In a healthy shoulder, there are many constraints that keep the shoulder in place such as muscles, ligaments, and the labrum. Shoulder dislocation can occur during a trauma like a fall or you may be at risk of dislocation if you have some shoulder instability following previous ligament injuries. Therapy is important in these cases as one dislocation can lead to more future dislocations if the shoulder remains unstable. Your therapist will assess your shoulder and create a treatment plan to restore stability.
