      The overall findings of this systematic review suggest that clinicians and researchers need to focus on other biopsychological factors that may be more pertinent to symptoms in SAPS. For example, weakness of the rotator cuff and scapular muscles has been observed in multiple studies in participants with SAPS. In addition, systematic reviews have found rotator cuff and scapular muscle strengthening exercises to provide benefits to pain and function in participants with SAPS.

      What strengthens both rotator cuff and scapular muscles? High pulls and not upright rows. Research they've cited disagrees with them.

I knew the source materials immediately and it frustrates me for those uniformed viewers. Keep up the great work.

Immediately my shoulder felt stronger and more mobile with less pain. WTH???!!! I cant believe the studies showing the same issues in people with AND without symptoms! WHAT??

    Well done sir. Had some pinching, stop me in my tracks shoulder pain, start around fall of last year. Orthopedist said I seems to be an overused bicep tension. I’m a mechanic, mountain bike a lot, and play darts.
    Just being mindful of what movements made it hurt and in the beginning, a little bit of band work, I now have been feeling it less and less. Still there, but I would rather keep it moving, make sure when carrying or moving any weight during work or elsewhere, to engage any muscles around that can aid in the work to do so. Usually helps much like a brace of the forearm for tendinitis.
    Ortho didn’t recommend surgery and we just keep an eye on it for some time. This video was great and I agree with a lot of what you said. Thank you

    Thanks for the video… very interesting and informative. I have been struggling with shoulder pain for the last 18 months or so that was diagnosed as SIS. I am an active 58 year old male who loves weight training. Through the help of PT that targeted scapular mobility problems, core strength and postural strength I was able to return to and progress with manageable symptoms. About 6 months ago I had a setback. I had to stop all upper body loading for a while and returned only by stopping all pressing movements as they seriously flared up pain. Over time I have been slowly able to add limited pressing movements back-currently dumbbell incline presses and recently seated overhead dumbbell presses. I have limited discomfort with these movements. I am very conservative of load, volume and frequency. I have not pain in pulling movements. My biggest complaint is pain during sleep. Every night the pain flares up regardless of sleep position and/shoulder support. The pain is generally in the 6-7 of 10 range and either wakes me or makes it difficult to fall back to sleep. I had an MRI done this week and they report “mild to moderate hypertrophic changes in left AC joint causing mild to moderate compression” of the supraspinatus-“there is mild lateral downsloping acromion process”. No tear is seen. I’m at a loss. I’m fine with my progress in the gym. Overtime I am gaining functionality with not increase in symptoms. But, the plain at night is intolerable. Is getting a steroid injection a good next step? Am I foolish to keep pressing given my nighttime pain? What about surgery that doesn’t remove bone, but just burrs down the “spur”? You only talked about the extreme version of decompression surgery. Thanks for any thoughts you have.

      Agreed, I'm in self-imposed rehab on my right shoulder after some throbbing following a heavy push day. I've lightened the load for both push and pull days while also having specific days for shoulder functionality improvement - strength, flexibility, mobility, stability. Better to focus on my rotators now versus a severe injury later when I can't do anything. I'm also looking to get better at swimming - can't do that with a busted rotator!

    Really interesting video. I developed quite bad pain in my right shoulder and was diagnosed with shoulder impingement... I suspect it was being caused by very poor posture... I did all the pysio work that was recommended by my Physiotherapist and added a bunch of additional exercises to work on my posture and over time it all went away. The reason i found out posture was likely the cause is that i was still able to train my shoulders (with some pain) but it hurt a hell of a lot less when i was strict with putting my shoulders back... it was then i realised how useful a mirror is when you're training!!

    I've been dealing with impingement in my right shoulder since I tore a rotator cuff 11 years ago.
    It's been limiting my exercise selections greatly ever since. I can't do pullups, pushups or dips without a bad flare up. And lateral shoulder raises is out of the question too. Planks are iffy, especially right side planks.
    And as a martial artist, over head blocks and internal parry, hooks, uppercuts and backfists are significantly limited and painful.
    As i get older, it only gets worse and I'm finding myself cutting out entire movement patterns. This is true for other chronic injuries I'm dealing with. I try to train around them, but am running out of parts i can train around with.

    Well said!!!!!! Thank you. I am doing acupuncture every 3 days for shoulder. Monday will be my 4th time but.I can't keep paying.
    I have been training at F45, doing bandwork at home.
    Its getting better. I want to do strong glute bridges to buildup the shoulder.
    What are your thoughts on acupuncture for shoulder mobility?

      This is an excellent question to be asking, the answer to which may be unknown. However, just because we don't fully understand why it works doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad treatment. If it provides some sort of short-term pain relief that allows patients to move more freely and better perform their exercises, I would sure think it still holds some clinical value regardless of knowledge of specific mechanisms.

    thanks for the video, very interesting to watch, but still have a question, if impingement doesnt exist, how do i cure my pain which has been diagnosed as inpingement and bursitis (and doesnt want to go away)?

      They're using what's called an argument from fallacy.
      So, just do what Athlean-X suggests. Face pulls, external rotation progression, exercise modifications.
      I've faced the pain you're facing, so has my father, because of inflammatory arthritis, mine way more aggressive than my father, and we've both made excellent gains in the past few months, gaining a lot of function, reducing pain, using Athlean-X's content. Watch all his videos on shoulder pain and popping. Try working with resistance bands and slowly strengthen your shoulders before adding free weights.

