You can find out exactly how this works in this article and in the numerous <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJvvs6jPoaU1BLsrlyprY5Q\"  dpc-external=\"true\"  target=\"_blank\" >YouTube videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-689639127 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 20px 0px 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-510541128 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-1134534757 > .col > .col-inner {\n  background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-846149023\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1371743357\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #link1\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#link1\" data-title=\"1.

It is a ball-and-socket joint that connects your humerus (upper shoulder bone ) with your scapula (shoulder blade). The head of the humerus sits in a small socket on the shoulder blade. In this joint, the humerus has a great deal of room to move, because the spherical head of the humerus is not very deeply embedded in the bony socket on the shoulder blade. This allows you great freedom of movement in your arms &#8211; but then again, the joint has little support.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <\/span><b>acromioclavicular joint<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the connection between your collarbone (clavicle) and the acromion (the bony process of the shoulder blade). If you have complaints in this area, doctors often speak of subacromial pain. This refers to pain below the acromion (subacromial).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your shoulder not to float completely unattached, the<\/span><b> sternoclavicular joint <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provides the connection to the skeleton. The sternoclavicular joint is formed by the clavicle and sternum.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1738619985\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These bones and joints of the shoulder are almost exclusively guided and stabilized by <strong>muscles<\/strong>. Some muscles are already attached to the main joint, such as the biceps muscle with the biceps tendon. Other muscles too end in tendons and thus <strong>almost completely enclose the spherical head of the humerus<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If problems in the shoulder area is not new to you, you may know the term<strong> &#8220;rotator cuff&#8221;<\/strong>. The rotator cuff is a kind of tendon cap that encloses the entire joint. It is partly responsible for a lot of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/encyclopedia-of-pain\/shoulder-pain\/?itm_medium=text&itm_source=schmerzlexikon&itm_campaign=dach.traf.en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-pain-&itm_content=en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-impingement&itm_term=kapitel-eins\">pain in the shoulder<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is because the upper bone muscle (Musculus supraspinatus) runs along the inside of the cuff, ending in the supraspinatus tendon. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tendon in turn runs through the very narrow space between the upper arm and acromion. To prevent the tendon from rubbing against the acromion (subacromial), there is a bursa as a buffer under the acromion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the large pectoral muscle at the front and the deltoid muscle on the shoulder, the biceps on the upper arm and the trapezius muscle in the back provide the necessary support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many &#8220;individual parts&#8221; moving, something can easily get out of balance and then cause pain. It is therefore not surprising that more than 25 percent of Germans suffer from shoulder complaints requiring treatment at least once in their lives.<sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-1\">1)<\/a><\/sup> Shoulder operations, especially for the treatment of impingement syndrome, have increased significantly in recent years.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-2\">2)<\/a><\/sup> ) Why subacromial pain in the shoulder and the impingement syndrome are becoming more and more frequent, you can find out in the chapter <a href=\"#ursachen\">Causes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-82997474\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccc In short: <\/strong><b>What is Shoulder impingement Syndrome?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoulder impingement syndrome is also known as shoulder tightness. The upper arm is pulled too far into the shoulder joint and muscles, so the tendons and the bursa in the shoulder are pressed against the bony spur of the acromion. The resulting tightness causes irritation, inflammation and pain. Many movements are therefore only possible to a limited extent and in pain. Decompression, i.e. pressure relief, creates more space again and the pain can disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-82997474 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-467439287\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-medium\" id=\"section_1245946531\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-width:0px 0px 0px 0;margin:0px 0px 0 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-1448363202\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1825559567\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1121736751\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Roland Liebscher-Bracht is performing a pain-free exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1121736751 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1825559567 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px -30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1678318101\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"uppercase\">JOIN OVER 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR PAIN THEMSELVES.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Sign up for The Pain Relief Advisor and each week we\u2019ll deliver free expert pain management content right to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All gain.

