How to Rehab a Dislocated Shoulder | Mobility, Strength & Injury Prevention Tips

If you’ve dislocated your shoulder or are recovering from a similar injury, this video will walk you through effective rehab strategies used with one of my patients after a heavy overhead press accident.

You’ll learn:
-- How shoulder dislocations happen (and how to prevent them)
-- Why isometric training is key in early rehab
-- How to restore mobility with eccentric exercises
- Techniques to align scar tissue for better recovery
-Functional range conditioning for long-term joint health

I’ll show you real rehab sessions, explain why each exercise works, and share tips you can use whether you’re returning to the gym, rebuilding strength, or preventing future injuries.

📍 Who this is for:
-- Anyone recovering from a shoulder injury
-- Weightlifters & athletes looking to bulletproof their shoulders
-- Coaches and therapists wanting practical rehab ideas

I take you through what I did with him and how it helped him get back to feeling better.
I show you different ways that rehab was programmed for him and why.