      It does exist, he's just saying nonsense. You can fix it by strenghtening your lower traps and serratus anterior muscle, which will put your scapula in a more optimal position for over head movements.

    I am 62 working out for 40 years. Out of no where, it began to hurt bad to raise side laterally, and to do movements like tuck in my shirt behind my back, arcing movements and seated triceps dips (and hurt at night bad sometimes - used a lot of heat pads on it). Pain mainly in center/mid-to-top side of shoulder but seemed to phantom out into upper shoulder/trap are . Doctor took X-ray. Shows slight arthritis and he said I likely had bursitis at first. Then after awhile, my right should was snapping painfully. After 3 months, it has subsided. Finally got an MRI. It shows no evidence of rotator cuff tear. It stated: "There is an abnormal signal along the distal supraspinatus tendon consistent with tendinosis. Laterally downsloping acromion with narrowing of the subacromial space.". Now Doctor says I have tendinosis. Does this fall into that Tendinopathy. I layed off the gym for 2 months but I was still using the shoulder as I was doing a remodel for 3 months. Doctor had me scheduled for a ultra sound cortisone shot but it got delayed due to scheduling for 2.5 months. When time came to get shot, I was feeling 85% better so I declined. Now back at gym doing slowly working shoulders again after about 6 months of being careful with it. Doing some external rotation exercises to warm up.

    Thank you for this video. I was told I have shoulder impingement and it was recommended to go to PT. My doctor told me that I could try some stretching before going to PT which I did but it didn’t really help. So I stopped doing everything no exercising, no stretching, and within a few days it started to feel better. But I exercise regularly so I went back to exercising, and now my shoulder hurts again. I’m going to try resting again and if it doesn’t heal I will go to PT. My reluctance to PT is simply cost.

    I'm a 61 year young male in above average physical condition. I have regularly attended HIIT classes and strength training classes over the years and continue to this day. I'm not into body building or pumping iron. About 3 months ago I developed pain in my left shoulder. There wasn't any "event" that happened. This may sound strange but I attribute it to trying to train myself to sleep on my side to keep from snoring so much. Everything was fine until I started that regimen. I even felt some pain in my right shoulder but that went away. I didn't have any shoulder issues previously. I took a break from the strength training the class 13 days ago and the pain has decreased. Big surprise, right? I have also avoided sleeping on my left side. 3 1/2 weeks ago I saw my ortho and he gave me a cortisone shot. He's a specialist who focuses from the shoulder down. I've seen him over the past 10 years for various arm issues and trust him. The shot didn't seem to do anything. The pain i've been experiencing is a pinching pain. It's not a constant pain. Certain movements catch and pinch. At its worst I had constant pain going up my shoulder to my neck. My follow up is February 9th. Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank You!

    I've taught philosophy, and formal logic and reason specifically, for decades, so I am qualified to say, 'You, Sir, make 'good' sense!', as opposed to the more 'common' variety' (a very low bar) touted and practiced by those driven by the prevailing winds of a 'shiftless' paradigm. You've validated my problem with modern 'old-school' physiotherapists, regardless of age, who hide behind a Latin narrative to propose greater expertise for themselves than their actual knowledge warrants and greater respect than they've a right to claim due to their lack of success in rehabilitating their clients; though for that lack of success they are parasitically good at generating perpetual clients.

    I have a question: I started hitting the gym six days a week last week. Front overhead shoulder pushes (dumbbells) make a "crackling" sensation inside my shoulders, especially the right should, but I do NOT feel pain. What could help me avoid this sensation? It seems like my shoulder will eventually tear, for the sensation inside of it is like sanding a piece of wood. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Excellent overview of the current literature, debunking the impingement theory, and providing a positive view on movement and exercise. There are still too many beliefs about specific exercises causing specific problems, thus being "wrong", or people overly focusing on the 1 right technique and viewing others / variations as bad.
    After this video I'm left with a question: how can the painful arc be explained? Especially if this is not due to a decrease in the subacromial space..

    Hey Osteopathy student here! If it is the case that shoulder impingement isnt a valid diagnosis what would the kind of pain that responds to hawking Kennedy, Neer test and so on be? You mentioned musculo skeletal. Could it be that the rotator cuff muscles arent firing correctly and keeping the head of the humerus down? Curious on your thoughts!

    I love critical thinkers, people who question things and don't believe something just because an authority figure or "expert" says it. Studies are fine but have to be examined as to who is funding it. In this case that may not be much of an issue, but in other cases (I think we all know what the last few years have made us question) it's really the only issue. I am a big fan of trying what someone recommends like exercises. If it works great, if not, well It may work better for others but not for me.
    Bottom line on upright rows is if they bother your shoulders, find another exercise that doesn't.
    Informative video and I believe you nailed it. Way too many people will just believe what a doctor tells them, they want a pill that will fix the problem & do not want to hear that it's gonna take work & lifestyle changes to get the desired result, it's human nature. I believe the more research you do the more informed an opinion you will make. Buyers remorse comes from not doing the research to know what it is you are buying, don't buy a pig in a poke as they say.
