Exercises to improve Scapula Winging and Irregular Shoulder movement.
▶️ PART 1
[Make sure you check out both Part 1 and Part 2!]
Do you have scapula winging or irregular movement of the scapula when you rasie your arm, shoulder press, push up or chest press? Have you worked on strengthening but still have winging issues?
You may need to start working on the PATTERN of scapula to arm movement (your 'scapulo-humeral rhythm') to help sort out the winging through range.
I have 2 exercises that I use for patients who have spent time on serratus and lower trap strengthening, but still have shoulder blade movement dysfunction when they raise their arm or do press movements. The exercises need to be done with a lot of repetition as it's like learning to improve your golf or tennis shot - it takes time and a lot of practice - as you have to get you brain over time automatically using the muscles during the movement.
1️⃣ Abduction Slide - Wall Press
2️⃣ Abduction Slide - Prone (Band)
I also drill down some functional anatomy for you to help you get the idea of what you're trying to achieve, as well as how the shoulder blade ('scapula') moves relative to the arm during above head movements. Lot's of head stuff here but well worth it!
