I am looking for a rehabilitation program for my right shoulder. My shoulder 
has become instable thorugh various sports actitivities such as
football, boxing, basketball, and discus throwing.  It frequently pops
out of place.  This often happens when I am doing a reaching out or
extending motion like rebounding a basketball, or also through
overhand throwing motions.  Additionally, direct contact to my
shoulder (such as hiting a football sled with my shoulder) also makes
it prone to slipping out of the joint.  As you can imagine, the
problem has made it difficult for me to play sports anymore.

This popping out of my shoulder joint has happened about 30-50 times
in the last several years, and each time it has happpened, my shoulder
has slipped back into the joint on its own about ten seconds later,
although it is often sore for several days afterwards.  I fear that my
shoulder is getting prgressively looser and looser.

What I am looking for is a rehabilitation program that will help
stablilize my shoulder.  Specifically, I want to know the programs
and/ or exercises that  athletes with a similar problem to mine have
gone on that have worked for them.  I am already familiar with such
exercizes as internal and external rotation to strengthen my rotator
cuffs, as well as rear delt flyes.  I have done them sporadically, but
they have not helped me out a great deal.

Hopefully, what you can provide me with is the exact or a similar well
rounded rehabilitation program that would be prescribed to an athlete
who have suffered a shoulder dilocation or subluxation or any kind of
shoulder instability.  I know athletes such as football player Ray
Lewis and baseball player Derek Jeter have suffered a partial or full
shoulder dislocation in the last year or so, and am wondering what
they or similar athletes did to rehab their shoulders.

Hi, relentless999!

 If another researcher doesn't answer your question I will give it a
go when I have some free time.

  A shoulder that is slipping out of the joint as often as yours is a
chronic problem that is likely due to overstretched ligaments. Most
strengthening exercises are not going to do much to improve long-term
shoulder stability. However, I would still encourage you to exercise
and strengthen the shoulder joint area.
 
 You might want to consider Prolotherapy. I had it done several years
ago for chronic slipping of the sacro-iliac joint, and a friend of
mine had several injections in her shoulder ligaments after numerous
dislocations. Both of us had good success.

 You might want to look through the Prolotherapy site at
http://www.prolonews.com/

 "Prolotherapy is a little known but highly effective method of
treating chronic ligament and tendon weakness. In Prolotherapy, the
weakened areas are injected with a proliferant solution that directly
stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and
ligaments grow stronger and more capable of doing their tasks, the
pain is alleviated."

umiat-ga, thanks for the suggestion.  I pretty much hate surgeries,
pills, injections, etc., so I would only try them as an absolute last
resort option.  I would like to undergo a throrough rehabilitation
program before trying such things as the injection you mentioned.
Thanks anyway.
