How can I regain full strength in my shoulder after a ligament tear?

Q: I had a ligament tear on my shoulder for which I was operated. I haven't got full strength in my shoulder till date. Please recommended some exercises? Can it return to its pre operation state?

A:You need to do shoulder strengthing exercises. But if shoulder movements are resticted, then mobilisation exercises are recommended. In standing position try to bring both arms in front and join hands, raise overhead. Bring arms down slowly sideways. Repeat these exercises 3 times, five times a day. Same exercise can be done with holding small dumbles. Hope u have a speedy recovery.
