Preparing for the Journey Ahead

Rehabilitation after shoulder replacement surgery is a critical step in your recovery journey. With the right program—and advanced rehab tools like the Humero Tech C1—you can restore mobility, rebuild strength, and return to an active life with more confidence.

The Road to Recovery After Surgery

Early Phase: Rediscovering Movement
Immediately after surgery, you may feel stiffness, soreness, and reduced range of motion. Your therapist will guide you through gentle, assisted movements to protect your new joint while preventing stiffness.

Intermediate Phase: Building the Foundation
As healing progresses, resistance-based training begins—ideally incorporating advanced tools like the Humero Tech C1—to support strength, stability, and function in all planes of movement.

Late Phase: Ready for Anything
In this phase, you’ll focus on progressive strengthening, balance, and functional training to prepare for return to everyday activities.

Note: Timelines vary by patient. Always follow your surgeon and therapist’s guidance.
