Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed or "pinched" between the bones of the shoulder during movement. This leads to inflammation, irritation, and pain, especially when raising the arm.
This condition is often linked to movement patterns and posture:
Repetitive Overhead Activity – Common in athletes and manual work
Poor Posture – Rounded shoulders reduce joint space
Muscle Imbalances – Weak stabilizing muscles
Bone Spurs – Can narrow the space in the joint
✔ Pain When Raising Arm – Especially above shoulder height
âś” Sharp or Pinching Sensation
âś” Weakness in Shoulder
✔ Pain During Sleeping – Particularly on the affected side
