Many regions in the upper scapula are sources of pain created down the arm. THE BODY WORKS AT A DISTANCE!
Scapular stability is obviously a key consideration with shoulder problems. Peripheral nerve entrapments are often overlooked when addressing shoulder instability. I had a shoulder pain case recently where the client exhibited scapular winging when attempting to activate the rhomboids. I found entrapment of the dorsal scapular nerve between the rhomboid and serratus posterior superior. Freeing the entrapment immediately resolved the winging.
