recovery training?
i dislocated my shoulder a while back and i thought it had healed but last week it went again. now ideally i should see a physio but i can't afford to. and on the nhs i'd have to wait nearly 3 months. so are there any excersises i can do to strengthen up my shoulder

I'm not an expert - but personally, I'd be very, VERY careful with the shoulder area.
Do you have a regular doctor you can at least get advice from?

Si -- I had a rotator cuff injury and went through physical therapy for it, so this is just my personal experience and not medical advice (see my disclaimer too  ).
A PT session always started with heat, then a warm-up to get the blood flowing (an arm bike), then a long series of stretches, then exercises with resistance bands and some light lat pulldowns and DB curls, and then ice. Unfortunately I don't think that there's any way that I can describe the exercises and stretches in words but if you look around the Internet, you might see some photos or even videos of something similiar.
The frustrating thing about shoulder injuries is that they take so darn long to heal. It's been two years since I did mine and though I'm finally pain free, I still have a noticeable strength discrepancy between my left and right sides that affects shoulder, chest, and arm exercises. As much as possible, I try to use DBs to force my weak side to catch up with the stronger one.
Good luck!
PS -- congratulations on your bench and squat numbers in your signature -- very nice!

Steady on, Si. It's not that you're a tax-paying, law-abiding citizen that the NHS is slow and you have to wait. And it's not asylum seekers who make the NHS slow.
The pain is excruciating, isn't it? (My L shoulder is dubious, shall we say, from time to time.)
Figs for your info: I saw a private physio a while ago and she charged £30. She gave me good advice and I didn't have to go again so I counted it money well spent.
Good luck with the *"@!^&*
btw, are you really a fitter fitter?
