The New Grad Physio Podcast: 'Why Impingement Is Not A Diagnosis And Why You Should Never Use It'
Impingement is NOT a diagnosis. I hold my hands up and admit that I used to think it was... And worse still, I admit I gave it this diagnosis to 100's of patients and the athletes that I worked with. Not only is this diagnosis label highly inaccurate... Giving impingement as a diagnosis is actually detrimental to your treatment plan and results in reduced adherence to a patients home exercise programme! If you understand this it is a one way ticket to quicker and more consistent results, even with tricky shoulder and hip cases. In this new podcast I’ll show exactly why ‘impingement’… - Is NOT a diagnosis and what it actually is - Why it is lazy label to use and what you should focus your and your patients attentions on instead - Why it should never be used and how to give a diagnosis to a subacromial bursa or cuff issue (the injuries that you would normally call ‘impingement’) without a mention of the word impingement. Enjoy the show! PS. Andy would love to hear your feedback on this podcast. Please leave a review or get in touch at andy@newgradphysio.com and he will get right back to you.
