Grade 3 AC Joint Dislocation (Separated Shoulder) 9-Sep-2009 At 10:51:58 PM jgoding

Hi Scottah,

I just meant that the position of your shoulder is important to reduce the wear and tear on the joint. If it's in the correct position then the wear and tear should be minimal. My tendancy was to have the shoulder lift up (i.e. like you're shrugging) and also to roll forward (i.e. poor posture).

If it's rolling forward, or you're lifting the wrong way you could over stress the joint and cause more wear and tear.

It's also from a posture point of view (learnt this doing pilates) that doing exercises with your shoulders in the correct position keeps things in balance, and helps you to stay injury free.

I have 100% strength and range of motion in both shoulders now - but it's taken a lot of work to get here. You will definitely need a prolonged physio program to get you back to where you were (or better than where you were). You may well experience other discomforts such as sore back etc which are to do with the muscle imbalance caused by inaction. In short once you've been through the rest stage and get to physio don't stop. Staying strong and well balanced is going to be essential for you to stay injury free.

anyway good luck with it. don't take my advice anyway - go see a pro who can explain the mechanics of the joint (and suitable rehab programs) based on sound understanding - not one experience.
