One of the common questions I am asked in my Orthopedic practice is, "Can I lift weights after shoulder replacement?"

I advocate for a balanced approach when it comes to resuming weightlifting activities post-surgery. Once you have successfully completed your rehabilitation program and received medical clearance to engage in physical activities based on your tolerance, I believe that weightlifting can indeed be a beneficial part of your health regimen.

The one type of lifting I strongly discourage following a shoulder replacement surgery is overhead pressing or any similar overhead maneuvers. These activities can place an excessive burden on the new joint and should be avoided to prevent potential complications.
