Anti-Rotation Scapula Stability Exercise

Here is a variation of a serratus punch combined with an anti-rotation exercise for some core stability along with promoting scapula stability.

• have the patient in standing or as a regression tall kneeling
• you may try this in a cable machine, TrX, Jungle Gym XT, etc
• have the patient lean forward until challenging at the edge of their ability
• trunk stays in neutral and they have to prevent rotation as it is a unilateral upper quarter closed chain exercise
• for 2-3 minutes alternate between
• shoulder circumductions
• slow alternating arm circles into ER and IR
• scapula protraction and retraction without scapula elevation
• progressions
• lean forward more
• put feet together
• progress to single leg stance
• if this is painful/regressions
• regress into tall kneel, or have them put their feet more underneath to limit the WB
• wrap the upper arm with an EDGE Mobility Band
• perturbate the cable or TrX strap behind them to facilitate scapula stabilizers (or further challenge, it may have either effect)
