So you’ve decided to go under the knife…
Getting the best out of your shoulder surgery doesn’t happen by accident.
Whether you’ve undergone a subacromial decompression, rotator cuff repair or arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation, there are many factors which come together to increase your potential for a great post surgical result.
Some of the most important factors are:
- The quality of your tissue – poor quality tissue may lead to repair failure
- The size of the tear – larger tear size may lead to repair failure
- Your biological health status or ability to heal (e.g. smoking negatively affects your tissues ability to heal)
- Your ability to protect your surgical repair whilst gently promoting movement
- Your understanding of what your specific repair needs in terms of rehabilitation
- Your physiotherapists understanding of what rehabilitation strategy is required, when and how to apply it
- Open communication between you, your surgeon and physiotherapist

We work closely with some of Brisbane’s leading shoulder surgeons so that you can be assured that we know what we are taking about.
