Abstract
$\bullet$ Rehabilitation should be based on an understanding pathology and abnormal arthrokinematics and biomechanics. $\bullet$ Rehabilitation should be kept in mind to play a vital role in the successful outcome after shoulder injuries or surgeries. $\bullet$ Program should emphasize treating the cause and not just the symptoms. $\bullet$ Maintenance of the normal scapulohumeral and scapulothoracic rhythm and optimal strength should be re-established with rehabilitation. $\bullet$ Program modification and appropriate progression must be peformed on an individual basis.
