What is shoulder impingement? SI is the inability during shoulder flexion and abduction for the humerus to properly glide down within the glenoid cavity. This is caused by the following:
1)Tightness of the posterior capsule
2)Deceased space of the AC joint affecting the supraspinatus tendon
3)Weakness of the scapulothoracic muscles

What are the best exercises to work with a SI client?
1)Teach posterior capsule, pectoral and upper trap stretching
2)Strengthen the weak rhomboids through mid row exercise
3)Strengthen the weak low trapezius and serratus anterior that will help create a force couple within the ST joint
4)Strengthen the core: trunk rotation with medicine ball, or cable or bridging with physioball to name a few
