scapular stabilization

Scapular stabilization involves strengthening the muscles around your shoulder blade (scapula) to keep it securely positioned against the rib cage during movement. This improves shoulder movement, reduces pain, and prevents injury by ensuring proper alignment and efficient muscle function. Key muscles involved include the trapezius, serratus anterior, and rhomboids. Proper stabilization allows for better arm motion and shoulder health, maintaining balance and stability during everyday activities and exercise. Effective scapular stabilization exercises focus on strengthening these supporting muscles, promoting optimal shoulder mechanics and reducing strain on other structures.
