“Can physical therapy fix shoulder impingement?”

The shoulder is made of 3 bones the humerus the clavicle and the glenoid (Anterior medial part of scapula)  sitting in this intersection is rotator cuff which is made of Muscle, tendons, and cartledge.  This condition is usually seen in men and women who are physically active in their 30" and 40's.  It is sometimes called swimmers shoulder and can be very painful.  Its thought to be caused by exercise that involves stress over the head such as in swimming where you are yanking against a force that arms are over head yanking water out of the way and propelling against it.  Some mild cases can respond to therapy or cortisone injections but more severe cases may require surgery.  Should you like to contact me for interview my number is 631-681-6529 and I'm available anytime.  I have always been interested in this field of medicine and would like to think I would be an asset to your practice..    Thank you for your kind consideration

Hello, yes physical therapy can be a great option for shoulder impingement once your therapist does a thorough evaluation to find the root cause for your impingement.

Hello, Physical therapy can be highly effective in treating shoulder impingement. It focuses on exercises that strengthen the shoulder muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance range of motion. These exercises aim to reduce pressure on the shoulder tendons and alleviate pain. While physical therapy can significantly improve symptoms, the extent of recovery may vary depending on individual factors like the severity of the impingement and adherence to the therapy program. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to develop a tailored treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

Yes, kindly get the shoulder evaluated by a PT to determine the cause of impingement to determine what the correction course of action should be with therapy. Thank you.

Depends on how damaged but therapy is usually helpful too.