Symptoms of Different Types of Shoulder Impingement<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American surgeon Charles Neer first defined impingement as the main cause of shoulder pain in 1972, due to the narrow space between the humeral head (humerus) and acromion.<sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-3\">3)<\/a><\/sup> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The typical symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome are<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shoulder pain<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially after certain movements or loads,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restrictions on movement and mobility<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loss of strength in the arms due to pain in the shoulder,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pain radiating into the upper arm, usually on the outside<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and unnatural joint noises.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people suffering from impingement syndrome find certain movements of the arm painful due to the constriction of the tendon below the acromion (subacromial). Depending on the movement, the tendon is literally pinched in or out. And the more strain on the arm, the more discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Similar complaints in the shoulder<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Calcific tendonitis<\/strong> has symptoms similar to the impingement syndrome: with calcific tendonitis calcified deposits form in the tissue of the shoulder tendons. About 80 percent of these are located in the supraspinatus tendon. Such deposits in the rotator cuff can lead to complaints such as shoulder pain when under stress. Depending on where the calcium has formed, the sliding ability of the tendon attachments can suffer. In addition, the bursa under the acromion is often inflamed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparable symptoms occur with a <strong>frozen shoulder<\/strong> or shoulder stiffness. In a frozen shoulder, the joint capsule is thickened, hardened and partially inflamed. This inflammation leads to a severe restrictions of mobility in the affected shoulder, which is why patients often adopt a compensating and relieving posture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find out more about the various complaints of the shoulder in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/encyclopedia-of-pain\/shoulder-pain\/?itm_medium=text&itm_source=schmerzlexikon&itm_campaign=dach.traf.en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-pain-&itm_content=en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-impingement&itm_term=kapitel-zwei\">our large article on shoulder pain<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-108699535\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>2.1 Eccentric Shoulder Impingement<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eccentric impingement represents the<strong> &#8220;classic&#8221; form<\/strong> of shoulder impingement syndrome This causes tendons and the bursa under the acromion to become trapped. From a medical point of view, this is referred to as a subacromial space that is too narrow. Eccentric impingement can be divided even more precisely into <strong>primary and secondary<\/strong> eccentric impingement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A so-called <strong>primary eccentric impingement<\/strong> of the shoulder is present when a painful arc is involved. This means that the acromion, which forms an arc over the entire shoulder, is in pain. You can feel the pain in the range of 60 and 120 degrees when you extend your arm and move it into the vertical. This effect is intensified by an inner rotation of the shoulder but reduced by an outer rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-144269521\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, the muscles, tendons and ligaments pull the humerus too much into the socket. This causes the excessive pull and pressure upwards against the acromion and acromioclavicular joint. As a result, tendons and bursae are irritated by the excessive pressure and limited space. Through specific exercises, the muscles, tendons and ligaments can be relaxed and the humerus can sink a little. This way the whole shoulder has a some &#8221; wiggle room&#8221; again.

To be more precise, this involves pinching within the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff encloses the entire humeral head and represents a complex muscle and tendon apparatus. As the name suggests, the rotator cuff primarily stabilizes rotational movements of the shoulder. Since it encloses the spherical head of the humerus, the rotator cuff is designed to center the humerus and hold it in the socket. However, the humerus can slip a little to the side and pinch the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff &#8211; this leads to painful intrinsic impingement. We will explain what an effective treatment can look like in this case in the <a href=\"#behandlung\">Treatment chapter<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1473621022\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><b><strong>\ud83d\udccc <\/strong><\/b><b>Rupture of the Rotator Cuff:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rotator cuff consists of the rotator, which is responsible for the rotation, and the cuff, a wide tube. The supraspinatus tendon runs inside the rotator cuff and this can tear under extreme tension. This is known as a rupture of the tendon. The symptoms that occur range from shoulder pain and muscle weakness to neck pain because the surrounding muscles try to take over the tasks of the supraspinatus tendon. If a rupture is suspected, you should definitely go to the doctor and have it looked after. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1473621022 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-246805915\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>2.3 Internal Shoulder Impingement<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an internal shoulder impingement syndrome, a distinction is made between <strong>posterosuperior impingement (PSI)<\/strong> and <strong>anterosuperior impingement (ASI)<\/strong>. The internal impingement syndrome is actually a special form. It frequently occurs in <strong>athletes in overhead sports<\/strong> such as handball, basketball or swimming, as well as in professional groups working overhead, such as painters or mechanics. Here, due to the movements involved in overhead sports, overhead work or general overhead movements, bruising occurs in the shoulder joint or the supraspinatus tendon (SSP tendon) as well as the infraspinatus tendon through the posterior socket edge. In this case, it is mostly the joint socket that is involved in the pinching.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1414656929\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1445122510\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Shoulder_Impingement_Basketball_02102018.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A man playing basketball.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Shoulder_Impingement_Basketball_02102018.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Shoulder_Impingement_Basketball_02102018-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Shoulder_Impingement_Basketball_02102018-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1445122510 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1399663105\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Posterosuperior Impingement (PSI) <\/b>occurs mainly during overhead sports such as handball, basketball or volleyball.

