Do you have shoulder pain, lack of range of motion with overhead movement, or feel a pinch on the top of your shoulder that refers down into your arm? If this sounds like you then you may have shoulder impingement syndrome and in this video, I'll help explain what's going on and what you can do to fix it!
Shoulder Impingement syndrome is a common shoulder condition seen in people who perform repetitive overhead activities. Sports and activities such as volleyball, swimming, tennis, and painting, all require repetitive arm movements which can cause overuse to the rotator cuff and biceps tendon and pain overtime. In addition, poor posture where your shoulders slump forward as well as the development of bony spurs within the shoulder can also cause narrowing of the sub-acromial space which can lead to impingement syndrome.
The symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome include:
- Difficulty reaching up behind the back
- Pain when the arms are extended above shoulder height
- Shoulder weakness
- People often complain of pain at night and pain that is worsened by lying down on the affected side.
