Therapy for Impingement Syndrome
Treatment of impingement syndrome usually involves a combination of conservative approaches and, in complex cases, surgery. Physical therapy and exercise play a key role in treating and relieving the symptoms of this condition.
Physical therapy is a fundamental component of treatment for impingement syndrome. A qualified physical therapist can assess the patient's condition and develop an individual rehabilitation plan. The goals of such therapy in impingement syndrome are to reduce pain, increase strength and flexibility, and restore normal shoulder function.
Special exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles that support and stabilize the shoulder joint, in particular the rotator cuff muscles. Such sessions may include range-of-motion exercises, stretching and resistance training. Physical therapy can also help patients correct faulty movement patterns and posture problems.
In addition, exercises are performed that are designed to improve shoulder function gradually and safely. They may include pendulum exercises, internal and external rotation exercises, shoulder blade strengthening and stretches to improve flexibility. The main focus is on strengthening the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles to provide better stability.
