Loose shoulder tips

I've experienced several shoulder dislocations over the past couple years in my right shoulder. Recently I have been experiencing more frequent shoulder subluxation (minor partial dislocation). it doesn't hurt much at all and feels fine after but I am concerned that is is starting to happen more, maybe 1-2x/week. My shoulder has not fully dislocated in quite a few months. I don't want to need surgery in the future- anyone have experience on avoiding surgery for loose shoulder or when this surgery is necessary? I currently do stabilization/strength exercises a couple times a week but am thinking of increasing that as well.

Obviously see an ortho (and as surgeons, they will tell you that you need surgery)...but it's probably just going to keep dislocating. I had my right shoulder done in August after a particularly traumatic dislocation (complete labral tear, fractured humerus and glenoid), and though the recovery is quite lengthy, I'm back climbing again and the shoulder feels really tight and solid. Better than my left in some ways. My shoulder was basically non-functioning 2 months post injury after plenty of PT, which does not sound to be the case for yours, so who knows. But the statistics for re-dislocation and injury after just one dislocation aren't really in your favor.

I’m dealing with loose shoulders and have had 2 subluxations on the right side. MRI coming soon to learn more.

Work with a PT to keep the shoulder muscles as tight as possible, and focus on perfect engagement at all times. Check out the “Throwers Ten” PT protocol, that seems to be helping me.

Good luck!

PT can do a lot. Strengthen some small less used muscles and it can tighten the joint up. Will still have possible future problems. Really just depends. My left shoulder was pretty unreliable, lots of PT and some time off climbing helped tremendously

If you insist on avoiding professional help this is my recommendation.

75% of max weight for 8 reps x 3 sets each side. Overhead press with kettle bell.

12 reps x 3 sets. Ts bellydown on an exercise ball.

10 reps x 3 sets push ups. One set wide. One set normal (elbows go track to ribs). One set of diamonds (hands together) 

No climbing for 3 weeks while you exercise. A stronger shoulder is a tight shoulder. Keep doing these forever
