🔑The serratus anterior is an important muscle that sits underneath your shoulder blade and wraps around the side to your ribs. It plays a significant role in keeping your scapula moving optimally when reaching overhead.
—-
🔎Sometimes when we don’t have optimal stability of the shoulder blade, the scapula can “wing out” leading to the popular term – scapular winging.
—
🤓Don’t view winging scapula as a diagnosis but instead a description of movement quality. Whenever I see a scapula winging out with clients of mine, I use it as a guide to investigate further if their shoulder stabilizers need a bit of strengthening.
—
🎯Many of these exercises involve some form of scapular protraction, which helps target the Serratus Anterior muscle.
——
👉🏼As for most things in the shoulder, I prefer to mix some open and closed chain strengthening when possible (arm moving freely vs arm planted on the ground).
—
✅If you have been dealing with shoulder pain or address your winging scapula, these could be some movements you may benefit from!
