Dislocated Shoulder (Part 2) - Rehabilitation (healing)

Mowgli (can you see him?) naps on the couch during R's session.

In addition to physical therapy twice a week R. also receives Reflexology from time to time to keep these healing juices flowing; in case of a full session it's usually a face/foot combo, in case of mini sessions it might be just Dien Cham; I gave him at least three sessions on a hike due to challenges in his left calf.  The left side of the body has started compensating a bit for the lack of mobility in the right side (dislocation) as per his physical therapist, and, of course, it make sense.  

I was not sure that hike was good for him, but he was fine; his cane was a great aid and quite a sight (yellow).    

It might also have something to do with the fact that he continues to do his T'ai Chi practice and continues some of his usual fitness regimen which he customizes daily, he goes with the flow.  Although he does the exercises as told by his PT, and he customizes his activities, he gets a bit impatient from time to time.  (I am much more aware of the nature of healing process, but try to be understanding on my part; I have to ;-0, we cohabitate.  The process of healing is more and more interesting to me.)  
During night he wakes up often, but he is mostly pain-free during the day.  I told him to do Dien Cham self care every day; of course, he does not, but when it gets really bad, he asks for help (he knows I wrote this).  He continues to do breath work; coherence breath as taught by Dr. Richard Brown in the early evening and a few days ago for the first time he did breath work with the arm kundalini movements.  Happy news, indeed.  It has been 3+ months, but there has been much progress; although I would have done many things differently, I think he did a really good job finding his own groove.
