Shoulder Impingment

Common shoulder impingement syndrome symptoms include difficulty reaching behind the back, Pain with overhead arm use, and shoulder muscle weakness. Pain can occur during both activity and rest, radiating from the front of the shoulder to the arm side. Pain may suddenly increase when lifting the arm or reaching. Athletes in overhead sports may experience Pain when throwing. As the problem progresses, symptoms increase, with NightPain, strength loss, and reduced motion.

Many practitioners believe treatment is complicated due to numerous muscles around the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff constitutes a collection of ligaments working together for optimal joint positioning. Since modern living requires many repetitive movements, this results in shoulder impingement aggravation.

Fortunately, Pain can often be reduced by applying Osteopressure, regardless of whether Pain stems from around the shoulder or whether the arm is pulled downward. If tendons are affected by faulty strain, they may recover and restructure following treatment that re-programmes affected muscles.
