Save for later! Healthy shoulder tips: overhead stability! The scapular stabilizers (traps, levators, serratus anterior to name a few) need to work well with the rotator cuff muscles to maximize control at this very mobile joint. Weakness here can contribute to things like pain or aches in and around then shoulder or it’s neighboring joints, especially with overhead movements. 👉🏼This includes pitching, volleyball, racquet sports, and swimming, or overhead lifts! By targeting muscles that control these regions and in a way that effectively maximizes mobility, stability, & strength, the shoulder is better prepared to sustain loads thru it and generate power from it. Once you feel comfortable with more basic scapular stability and rotator cuff exercises, try these dynamic moves.
