I acquired a winged scapula about 5 months ago from playing catch, I overstrained it by throwing a long distance pop up. I damaged my long thoracic causing the SA muscle to unhinge my scapula. 5 months later the pain is gone but I still have slight winging(much better than before though) but I can't benchpress or lift my arm very high. I suspect my nerve healed but the muscle is weak from disuse, will this exercise correct a Winged Scapula caused by an injury or only natural Winged Scapula?
@OzzysFilmProductions nothing, overtime it should even out. over doing 1 side is what got you into trouble, doing it again will just make more trouble.
Go swimming, swim on your back and hold your arms next your hips, and then use your HANDS ONLY! Stretch your legs out! This activates the serratus anterior.
I swimmed 4/5 weeks and my Serratus Anterior was visible. I guarantee you to go swimming, sorry for the bad English .. peace
wow glad I found this, after an intense chest workout I'm about 90% sure I suffered a contusion to my thoracic nerve, causing serratus anterior paralysis, when I try raising my left arm my scapula wings out. I'll deff give these a try and see how it goes.
@jazz5matazz I didn't get much out of these either. What I like to do is take an exercise band and place it behind my back so it crosses just below the scapulae. Grabbing each end straighten your arms so your hands are at eye level, then just press out. It's basically like a standing push up plus, but I feel it a lot more in my serratus for some reason, and they're always sore the following day.
didn't have time for the gym today. so did some pullups and burpees. worked these into the burpee sequencing and was surprised at the discomfort. thanks for the tip on working a rare muscle area
When I try to do these my arms bend when I lower myself, its like I cant reach that ROM without something pulling on my arms/elbows, causing them to bend. Do you know what this means? am I doing something wrong.?
@BlackGypoMagic Haha 10 months on and i'm still lmao-ing

Actually stiff Serratus Anterior could lead to winged scapula. Training the middle and lower trapizium is the sollution ;)

great info! Is this usually done in the warm up? Also is there a progression after this or should you just add weight to the exercise?

Great video.
However, you should have eliminated the background noise (voices, etc.).

This is a great exercise for activating serratus anterior, but you need some off-weighting mechanism to help facilitate futher activation!!

@jazz5matazz mine's like this too. The traps always take the weight and the shoulder pulls forward making the winging worse!
