Physical therapy?!


Question:

Physical therapy?

I hurt my shoulder three weeks and am going to physical therapy in three days. I want to get a headstart however, and would like some exercises to do at home. I'm not really sure what exactly is wrong with my shoulder for a trainer has said it is a sublaxemation, one doctor says it is a contusion and yet another says it was a torn muscle. Please help! = D


Answers:

There is no exercise that we can recommend you do without first performing an evaluation. Physical therapy is highly individualized and completely dependent on the results of your physical exam. For instance, a diagnosis of "subluxation" is meaningless for rehab until we find out in what direction the joint in lax, which specific muscles are weak or tight...etc. Starting three days earlier should not have any affect on your outcomes. I would wait until the PT exam. Good luck.
