Brief Answer:
Avoid weight lifting

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information

Yes, there is a condition where the Rotator cuff which stabilizes the shoulder joint might be loose and weak. In that case there is an increase chance of dislocation.

There are surgical procedures to correct it. but for now you may have to avoid weight lifting to avoid dislocation.

Thanks a lot doctor for the guidance. Are there any exercises by which the rotator cuff gets stabilized? I do not want to undergo any surgery and want to take alternative solutions. Please suggest the same.
