What sports are possible after shoulder replacement?

Doctor’s answer

Most patients can do walking, cycling, light-to-moderate swimming, resistance-band training, and daily strength exercises. Heavy overhead lifting, sports with high fall risk, and intense contact sport should be avoided. Specific restrictions depend on the type of replacement, rotator cuff status, bone quality, and medical advice.