Origin and Causes of Shoulder Impingement<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you are not a competitive athlete and your office chair is the only exercise machine you ever see, you might be faced with impingement syndrome in the shoulder. Especially the eccentric impingement syndrome is very common. Sitting for long periods of time, especially when working at your computer, often leads to a slouchy posture where mostly the shoulder-neck is overstressed. There is some research work on the <strong>connection between sitting postures and the onset of impingement syndrome<\/strong>.<sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-7\">7)<\/a><\/sup> For example, it has been shown that a bent head posture or nerd neck created when sitting at a PC leads to an elevated humerus. Such a raised humerus, which presses too firmly into the glenoid cavity and against the acromion, is often the cause of shoulder impingement syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1790389002\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><b>What Does This Mean Exactly?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In modern office life, you spend a lot of time at your desk. You usually stretch your arms forward towards the keyboard and support your elbows. Over time, this posture leads to immobile shoulders and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/encyclopedia-of-pain\/neck-pain\/?itm_medium=text&itm_source=schmerzlexikon&itm_campaign=dach.traf.en-encyclopedia-of-pain-neck-pain-&itm_content=en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-impingement&itm_term=kapitel-drei\">neck pain<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/encyclopedia-of-pain\/headaches\/?itm_medium=text&itm_source=schmerzlexikon&itm_campaign=dach.traf.en-encyclopedia-of-pain-headaches-&itm_content=en-encyclopedia-of-pain-shoulder-impingement&itm_term=kapitel-drei\">headaches<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are quite common too. In a sitting position with angled arms, your humerus is also pushed upwards. As a result, the muscles and fasciae around the shoulder joints are shortened. Without training, it is difficult for them to elomgate again &#8211; as would be necessary when standing up or making circular movements with the shoulder. This way, tension builds up in the muscles and fasciae and this pull the humerus up way too much against the acromion. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the tendons and the bursa become pinched and pain and inflammation develop. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our aim is to relax and stretch the muscles and fascia in such a way that the humerus sinks a little and the tendons or bursa above it have more room again. Subsequently, irritation and inflammation can subside again.

This is inexpensive and provides a quick overview of soft tissue changes in the shoulder joint. X-rays of the shoulder are often taken for further clarification. If the diagnosis is still not conclusive, an additional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) can be run.<\/span><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-8\">8)<\/a><\/sup> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more frequently, arthroscopies of the shoulder joint are performed as well. During arthroscopy, a surgeon takes a close look at the shoulder joint in a minor operation to determine any possible damage or changes. An experienced manual therapist will find the reasons and locations for shoulder impingement &#8211; but without surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1178833539 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1709785788\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1885422831\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #link4\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#link4\" data-title=\"4.

Treatment of Shoulder Impingement<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have already learned how an impingement syndrome develops in the shoulder and what exactly the cause of your pain is. In this chapter, we would like to introduce you to our effective treatment approach &#8211; because our goal is for you to lead a pain-free life again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One component of our therapy for lasting freedom from pain is our exercises. As you already know, it is important to keep the muscles and fascia in your shoulder nice and flexible. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our exercises specifically target and expand the bottleneck, the narrowed passage, in your shoulder. This prevents the muscles and fasciae from contracting, cramping or shortening, thereby taking up space meant for the tendons in the shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your complaints are not yet too bad, you are welcome to jump straight to our <a href=\"#uebungen\">Exercise section<\/a> and open your bottleneck.

