Shoulder function not recovering

Age: 27 Sex: male Height: 180 cm ...5'11" Weight: 87 kg ... 190 pounds Location: latissimus dorsi and shoulder Duration: long story, been having trouble last 10 years. Got SLAP type 2 surgery last year. Been doing rehab.

So i want to ask a doctor what i can do about shoulder joint movement. Every single movement i do with my right arm is led by the lats doing all the work. My right lat is way more developed than my left due to my body compensating for the problem i had been carrying unattended for the last 10 years. Is there a way to fix this? Like how do i teach my body to use shoulder muscles instead of using lats to compensate? I can't develop shoulder muscle properly, lat does all the work.

What can i do? Do i need to provide more information? Please help.

The real experts here are going to be the physiotherapists, I think.

I don’t know about forums, I meant to try see a physio. They can work wonders for this kind of thing.
