Shoulder pain isn't a mystery. It's a strategy.

💡 Shoulder impingement isn't caused by a faulty shoulder. It's a shape problem.
In this episode of the UHPC Podcast, Bill Hartman and Chris Wicus break down the three common types of shoulder impingement (and one bonus type). They focus on constraint, space access, and thorax behavior instead of outdated diagnoses.
You’ll learn:
🔸 Why impingement isn't about the rotator cuff, and what to look at instead
🔸 How thorax compression creates the illusion of local shoulder dysfunction
🔸 What painful arc, Hawkins-Kennedy, and overhead symptoms really mean
🔸 How anterior, lateral, and superior pain patterns reflect specific compressive strategies
🔸 Practical approaches to restore internal rotation and reclaim shoulder space
⚠️ Diagnoses like "biceps tendonitis" or "rotator cuff syndrome" only make sense when the thorax is ignored.
🧠 If this clicks for you, it's because you're hearing it from the source of coherence.

0:00 — What Is Shoulder Impingement, Really?
Bill and Chris lay the foundation. Shoulder pain is a space problem, not a tissue failure.
4:05 — Three Types of Impingement
They explain the mechanics behind Hawkins-Kennedy, painful arc, and Neer’s sign. Each tells a different story about compression and constraint.
12:39 — The Real Root Cause
Most shoulder pain starts in the thorax. Local symptoms are just the last stop in a long chain of shape loss.
17:49 — Compression Patterns and Shoulder Behavior
They explore how dorsal rostral and anterior thorax compression drive compensatory strategies in the shoulder.
25:36 — Practical Fixes That Actually Work
This segment gives listeners concrete tools for reclaiming internal rotation and reducing shoulder pressure without chasing the pain.
