Shoulder Impingement is one of the most common labels given for anyone with shoulder pain, and I’m here to tell you today it’s a horrible diagnosis. The term “impingement” is very vague and doesn’t tell you at all WHY the injury is occurring in the first place. Research shows there are technically two kinds of impingement: external (or subacromial) and internal. If you don’t know which one you’re dealing with and WHY the problem is occurring, your rehab exercise choice will never be as optimal as it could be.

External impingement describes the pinching of the bursa (a small fluid filled “air bag”) or rotator cuff tendons against the ceiling created by the acromion bone. The subacromial space is the space between the acromion and the rotator cuff/soft tissue structures. Internal impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff are pinched between the “ball” of the humerus and the edge (usually the back side) of the socket “tee.” Because these classifications are based on where the impingement occurs, they often bring out pain in different parts of the shoulder.

External impingement for example often creates pain on the front side of your shoulder as you raise your arm overhead. Internal impingement creates pain on the backside of the shoulder as the arm is elevated and externally rotated.

To understand WHY your shoulder impingement is occurring we’ll need to uncover:
1) Mobility imbalances
2) Stability imbalances
3) Coordination imbalances

OMAR says:

Tried it didn’t fix shoulder pain

I definitley have the one on top. The Iron Scap and Crossover Symmetry programs with the bands have fixed it in the past but my desk job makes it get bad again over time.

Thank you for sharing, this is really useful for me and my athletes

Mario Kbron says:

Dr. Horschig is an Innovator, I'm 55 and I wish I'd known all these drills 20 years ago to avoid these shoulder issues today. Following the advice given on these informative videos, I can confirm that my problems had always been in the stability side and have seen a hell of a lot of improvement with the techniques given. Mad Respect Given, I simply adore This guy!!
