After the shoulder joint has recovered to a certain extent in 4 to 6 weeks after the operation, you can do stretching exercises for the shoulder joint in all directions, such as climbing the wall to feel the height, pulley traction, etc. to improve the mobility of the shoulder joint.
After 7 weeks of postoperative shoulder rehabilitation has reached a certain degree, the rehabilitation training at this stage can be increased appropriately, such as participating in some sports activities such as the bar.
Exercise should not be carried out too early, as it may cause incomplete repair of the joint capsule ligaments, which will be easily loosened in the later stage, resulting in habitual dislocation of the shoulder joint. Exercise should not be too hard, and should be gradual.
In addition to exercise, patients should also improve their diet, eat more nutrients rich in vitamins and proteins, and reduce the intake of spicy food to promote the recovery of the body.
