Surgery is the last option for a shoulder labrum tear before other treatments are used to treat it. They are often treated with rest, over-the-counter medications, and physical therapy.  In case of a bankart tear, the doctor may be able to pop it back up into place, followed by physical therapy. It’s needed to strengthen your shoulder muscles, especially the rotator cuff. You may also receive messages or manual therapy during visits.  You’ll be told certain activities to perform every day and certain things you shouldn’t do or avoid to increase the healing. Exercises will involve gentle stretches at home, and they might last for weeks or months, depending on your injury.
