I'd love to hear you and my PT argue! :) My doc did the Scapular Assistance Test on me and I did not feel a difference. He said he saw improvement. What do you think of that test? And outside of subacromial pain, are there any reasons why dyskinesis might be a big issue? It seems like you are saying PTs should stop worrying about it all together.
Typically I care more about how it feels (a decrease in pain) compared to if I see a difference. There was actually just a systematic review on this for athletes which suggested that scapular dyskinesis might actually be an adaptation to sport vs a dysfunction. 🤷♂️
After 10+ years of playing violin (requires holding one hand up at or above my shoulder), I only truly realized there was an issue after I started exercising and doing overhead lifts. It wasn't painful, but uncomfortable enough to alarm me. After that, I realized it could explain other imbalances and quirks of my body that I would really love to fix.
@@basewho5230I was also a violinist (now a conductor) and after realize my abnormal shoulder movement it became clearer to me why playing violin was never comfortable for me.
yeah but how many times per week? for how long? should i progressively add more load/less elastic bands? should i do this for both shoulders equally or only the painful one?
There’s lot of variation in the recommendations. Generally 2-3x per week is needed with progressive overload over 4-8 weeks. But it all depends on the tolerance to loading and the person.
I had minor bicep tendonitis (minor injury during chest press) which caused discomfort in twisting movements.. later a certain point in shoulder was minorly painful, within a month the twisting motion has nearly resolved but I've noticed as I'm healing from this, im experiencing muscular pain in lower part of scapula.. could it be scapular dyskinesis because of my existing shoulder injury
Good video! Do you know good rehab exercises for AC joint pain? especially when doing bench presses? (the pain is in any kind of bench press dumbbells/barbells/machine)
Lots of time wasted here. The diagnosis of scapular dyskinesia is reliable for people who know for certain they previously were able to lift their arms vertically overhead (or other shoulder movement) without pain or impingement and now are limited in range of motion and experience pain with the movement. People who have never regularly played sports or performed strength training probably don’t know, but those who have will. Reprogramming the mind-muscle connection after a diagnosis of scapular dyskinesia and fixing dysfunctional movement patterns was the key for me to once again perform shoulder presses pain free, as well as being able to run, etc etc without shoulder pain.
I found it very helpful, greetings from Brazil
Glad to hear it!
Good informations on point
Thanks!
Thanks for good rehab video specially who have scapula dyskenesia .
Glad that the video was helpful!

I don’t have any! But I’m going to add it to the queue of videos! Keep an eye out.
does scoliosis cause scapular dyskinesis?
Not necessarily. If the scoliosis has some rib rotation, it can impact the scapular biomechanics though.
