Ok...Here's the short verison of the lead up to my question. I dislocated, well suplexed (popped out but popped in on it's own), my shoulder about a month ago when I was doing butterfly (I promise my form has improved since then:D ). I took a week off from swimming, work and everything and my shoulder was for the most part healed, it only bothers me every once in a while..mostlyat work. But today when I was swimming, it kinda started grinding and hurting when I started my recovery on all my strokes. Any ideas about what to do? Drills to make it stronger or anything would be good. When I do dryland I spend some time focusing on making it stronger...benchpress and such, so it should be getting stronger, so I was surprised when it hurt today. Maybe it's the changing weather;). Im gonna let it rest for a day or two and ice it regularly, but when I get back into the pool it would be nice to not have this problem again. Thanx for your help!!

A few other points:
1. The rotator cuff muscles are small, so you don't want to start with a lot of resistance. Tubing and Therabands are color coded depending on the amount of resistance.
2. Lat pulldowns are great for shoulder stabilization; avoid dips, bench press, upright rowing.
3. Do the exercises consistently (daily) and be patient; it can take a few months to see results.
