Can Physiotherapy Prevent Recurrent Shoulder Dislocations? Expert Insights

This strengthens the muscles around the shoulder joint—especially the rotator cuff—while emphasizing stability and coordination exercises. Substantial gains are achievable, though the shoulder may always remain a relatively weak and sensitive area.'
