have to say that with the addition of a big pillow to hug I can now sleep on my side which is the only way I can sleep. As we all know "the Internet is always right". Thank you for your part in providing a gem of truth to that statement.

guys you are my savior

Thanks !!!

Thanks sir

Hi, I'm a 67 year old female that started lifting weights. I had pain in my left shoulder and had an x-ray that showed Hill-Sachs Lesion. The thing is, I have never had a shoulder dislocation.

Would you recommend doing these exercises before lifting weights? After lifting weights? or on a day when we don't lift weights?

Thanks for sharing this. Due to COVID-19 I am unable to see physiotherapist. I dislocated my shoulder in mid - feb and wanted to go back to normal strength and I was a bit scared but now after watching your video I'll feel bit confident. I play cricket, fast bowler and mid order batsmen. With recent shoulder dislocation (I think this was 5th time after a gap of 7 years or so) I felt a bit low as I really wanted to go back to playing cricket. As we are in lockdown and wont have games for few months, I can take this opportunity to strength my muscles. I dont have much pain but dont feel confident in doing Y's or T's as this is where I dislocated my shoulder while doing indoor sky dive. I would really appreciate any suggestions and things to watch out. Great video, loved the team work. Thanks heaps, I'll try these exercises out and comment back here on my progress! Cheers

helped a lot!!!!!!😄😄😄

I have multi directional capsular instability. What are best exercises to help improve stability? Thanks!

I did the T exercise with 1 pound, the last rep i had difficulties and dislocated myself again...

Great video. Is it normal for the pain to come back 5 years later? I play basketball a lot and lately it’s been hurting to shoot. It hurts to even put my hand straight up over my head.

im asking about the scapula dislocation any exercises to strengthen .. thank you ..

Dislocated my shoulder the first time like 14 years ago...since then my right shoulder is prone to dislocation, it's less likely now but I still felt the weakness .

Dear doctors thank you so much for the information, regarding these exercises, do we have to go to failure or 2 reps before failure? And how many reps a week roughly, per exercise?

Dislocated my left shoulder again, been 9 years since I've had surgery on it. I was able to put it in place really quickly. Should I just stick to doing these workouts everyday from now on?

The intro made me subscribe

How long after the injury should I start doing these exercises

great video! Could you do a video showing exercises for a non-union fracture of the sesamoid bone in the foot?

If you had an anterior shoulder dislocation should you be more focused on just strengthening the anterior area?

I have suffered shoulder dislocation for more than 12 years, I sustained this injury when playing a football. Now am 28, I need to get my shoulder in place

Thank you! I am a massage therapist and having different exercises helps. I can’t have it happen again, my upper body is my livelihood! Strengthening the muscles is an important part of rehab and preventative care!

I just dislocated my shoulder. I will start attending PT sessions because I got a re-occurrence and hadn't had any PT on my shoulder prior to that. I am just wondering if these exercises are enough or is PT recommended prior? Thanks!

Thanks for the video every time my shoulder gets dislocated I feel I am reborn.Hope to get my shoulder strengthened with this exercises. Thanks a ton

Bob, Brad. My MRI shows that I have congenital sulcus in my left hip joint. It is causing a great deal of discomfort. What should I do!?

I dislocated my shoulder 2 months ago and after a while, it was fine. Until yesterday, during football practice I dislocated it again. Do you think I should do surgery? Is it worth it to do surgery at the age of 16 or should I just let this one heal and really do a lot of physical therapy and try to get the muscles stronger?

i have got a posterior dislocation and I fixed it using the arm-to-wall technique ... please suggest specific workouts for it ..

Brads winging it like a school project

my shoulder keep on hurting because it was dislocated, and one day I accidentally fix it by just quickly pulling down and just heard the crack then feel very relax that I can move it freely without any pain. So I wanna learn how to strengthen and to prevent on dislocating again. And also I wanna know the reason why my shoulder became so easily to discolate this days.

Hi. How often should i perform the first exercise?

Can I possibly do the in and outs with light dumbbells instead of the stretch band? Also with the Flexion is my thumb facing forward or it facing towards my side. I feel like the positioning of the hand is important.

How soon after shoulder dislocation I can start doing those exercises? Can I do them if I'm still in a lot of pain? Thank you

Doctor how many weeks later after surgery,I can do these excersise??

They are close to 1m subs!

I had a mild dislocation of my shoulder from working out, I've been doing some movement excercises, can I do the first set of excercises with the wall for a week or so and go back in the gym? it's been 2 weeks on Thursday. how long do you suggest to keep out of the gym or any physical activity with the shoulder?

@bob&brad Ive 2 hill sachs lesions on my left shoulder is there any exercises to strengthen them up

I am a strength trainer so I am very familiar with these exercises my question is,, my father is 81 years old but fairly healthy, he fell yesterday 8/17/16 and dislocated his shoulder. should he wait two to three weeks before starting these exercises keeping his arm in a sling. or can he start after a week removing the sling then putting it back on.

Is there any excercise to help axillary nerve pulsy??

how long should i do these workouts before playing basketball again?

HAD A STROKE AND MY ARM HAS DRROPED FROM MY SSHOULDER /ARE THESE EXCISES GOOD FOR THIS

How much time do you need to wear a slung after a shoulder dislocation? Or after how many days you need to remove slung?

Hi Bob & Brad, thank you both for such amazing videos. I recently had my left shoulder dislocated, I went to the ER and they placed the shoulder back. I wore the sling for a couple of days. Its been a over two months but when i sleep I am feeling pain in my left shoulder and sometimes in my elbow. I usually sleep on my left side, but feel the pain which ever side i turn to sleep. Sleeping on my back helps a bit but with my left extended at shoulder level. Please advise any exercises that can help me. Thank you! - Mark

Hi, I dislocated my shoulder 5 months ago and it still causes pain and just until recently I’ve had little movement in it. I now think I can do full shoulder rotation and all the movements, however with certain movements, if I put pressure on it, it feels like is dislocated and pops back into place. The back of my shoulder is really tight on certain movements and it hurts. Is this a ligament issue? Can I recover this by myself? I can not afford an MRI or physical therapy so I really need help. I want to go into the military but I can’t with my shoulder being this way. Please give me some advice. I’m 19 years old, about to be 20. I’m pretty fit but not the fittest I’ve ever been. If that affects anything.

hello this exercises good for Posterior (backward) dislocation?
