Got any good ideas for scap stabilization besides wall slides? I've got way too much upper trap activity and zero lower trap strength, so my shoulders end up over my ears when I extend my arms overhead. I'm working on t-spine mobility, scap stability, and then worrying about my cuff since having a healthy cuff is impossible if I have Neaderthal posture. Thanks for the good cuff info.

Also, I will use it too after my bjj shoulder injury my shoulder is still not that stable, so this exercise will help. Thanks, A I will add this exercise to my shoulder rehab exercises.

I agree that scapular stabalization is very often overlooked when dealing with the "shoulder". Another variation of this exercise is to have the athlete lay on his or her side with the arm extended up towards the ceiling and then "perturb" or gently and randomly move the patients arm around. It is generally harder if you do this at the patient or athletes wrist. One VERY important concept with this is to make sure that the humeral head is centered on the glenoid fossa before and during the movement. Only continue with the exercise until the athlete can no longer stabalize the humeral head in the glenoid. I like the sidelying version also because the humerus is more perpendicular in the glenoid fossa than in the med ball version where it is more parallel with the plane of the glenoid fossa. The version that you show here would be a good version after the athlete is able to perform and master the sidelying version of the exercise. Great ifo though and keep up the good work!

Tony,

Would any unstable surface training (rings, trx, swiss ball) for the upper body do the same thing during any exercise?

Is this best worked in as part of the warm-up?
