Impingement Syndrome: Pain and evasive movement in everyday life

Technology: Integration of the learned exercises into everyday activities

The aim of the treatment is pain-free movement in everyday life and at work.

As long as an acute / subacute impingement syndrome is still present, pain-inducing activities should be avoided.
If the familiar pain in the household chores or work processes occurs shoulder occur, it makes sense to carry out the desired movement without stress, i.e. no complete protectionbut the range of motion below the pain threshold leave it in place so that the structures of the shoulder joint are not irritated every time.
In addition, our "remembers" brain the pain, in the worst case it becomes chronic and remains even after the causes of the pain have already been eliminated. For overhead activities, it is helpful to bring the working level “closer” by using a stepladder or to relearn work for a period of relief on the unaffected side. Longer To phone can through a Headset be relieved.

The learned exercises for shoulder joint stabilization can also be used in everyday activities, e.g. before lifting or spreading your arm, be aware of this shoulder blade and stabilize the shoulder joint head in order to avoid the pinching pain in the shoulder.

Those affected usually avoid sleeping on their painful shoulder on their own as long as there is pain at rest. An important indicator for the improvement of the problem is that lying on the affected side is tolerated again.
