Hi, 7 months after Bankart repair, persistent stiffness despite home exercises deserves a proper reassessment. It can be related to capsular stiffness, restricted joint mobility, or an inappropriate exercise progression—and simply doing more exercises may not solve it.
Next Steps
A 1:1 physiotherapy assessment can identify what is limiting your ROM and help tailor mobility, strengthening and progression safely. Online supervision can also be useful if regular in-person therapy is difficult.

Persistent stiffness can occur due to capsular tightness, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), non-optimal home exercise technique, or improper progression of the rehabilitation protocol.
Next Steps
Self-directed home exercises without periodic clinical supervision may lead to improper biomechanics or inadequate stretch intensity. Transitioning to hands-on manual therapy and guided joint mobilization under a qualified physiotherapist is strongly advised.

Recovery after arthroscopic Bankart repair varies from person to person. At 7 months, persistent stiffness may occur due to capsular tightness, reduced shoulder mobility, muscle weakness, scar-tissue restriction, or an inadequate/prolonged rehabilitation progression. Comparing your recovery with others can be misleading, as the extent of injury, surgical repair and healing response differ.
Next Steps
Since stiffness is still significant after 7 months, I would recommend an in-person assessment by your operating surgeon and a physiotherapist. Shoulder ROM, particularly external rotation and elevation, rotator-cuff strength and scapular control should be assessed. A structured physiotherapy programme with appropriate mobility work, progressive strengthening and functional exercises may be required rather than relying only on home exercises.
Health Tips
Do not force aggressive stretching or heavy exercises without assessment, especially after a Bankart repair. If you have increasing pain, recurrent instability/dislocation, clicking with pain, marked weakness or worsening restriction, consult your surgeon promptly.

Recovery after Bankart repair can vary from person to person. At 7 months, persistent stiffness suggests that your shoulder may need a closer assessment rather than simply doing more exercises. It does not mean that you are the only one having this problem or that your recovery cannot improve.
Next Steps
Get your shoulder movement and strength assessed to identify what is limiting your recovery and adjust your rehabilitation accordingly. You can consult me online for an assessment and guidance on progressing your exercises safely.
Health Tips
*Continue gentle mobility exercises, but don’t force painful end ranges.
*Avoid suddenly increasing weights or overhead loading.
*Focus on gradual strengthening of the rotator cuff and shoulder-blade muscles as tolerated.
*Compare your progress with your own previous range and strength rather than other patients, as recovery timelines differ.

When you need surgery, choosing the right surgeon is very important. Similarly, choosing the right physiotherapist is equally important for your recovery. Both surgical treatment and physiotherapy play an important role, and the right combination of both can make a significant difference in achieving the best possible outcome.
Next Steps
So take an online consultation for best diagnosis and treatment.
