Shoulder Impingement Physiotherapy in Islamabad | Expert Care at AR Clinics

If lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or sleeping on your side causes sharp pain, you may have shoulder impingement (subacromial pain syndrome). At AR Clinics in Bahria Town Phase 4 (Islamabad/Rawalpindi), we provide non-surgical treatment for shoulder impingement using evidence-based physiotherapy.

Our team including a female physiotherapist in Islamabad and skilled in orthopedic patients offers results-driven care trusted by the local community looking for the best physiotherapy clinic in Rawalpindi Islamabad.

Symptoms of Shoulder Impingement:

• Pain at the front or outer shoulder during overhead reach, fastening a seatbelt, or tucking in a shirt
• Night pain or disturbed sleep when lying on the affected side
• Weakness, “catching,” or reduced mobility in daily tasks and sports
• Aggravation during activities like throwing, swimming, or lifting

If these symptoms persist beyond 1–2 weeks, consult our shoulder pain physiotherapy clinic in Islamabad to prevent chronic irritation.

Common Causes of Shoulder Impingement:

Shoulder impingement is usually due to poor mechanics rather than inflammation:

• Scapular dyskinesis & poor posture: rounded shoulders narrow the subacromial space
• Rotator cuff imbalance: weak external rotators allow abnormal humeral head movement
• Capsular stiffness: especially in the posterior capsule
• Training load errors: sudden spikes in overhead activities without progressive loading

Our tailored rotator cuff physiotherapy programs directly address these issues.
