October is month at our practice.
The scapula (aka shoulder blade) is a triangular bone that sits on the outside of the rib cage. It is attached to the rib cage by ligaments and muscles, called the scapula stabilizers. The scapula is highly mobile and can move in all directions. The motion of the scapula is coordinated with the motion of the arm, and is called the scapulohumeral rhythm. Often the importance of strengthening the muscles controlling the shoulder blade is overlooked. Having a strong, stable, and well-moving scapula is important in order to decrease the possibility of injury. Strength in the scapular stabilizer muscles is important for overhead throwing motions, lifting weight over the head, proper position of the scapula and posture.
can help you improve shoulder stabilization by doing a full Biokinetic evaluation on the shoulder and setting up an individualized scapula stabilization rehabilitation exercise program to increase strength of the scapular stabilizer muscles and prevent and decrease injury.
