This will allow the rehabilitation specialist to implement an individualized treatment program to address these factors and prioritize the treatment goals. The primary emphasis of the treatment program is to reduce the mechanical irritation to the rotator cuff and promote a restoration in tendon vascularity that can result from muscle guarding, mechanical compression, and abnormal shoulder mechanics. […] The nonoperative rehabilitation program outlined in this article for the treatment of shoulder impingement is a multiphased approach focused on a return to prior level of function via a systematic process. This treatment program is outlined in Table 4 and consists of four phases that are a gradual progression of exercises and implied stresses that increase and become more demanding than those of the previous phase of treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment program is based on the identification of the underlying causative factor or factors and the individualized program designed to address this condition.
