Abstract

Purpose: The term Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) embraces numerous concepts. One concept is that it is a condition caused by narrowing of the subacromial space and reduced thoracic spine movement associated with arm elevation can cause further narrowing. This can have the tendency to impinge upon the subacromial structures causing SIS. This study's primary aim is to address two questions. The first question is what evidence exists regarding the inclusion of increasing thoracic movement within the management of SIS? The second is what proportion of Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine (SOMM) physiotherapists use this form of treatment within SIS management?
