    How to fix scapular winging: isolation exercises targeting the Teres, infraspinatus, supraspinatus, and the rear delt muscles. Strengthening these muscles will roll the shoulders back and down into a more neutral position. Winging can also be effected by your body being in extension. If you have QL/psoas pain then working the glute medius, adductors, and the lower transverse abdominals near your groin, and your obliques will stack your pelvis under your rib cage putting that shoulder in a better position to target those muscles and take tension away.
    After 7 years of mind numbing pain from a rotator cuff injury and scapular dyskinesis and the muscle compensations that came along with it, this worked for me.
    Depending if your winging is a response to a rotator cuff injury, it takes 2 months to really notices progress and 4-12 months to get as close to 100% as you'll ever be.

    • @UsernameTaken.
      @UsernameTaken. 5 месяцев назад +1

      To feel the muscles you have to do 4 things :
      1) you have to keep the shoulder down throughout the whole movement. This is called scapula depression. You can search this term online if you're not sure how to do it.
      And don't confuse the part of keeping the shoulders down with raising your arms overhead. You can still raise your arms overhead in the wall during the movement while keeping the shoulders down/depressed.
      2) Push the blades away. This is called scapula protraction. And don't round the spine when pushing the blades away. Scapula rounding and scpaula protraction are two different things. Although in the video he said round the upper back ,its the wrong term,he should have said protract the scapula. When you protract the scapula you push the shoulder blades away without bending your spine. While in the other hand,when you round the spine it basically means bending the spine. So focus on scapula protraction which means pushing the shoulders away without bending the spine.
      3) Keep the glutes/core/abs engaged during the whole movement. Film yourself to see whether you are keeping posterior pelvic tilt or anterior pelvic tilt. If you engage your abs/glutes you will go from antetior to posterior pelvic tilt,which is the right way to do it.
      4) Keep the forearms vertical. If you notice in the video he mistakelly flares the elbows out when performing the wall slide which makes the movement less efficient. Instead of keeping the elbow out focus on keeping them in a vertical position.
      GOLDEN TIP : Film yourself. Do these exercise 3-4 times a week for 3 sets with 4 reps. Do this for 4 weeks. Film yourself again. If you dont see any change after 4 weeks then switch strategy.

    I have uneven scapulas, where my left one is winged and slightly higher than the right one, which restricts my mobility on the left arm in some movement/workouts. Any excercise I can do for this? I went to chiropractor who thought it was because of overmobility in the left scapula and weaker muscles on that upper left side of the body compared to the right side.

    The popping stops for a while when I swing my arm back straight, with the thumb pointing up and pressing my arm towards my shoulderblade using, in this case, a doorframe. It totally stops during the day cause I'm assuming that my shoulder has loosened up by then.

    Can we do that exercise on the ground and instead of pushing our hands upward we’ll move down wards with our body?

      You can train without issues, just make some initial preparation excercises to prime the scapula, then do the stuff that does not give you excruciating pain.

      Same but it might be because of constant activity with it, I’m currently taking a whole week off to serious address the problem. It can lead to messed up shoulders, back and hips.

    • @d.j.wellington
      @d.j.wellington 2 года назад

      Same. I've honestly kinda given up on these videos so idk what to do. I think if I go to the gym a lot it might be fixed because I usually do calisthenic exercises but I don't think I've ever seen a gym person with this. All the best man.

    Squat University is a must follow for anyone who is avid about weightlifting! Best warmup/rehab content on RUclips! Does anyone know how many sets/reps of these are recommended?

    • @LarsRyeJeppesen
      @LarsRyeJeppesen Год назад

      As much and as often as possible. It's about teaching your system to activate the muscle correctly, so the more the better .Do it for 2 mins, 2 x daily for example.

    I limped for many years due to extremely painful warts on the bottom of my right foot (thankfully now removed) causing a slew of instability+injuries to the right side of my body, every stabilizing muscle on my right side from my ankle to my neck has been ruined and this was so helpful for strengthening my right shoulder again

  • @Themix274

    1st queue i get, round the upper back en push the shoulder blades away.
    But during the second queue i don't understand how to rotate the scapula up and around the thorax, if I'm already pushing the shoulder blades away in step 1?
    I just don't feel any muscles really engaging...

    • @UsernameTaken.
      @UsernameTaken. 5 месяцев назад

      To feel the muscles you have to do 4 things :
      1) you have to keep the shoulder down throughout the whole movement. This is called scapula depression. You can search this term online if you're not sure how to do it.
      And don't confuse the part of keeping the shoulders down with raising your arms overhead. You can still raise your arms overhead in the wall during the movement while keeping the shoulders down/depressed.
      2) Push the blades away. This is called scapula protraction. And don't round the spine when pushing the blades away. Scapula rounding and scpaula protraction are two different things. Although in the video he said round the upper back ,its the wrong term,he should have said protract the scapula. When you protract the scapula you push the shoulder blades away without bending your spine. While in the other hand,when you round the spine it basically means bending the spine. So focus on scapula protraction which means pushing the shoulders away without bending the spine.
      3) Keep the glutes/core/abs engaged during the whole movement. Film yourself to see whether you are keeping posterior pelvic tilt or anterior pelvic tilt. If you engage your abs/glutes you will go from antetior to posterior pelvic tilt,which is the right way to do it.
      4) Keep the forearms vertical. If you notice in the video he mistakelly flares the elbows out when performing the wall slide which makes the movement less efficient. Instead of keeping the elbow out focus on keeping them in a vertical position.

    im sorry mate, but one muscle cannot protract and retract at the same time. 0:57
    muscles only shorten
