Understanding Scapular Exercises | Physio Explains Exercises for Shoulder Blade Training

The King (alleged) has returned!

The third video in the scapular saga is complete. It is finished. My sincere apologies to those of you following along for keeping you waiting, this trilogy was never meant to resemble the Lord of the Rings quite as much as it did with wait time, but alas life had other plans.

In this video, I draw on what I went through in the previous 2 videos about the movement of the scapula, and the muscles that cause scapular movement, to explain how exercises that cause scapular movement work.

I've broken them down by movement, so I highlight:

The Shrug - Scapular Elevation

The Tricep Dip - Scapular Depression

The Row and Reverse Fly - Scapular Retraction

Push up Plus and Cat Cow - Scapular Protraction

Overhead Press and Angled Shrug - Scapular Upward Rotation

Cable Pulldown - Scapular Downward Rotation

I'm going to be doing a similar series for the hip soon, so make sure to let me know in the comments if there's anything you'd like to see as a part of those videos!

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.

A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way.

Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, wife and dogs to be a pretty cool guy.
