Scapular Retraining & Upper Fibres of Trapezius

Monday, August 24th, 2009

It’s been a while since my last post…

Previously, I discussed a case on the shoulder and sent the client home with a patterning exercise to improve their external rotation strength.  What I didn’t mention is that I first taught them a scapular patterning exercise as a basis for progression.  Check out this video of a scapular patterning exercise targeting upper fibres of trapezius.  This would provide a solid base to build upon when strengthening the rotator cuff muscles!
