5 Shoulder Impingement Exercises to Boost Recovery

If shoulder pain has made you hit “pause” on your favorite sports and activities, you might have shoulder impingement syndrome.

An impingement can show up in any of the ligaments or muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder’s ball-and-socket joint (known collectively as the rotator cuff). So, the only way to truly know your shoulder’s status is to get it assessed by a physical therapist or another medical professional.
