scapula

You look at Trent Robinson and Cooper Crump.

They come out with a broken scapula.

Scapula.

Well,

that's what it is.

Scapula.

Scapula.

Scapula.

Also von den Muskeln, Bändern und Sehnen, die das Gelenk umgeben und es in Echtzeit steuern.

Und der Schlüssel dazu ist das Schulterblatt, die Scapula.

Ah.

Es ist die bewegliche Basis, auf der das ganze Armkonstrukt aufbaut.

Doorway chest stretches open up tight chest muscles that are literally pulling the shoulders forward.

Scapular retractions, squeezing the shoulder blades together, build strength between them to stop that rounding.

And thoracic extensions, often done over the back of a chair, loosen up mid-back stiffness, which quietly contributes to neck strain, too.

So three areas, really.

Bonus five.

Scapula.

All right, man.

Yeah, that's perfect.

So all of these things that you're doing are helping you to build the accessory strength, the positioning, and the skill work.

Another example would be- Scapular pull-ups.

You can do these as a warmup, or they could be combined with a pull-up, say, uh, in the actual workouts themselves, but a scapular pull-up is really gonna help you to learn to use the upper back, right? We talked about the lats and the upper back muscles being the prime movers of a pull-up.

And consistently, what I'll see is people who are less experienced just try to pull with their arms.

We must detail the key distinguishing clinical features that confirm the diagnosis during this weakness phase.

Scapular winging, phrenic nerve involvement, and the distal predilection are primary indicators, right?

Yes.

Scapular winging via serratus anterior involvement is a primary feature and a major driver of chronic pain, fatigue, and overuse injury in the shoulder joint.

And you mentioned phrenic nerve involvement.

Right.

It's like a 200-something straight game.

Scapula, is it? Broke his scap.

Yeah, I seen him there today in a sling.

I felt sorry for him.

and may be helpful in certain scenarios.

So the first thing I wanna talk about is scapular manipulation.

Scapular manipulation is, I think, described as its own technique, but I think can be a great technique to augment anything else we try.

And I will admit that when I was in training, I had no understanding of this phenomenon.

And I remember doing a reduction with an attending or a senior resident and they were like, do some scapular manipulation.

We talked about mandible, shoulder, and hips.

We talked about the syringe technique, extra oral for mandible.

Scapular manipulation is a great adjunct to all of our other techniques for shoulders.
