EPISODE 68: Understanding Shoulder Impingement: Why Athletes Develop Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be frustrating, especially when it starts affecting your workouts, training, and performance. But what exactly is shoulder impingement, and why do so many athletes develop it?
In Episode 68 of the Physical Therapy San Pedro Podcast, we break down one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in athletes and active adults: shoulder impingement.
We discuss:
✅ What shoulder impingement actually is
✅ The anatomy involved, including the rotator cuff and subacromial space
✅ Why athletes who throw, swim, lift weights, play volleyball, tennis, and CrossFit are at higher risk
✅ Common causes such as rotator cuff weakness, poor scapular control, mobility restrictions, and training overload
✅ Symptoms athletes should never ignore
✅ How shoulder impingement is evaluated and diagnosed
✅ Physical therapy treatment strategies and rehabilitation progressions
✅ Return-to-sport considerations and objective testing
✅ Prevention tips to keep your shoulders healthy and performing at their best
Whether you're an athlete, coach, clinician, or someone struggling with shoulder pain, this episode will help you better understand the root causes of shoulder impingement and what it takes to recover safely.
If you're experiencing shoulder pain, don't ignore it. Early intervention can help prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems and get you back to doing what you love.
