Guys I have be diagnosed with shoulder impingement and slightly rounded shoulders so can not do any chest or shoulder excises because they hurt like hell, currently I am not doing the following:-

Bench press DB or BB
Incline Bench press DB or BB
Decline Bench press DB or BB
Chest flys
Or chest press

Military press
DB or BB shoulder press
Lateral raises

So as you can imagine I am loosing a lot size and strength in these areas.

I am however ok to train back, tries etc apart from close grip BP and skull crushers.

What can I do to continue to train shoulders and chest rather not do anything, any pointers?

I am doing Thera band excises to strengthen the rotator cuff etc everyday as advised by my phyiso, and also improving my posture.

any help appreciated.

SN are you saying NO training at all until it heals or just no chest/should work that causes it to aggravate?

I also notice some aggravation if I do heavy BB curls.

Yes been informed to do lots of pec stretches in general, not been advised to them before resistance band though.

Also been advised to train back more,do lots of row type excises which I am doing, these don't cause any issues. I can also do chin-ups these don't cause a problem either.
