The scapula is meant to float freely along the ribcage, suspended on all sides by the 16 muscles that attach directly to it. Often, our scapulas effectively get immobilized and “glued” down to the ribcage, inhibiting the freedom of the entire shoulder girdle.

The intent of this class is to give you a digestible set of tools for treating five key structures for scapular mobility:  serratus anterior (especially the upper aspect, which rarely gets treatment), subscapularis (and its relationship to the serratus anterior in scapular binding), pectoralis minor, rhomboids (and the fascial continuum with the serratus anterior) and levator scapula.

There will be a concise and insightful anatomy review of these structures with an eye toward fascial continuities and the functional relationships between them. When this work is applied effectively, your clients will invariably hop off the table and exclaim, “I feel like I have wings!” 

Mask policy: Surgical masks are optional.
