What is shoulder impingement?
Impingement describes soft tissue (rotator cuff, bursa) being pinched under the acromion, usually when the arm lifts between 60 and 120 degrees.
The osteopathic approach
We look upstream: stiff thoracic spine, poor scapular control, tight pec minor and overactive upper traps are common drivers. Hands-on treatment, dry needling and targeted rehab restore the space the tendon needs. Osteopath Mitcham — hands-on osteopathy at Lifestyle Essentials, 503 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham.
