EPISODE 67: Shoulder Dislocations- Diagnosis & Rehab Explained

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body—but that mobility comes with risk. In this episode, we break down shoulder dislocations—what they are, how they happen, how to know if you've dislocated your shoulder, and most importantly, what the rehab process actually looks like. If you've ever felt a "pop," had shoulder pain after a fall or injury, or you're trying to get back to sport safely—this episode is for you. 💡 In this episode, we cover: -What a shoulder dislocation actually is -The most common mechanisms of injury  -Signs & symptoms to look out for -What a reduction is and when to seek care -Common associated injuries (labrum, bone, nerve) -The rehab process from start to finish -What it really takes to return to sport safely 🎯 Key Takeaway: Just because your shoulder feels better doesn't mean it's ready. Strength + control = stability. Rehab matters. 📍 Need help with a shoulder injury?
