What Is Shoulder Impingement Syndrome / Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy?
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome and Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy are two closely related conditions that cause pain and restricted movement in the shoulder. They often develop when the tendons of the rotator cuff — a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint — become irritated, inflamed, or compressed as they pass through the shoulder joint space.
​
This can result in pain during lifting, reaching overhead, or sleeping on the affected side. In many cases, both impingement and tendinopathy occur together.
​
