Shoulder Impingement
Week 2
For week 2 of shoulder impingement rehabilitation, we will move on to mobility exercises that move your shoulder through a larger range of motion. The strength exercises this week will work on scapular stability which will in-turn help keep the entire shoulder joint more stable. Advanced scraping techniques are also introduced to help you get deeper relief in the pectorals and trapezius muscles.
