For Shoulder Impingement(SI)

Shoulder impingement is a condition in which the humerus bone does not have adequate space to glide down during flexion and side raising of the arm. It is also a condition in which the AC joint is affecting the ability of the supraspinatus to abduct the shoulder. Or can be caused by weakness of the scapulorthoracic muscles coupled with a tight posterior capsule.

Physical therapy: manages this through patient education,manual therapy, massage, stretching and joint mobilization.

Post therapy training: should focus on posterior capsule stretching, stretching the tight upper traps and pectorals, strengthen the weak rhomboids, scapular retractors to help restore the scapulohumeral rthym(SHR). SHR should have 2 degree of glenohumeral movement to 1 degree of scapulothoracic motion. Which exercises are safe?
-Mid row exercise(rhomboids)
-Low trap pulldowns and lat pulldown to front of chest
-Standing external rotation with cable using tubing
-Seated posterior reverse flye machine

Train to attain and be safe.
