Natural Anatomy
The natural anatomy of some people makes them at a higher risk of developing shoulder impingement. For instance, patients with hooked or curved acromion bones tend to have a smaller subacromial area than normal people. This can increase their susceptibility to the condition. Similarly, prominent coracoids would lead to subcoracoid impingement, a less common form of shoulder impingement. While these conditions naturally occur in some people, therapies or surgery can help adjust and improve their anatomy to reduce the risk. [4]
