Dealing with a recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder is a complex task with a variety of treatment methods. The shoulder is the most commonly dislocated (popped out) joint in the body (Brukner & Khan, 2007). Due to the high mobility of the joint its stability becomes sacraficed. Each year 30-40% of adults experience shoulder discomfort with 1-5% accessing medical care (Hill et al, 2008). Assessment and diagnosis from qualified health practitioners such as Physiotherapists is greatly recommended.
