Why 'shoulder impingement' is really SAPS / RCRSP: and why loading changes everything
The older impingement model said the acromion mechanically compressed the cuff on overhead motion, leading to a surgical era of subacromial decompressions.

How shoulder impingement / subacromial pain syndrome (saps) matching works
What was long called 'shoulder impingement': the idea that the acromion mechanically pinches the rotator-cuff tendons on every overhead lift: has been largely reframed in modern evidence as subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) or rotator-cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP).
The problem is less about a bony roof 'hitting' the tendon and more about rotator-cuff tendinopathy, scapular motor-control issues, and capacity mismatch between the demands placed on the shoulder and the tissue's tolerance.
