Background: Axillary nerve injury is a rare but significant complication following anterior shoulder dislocation, leading to deltoid weakness, impaired abduction, and functional limitations. Early physiotherapy can facilitate neuromuscular recovery, restore shoulder function, and prevent secondary complications.

Case Description: A 28-year-old male sustained an anterior shoulder dislocation following a sports injury, complicated by axillary nerve palsy. He presented with shoulder weakness, numbness over the lateral arm, and difficulty in daily activities.

Intervention: A structured 8-week physiotherapy program was implemented including deltoid and rotator cuff strengthening, proprioceptive training, functional range of motion exercises, and neuromuscular facilitation.

Outcome Measures: Muscle strength (Manual Muscle Testing), shoulder range of motion (goniometry), pain (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), and functional ability (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [DASH] score) were assessed pre- and post-intervention.

Results: The patient demonstrated improvement in deltoid strength, shoulder abduction, functional activities, and pain reduction.
