Improving your understanding of shoulder reconstructions and providing a complete rehabilitation program to ensure a safe and speedy recovery.
Do you want to experience a safe recovery without complications from using your shoulder inappropriately? Do you want to know more about the reasons why you may need a shoulder reconstruction, what will happen in surgery and what rehabilitation should involve?
- Rehabilitation after a shoulder replacement is a delicate process. You will often need to wear a sling in the early days of your rehabilitation. Additionally there are certain movements and positions which should be avoided after surgery. At the same time it is important to start gently movement early on in order to regain full function in your shoulder later down the track. It can be easy to get these guidelines mixed up, especially when you return home and are trying to return to normal routines.
- This e-book provides comprehensive guidelines so that you can feel confident that you are looking after your shoulder correctly during rehabilitation.

Anyone who will have or have had a shoulder replacement would benefit from this e-book. By understanding the anatomy of their shoulder, what the operation involves and what a rehabilitation program can help you to achieve, you will be empowered to make the most out of your shoulder’s rehabilitation.
Therapists should refer to this e-book as a guide to their shoulder reconstruction rehabilitation programs in consultation with clients so they are able to set common goals and exercises to achieve them.
Therapists can provide their clients with a guide to their rehabilitation complete with demonstrative photos and exercise explanations. Of course, the program is able to be modified to your client’s individual needs.
We realise that by just reading this book you are not going to be proficient in all aspects of rehabilitation from a shoulder reconstruction. Practical training by a specialist physiotherapist or occupational therapist is always recommended. Wellness & Lifestyles Australia can provide you with these therapists if needed. The book should only be used as a resource document following some interactive training. E-learning modules by W&L are also available.
