Introduction

Internal shoulder impingement is described as posterior shoulder pain when the shoulder is placed extreme end ranges of abduction and external rotation. This leads to impingement of the supraspinatus and or infraspinatus tendons under the posterosuperior part of the glenoid. Internal impingement is evident in athletes especially in overhead/throwing sports and the non-athletic population. It is important to address the reason for the impingement and not only the symptoms. This course will explore the clinical presentation, causes, differential diagnosis, evaluation, examination and management of Internal Shoulder Impingement.

This course and the whole of Physioplus changed my view on learning after my degree - there are no longer exams, no longer anybody behind my back to push me harder. Physioplus gave me opportunity to really learn something, pushed me to really dig into the topic, and at the end rated me - so I know if I'm going right way. I really recommend it to anybody wanting to be a better clinician.
