Once the initial healing phase is complete, typically around week six, the rehab time for shoulder surgery transitions to "active-assisted" movements. This is a pivotal moment where you begin to reclaim your independence. At Back 2 Health, we utilize tools like pulleys, canes, and wall slides to help you gently move your arm using your own muscle power, supplemented by external support. Stiffness is a common challenge during this stage, but our expert physical therapists use manual therapy and joint mobilization to keep you on track. We carefully monitor your progress to ensure you are meeting flexion and rotation milestones without over-taxing the joint. This phase is about quality over quantity; performing movements with the correct mechanics is essential to prevent compensatory patterns in the neck and back. Let us help you unlock your shoulder's potential. Visit us at -
