Objective To assess the effects of an additional programme of physiotherapy in adults with a first-time traumatic shoulder dislocation compared with single session of advice, supporting materials, and option to self-refer to physiotherapy.
Design Pragmatic, multicentre, randomised controlled trial (ARTISAN).

There will be individual and team challenges, where people will complete 460 reps per hour (to represent the heart and circulatory related deaths per day) for seven hours (to represent this happens seven days a week).
