Gaining Scapular Control - Scap Clock Drill

Scapular instability is the root of most shoulder pain. Therefore, gaining scapular stability AND mobility begins with isolating this structure, and forcing dynamic movement to promote both mobility AND stability. Video by John Izzo, NASM-CPT, PES

will this help with a winging scap? I have a client who has a badly winging scap, but I think pec minor and subscap are issues as well... can this help the process along or do those issues have to be significantly cleared up first?

[standapart]

@Shadowzz4 Yes, this will help with scapula winging. The actual drill will stretch the pec minor as you lean forward towards the wall.

This is MINE. McGill focuses on the lumbar spine. You would think this is Sahramm's work, but again, this is mine.

Stability or lack of thereof...you are correct. INSTABILITY is the root. Thanks!

I LOVE this! Great minds think alike, because the other day I shot some vids of myself doing similar stuff in the quadruped position with the valslides, but I am digging your progression!!!!!! :D
