Thanks everyone.

Regarding the question about having a repair done for the rotator cuff, it was about a year after I got the MRI done and it showed that it was in tact. The MRI did not show a tear in the capsule as they were looking for a SLAP but there are many false positives and false negatives with SLAPs and it hasn't been ruled out for me even though the MRI did not know anything.

I have been working on a graded rehab program with my sports phsyio with now a new focus on also strengthening the core muscles and stabilisation exercises inclusing external, internal rotation, dynamic protraction and retraction. I have considered doing some hydrotherapy and I think that this is probably a good option to start thinking about.

I guess the real issue is whilst I am dancing and learning how to strengthen my shoulder with the movements which can hurt me whilst I am dancing and also learning to turn on my shoulder muscles. That itself is the hard bit for me.

As for the activities I do, I'm a dancer, I also run and workout at the gym but have not been able to move up to weights because of an unstable shoulder. I'm 26 and my day job is being a public servant which doesn't not help with my posture or my shoulder and my other job is teaching and dancing.
