Its gonna heal fast , depends on your break of course. Just wear your shoulder brace alllll the time like you should. Its not like you can make it stronger, you can make your body stronger when you can move again. I was skiing within a few weeks, probably shouldnt have but.....   yeah no big deal dude.

broke my clavicule end of last season (like mid april), was out skiing again in june (couldnt go any faster due to work). Mine was a "good" break though, nothing got pushed aside or anything like that. I didnt have to do anything with my arm, just rested it for a week and then went back to work as usual. Healed up pretty fast and good.

Brok my clavicle 6 times. You'll be fine. Just give it time to heal and do push ups.

i broke mine january 1st and i still cant ski park. I can move it fine and stuff but it isnt really all that strong yet. So just take it easy for a month or two and gradually get back to skiing, skating, tramping or whatever. And exercise it too.

I've broken both of mine. Only had a simple arm sling, never did physical therapy. They heal up quick as long as you don't fuck around and wear your sling/brace all the time.
