How Physiotherapy helps in Acromioplasty

Shoulder tendons are what is covered by acromion which is part of the scapula. This acromion can be bent/change in shape thus resulting in pre-mature contact with the tendon. This further causes rubbing during the physical movement of the shoulder. It further causes the tendons to become inflamed and then rupture. This is treated by the surgery called Acromioplasty. In this surgery, the inferior side of the acromion is resected for its flattening. This prevents rubbing during movements.
