Impingement syndrome. Rotator cuff tendonitis. Shoulder bursitis. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).

 

Note: Keep your body relaxed during the stretch, allowing your upper back to round out and your shoulder blades to separate. When you lean backwards, let the weight of your body do the stretching.
