Scapular Stability

A stable shoulder complex (scapula and rib wall) will provide the ability for easy motion of the shoulder joint and therefore arm. Optimal timing and positioning of the scapula is essential in shoulder joint health and preventing injuries to the rotator cuff. Reduced scapular mechanics go hand in hand with pain and dysfunction in the shoulder joint.

As with most treatments it is important to normalise tissue length and tone first and then stabilise the area before we then add larger range movement and load.
The video in term 1 newsletter shows some great ways to relieve tension in the shoulder which can then be followed with some of the exercises on this hand out.
