While I appreciate the confidence, there's a lot things that are not known.
His lack of mobility may be joint related and the soft tissues simply adapted. That's not to say that some ART or whatever won't help but if the joint is shot, it's shot.
You also can't place all the blame on the trainer. The guy didn't let his hip heal correctly. That's his fault. Continuing with the trainer while experiencing progressive injuries. That's his fault too. Caveat Emptor.
We also don't know the true condition of the shoulder and to what degree function is affected. Some labrum injuries and cuff tears can be rehabbed, some can't.
You need to track down the docs involved and/or get the medical notes to see where this guy is in regards to severity and types of injuries and why they are moving forward with surgery.
Regardless, try to restore as much mobility and strength as you can prior to surgery. the better he goes in, the better he comes out.
