Returning to training after injury

Hi, After having some trouble with a sore shoulder due to instability in the shoulder joint I've quit the pool for 2 weeks. Been to a physiotherapist which suggested strenghtening the rotatorcuff muscles, bicep tendons and general core stability of the shoulder. I've been doing these exercices and have noticed some improvement in the stability so I decided to go back to the pool last weekend (after talking to my physio first). My first session was a short 1500m workout with no intensity or toys used. Two days later I went back to the pool, this time for a planned 2000m session focussing on endurance, using the pullbuoy for a total of 500m of the session, the rest was just frontcrawl and some kicking. During the training I felt my shoulder playing up again so I ended my training early. So I am doing something wrong obviously. I don't really see how I could make my sessions even easier on my shoulder? Basicly I'm puzzled about how to resume training and remain pain-free while recovering. Any advice?

I find the easiest thing in my shoulders is fist swimming dog paddle with fins and snorkel.Then comes BR fist swimming,then Free fist swimming with fins.Then is full hand dog paddle, then regular BR,leading to regular free.Only after I can do free consistently with no pain do I add if fly and BK.
