Mid-Back Treatment May Reduce Shoulder Pain.
Subacromial impingement is a shoulder condition in which the tendons of the rotator cuff become pinched between the top of the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade during movement, leading to pain and limited range of motion. A recent meta-analysis of data from twelve studies found that mobilization therapy applied to the mid-back to help restore scapular alignment resulted in improvements in pain and disability in subacromial impingement patients.
