Hello,

This my first post.

I am a 56 year old male. Last week after a motorcycle accident I underwent surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder. I opted to have it done immediately because the ligaments were completely torn and after talking with the orthopedist felt this gave me the best shot at recovery albeit more slowly.

I have two pins, one of which will be removed in 10-12 weeks at which time I can begin rehab. I am wearing a sling 24/7.

I have been lifting weights for 25 years, run and surf.

My question is what to expect as to strength and mobility loss when rehab begins and how long to expect for "full" mobility and strength.

Also for those that have gone through something similar did anyone incorporate yoga into rehab. I have been doing yoga off and on for 30 years.

Thanks for any advise,
