Rehabilitation after shoulder surgery, rotator cuff repair, stabilisation for instability, subacromial decompression, or labral repair.
Shoulder rehabilitation is protocol-sensitive. After a cuff repair in particular, loading the repair too early risks it failing, and the restrictions in the early weeks exist for good reason. The timeline comes from your surgeon.
Who it helps
You have had shoulder surgery of any kind. You are in a sling and unsure what you should be doing. Or your shoulder has stiffened since the operation.
Conditions we treat with this
Rotator Cuff Injury, Frozen Shoulder.
How it works
- Protection phase. Sling management, passive movement within the surgeon’s limits, and keeping the elbow, wrist and neck moving.
- Restoring passive range, progressing to active as the protocol allows.
- Rotator cuff and scapular strengthening, once loading is permitted.
- Functional strength. Overhead work, and load in the positions you need.
- Return to activity or sport, tested rather than assumed.
What to expect
Bring your operation note, the specific procedure and any repair details change the protocol significantly.
Early phases feel slow and passive, deliberately. Stiffness afterwards is a real risk, so is loading too early, and the protocol balances the two.
Why Le Yantra for this
- Protocol followed precisely, with surgeon contact where needed
- Attention to the scapula and upper back, not the shoulder alone
- Progression through to overhead and sporting demands
- Seven-day availability for the frequent early appointments

Before you book
Frequently asked questions
How long will I be in a sling?
Your surgeon decides that and it varies considerably by procedure. Bring your instructions.
My shoulder is getting stiff. Is that normal?
Some stiffness is expected early. Whether it needs addressing depends on your stage and protocol, raise it at your next appointment rather than waiting.
When can I lift overhead?
Depends on the procedure and your progress. It is one of the later stages, and it is tested rather than timed.
