Shoulder Rehabilitation
Shoulder rehabilitation is a process designed to restore strength, flexibility, and function to the shoulder after an injury or surgery. It typically involves a series of exercises tailored to the individual's needs, focusing on improving range of motion and reducing pain. Physical therapists often guide this process, using techniques such as stretching and strengthening exercises.
The rehabilitation program may also include modalities like ice or heat therapy to alleviate discomfort. Patients are encouraged to follow a consistent routine and gradually increase the intensity of their exercises. Successful rehabilitation can lead to a return to normal activities and improved quality of life.
