Occupational Therapy for Shoulder Rehabilitation

Shoulder rehab is a type of general conditioning program that is designed to provide a vast array of exercises designed to assist individuals after experiencing an injury or having surgery. It aids in ensuring that person is able to quickly return to their daily activities. It permits the participant to enjoy a lifestyle with activities in a healthy manner.

When Should Shoulder Rehab be Started?

Once an injury has occurred – such as a sprain – the shoulder should be checked by therapists immediately. 

What Should be the Main Focus of Shoulder Rehab?

During shoulder rehab, muscular timing – which is also referred to as “coordinator contractions” – is one of the main focuses. Progression factors will also be an area of focus. This places an emphasis on the neuromuscular control of the entire shoulder region. 

Occupational therapists focus on maximizing function and independence in daily living skills. Treatment may involve activities to improve arm and hand function, vision, cognition, community reintegration or mobility.
