Scapular Function & Coordination Routine
Spine & scapulae: 'Global' patterns
•
4m 15s
THE WHAT
A basic routine to mobilise, develop neuromuscular-efficiency/”neural-drive”, and restore fundamental function in the scapula and ‘large-frame’ spinal-movement. Working mostly in a prone position on all 4's allows for easier exploration of MAXIMAL shoulder & scapular retraction (facilitated by gravity), a pattern which commonly undergoes a case of “motor-amnesia” when sedentary habits reduce exposure to this range.
Further, the routine incorporates foundational-level ‘spinal-work’, again facilitated by gravity, going through fundamental global-flexion, extensions, and also “circles” toward bringing these ranges back on the cortical-map.