Because then the other component of our pain therapy is just the right start for you: In Liebscher & Bracht\u2019s pain therapy, we use the manual-therapeutic technique of<strong> osteopressure<\/strong>. This involves the targeted pressing of so-called alarm pain receptors in the periosteum. These receptors then transmit the message to your brain telling your muscles and fasciae in the corresponding area they should no longer tense up as much. As a result, the excessive muscular-fascial tensions normalize and the humerus is pressed less strongly into the socket. Your brain then registers that all structures have more space and freedom of movement again and finally stops the pain.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1157419717\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As already mentioned, manually reducing the excessive tension is a first and already extremely painless step. However, it is important for the lasting effectiveness to change the one-sided movement patterns and thus the bottleneck situations that have led to the pain. Roland Liebscher-Bracht has developed special stretching exercises to make this easier for you. They mobilize precisely your problem zones and help you to remain pain-free for good. You will find suitable exercises for the shoulder impingement syndrome in the next chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How Is Shoulder Impingement treated in Classical Medicine?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule, treatments start with medication that is supposed to have an anti-inflammatory effect. However, <strong>anti-inflammatory drugs only treat the symptom<\/strong> &#8220;inflammation&#8221; and not the cause. Therefore, the subacromial bottleneck syndrome lingers on and there is still not enough sliding space for the tendon under the acromion. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Physiotherapy<\/strong> also attempts to increase the subacromial space, i.e. the space between the acromion and the humeral head. However, physiotherapy sessions are limited and need a physician\u2019s prescription first. You can also try our exercises without a prescription or referral.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>For shoulder pain, some patients also try <strong>shock wave therapy<\/strong>. Shockwaves of different frequencies hit your shoulder. The goal of shock wave therapy is to stimulate the muscles to relax. However, shock waves are usually not very pleasant for the patient, the therapy is expensive, and the effect lasts only for a short time.<\/li>\n<li>Acromioplasty is available as a <strong>surgical option<\/strong>. In acromioplasty, bone substance is removed from the shoulder to create more subacromial space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-220787330\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1390835480\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #link5\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#link5\" data-title=\"5.

They should help you to easily integrate the exercises into your daily life and achieve optimal results.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Practice\u00a0<strong>six days a week<\/strong>\u00a0and do each exercise at least once a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 For each exercise you should invest\u00a0<strong>two to two and a half minutes<\/strong>. If you are just starting to do the exercises or if the pain is still too much, you can also gradually increase the intensity. Remember, however, that stretching for only a few seconds has little or no effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Always use your personal pain scale of one to ten as a guide. The best results are achieved if you work on\u00a0<strong>a scale of eight or nine<\/strong>\u00a0for each stretch. Nine means: You feel an intense pain but can still breathe calmly and do not have to muscled-guard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 A pain that is still bearable is the most important\u00a0<strong>point of reference<\/strong>\u00a0for you. So, don\u2019t be afraid of it: Your body will tell you that you are counteracting the muscular \u201econtractions\u201c in exactly the right place.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705\u00a0<strong>Be patient<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 even if it is difficult. It may take some time for your brain to store new movement programs. But if you stay on the ball and make the exercises your daily routine, you can regain your freedom from pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Use\u00a0professional aids\u00a0and not cheap products to treat your pain. If you rely on a defective product here, this can have a negative effect. We have therefore taken great care in the development of our aids and developed them especially for pain treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 If the\u00a0<strong>pain increases<\/strong>\u00a0due to the exercises, there is no reason to panic. That things get worse initially can be a normal reaction of your body. If your overall body statics change as a result of regular exercise, the musculoskeletal system will have to adapt to this gradually. If, however, you feel worse all the time instead of better after the exercises, your body signals that you may be overdoing it. Then simply take a break for a day or two and\/or reduce the intensity a little bit during your next training sessions in order to increase it again in small steps. In this way, you gently guide your body to the eight or nine on the pain scale that is right for you.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-2020400477 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1302824087\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-medium\" id=\"section_1860609572\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-width:0px 0px 0px 0;margin:0px 0px 0 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-1055201974\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-974878122\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_262891357\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Roland Liebscher-Bracht is performing a pain-free exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_262891357 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-974878122 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px -30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-402945803\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"uppercase\">JOIN OVER 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR PAIN THEMSELVES.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Sign up for The Pain Relief Advisor and each week we\u2019ll deliver free expert pain management content right to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All gain.
