Neutral Shoulder Position

Physical Therapist Margaret Martin demonstrates how to find your neutral shoulder or scapulae position. The position of our scapulae (shoulder blades) dictates not only the alignment of our arms but also the alignment of our head. In this episode we explore feeling the range of our scapulae positions from protraction (shoulder blades apart) to retraction (shoulder blades together). We find your neutral scapulae position both in standing and lying. Once you gain control of identifying and holding your neutral scapulae position during a moment of stillness, you can better control the alignment of your scapula when you exercise and move. Gaining the knowledge and muscle control of your scapula will allow you to age stronger with exercise. --------------------------------------------------------------- CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW for EXERCISE FOR BETTER BONES --------------------------------------------------------------- https://bit.ly/2QWC0PL --------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL --------------------------------------------------------------- https://bit.ly/2ygFcPA ----------------------------------------- FREE COURSE on OSTEOPOROSIS and EXERCISE ----------------------------------------- https://bit.ly/38MzUbG ----------------------------------------- BOOKS on AMAZON ----------------------------------------- Exercise for Better Bones - Osteoporosis Exercise Program (Book) https://amzn.to/38K37UI Yoga for Better Bones - Safe Yoga for Individuals with Osteoporosis (Book) https://amzn.to/2TZVk0L Strengthen Your Core (Book) https://amzn.to/36xDvc1 ------------------------------------------- VIDEO WORKOUTS and TRAINING ON AMAZON PRIME ------------------------------------------- Stronger Bones, Stronger Body - Osteoporosis Exercise Video Workout https://amzn.to/2vqWAji Balance and Fall Prevention Exercise Training Video https://amzn.to/2O437a6 Yin Yoga for Osteoporosis Video https://amzn.to/2U2MT4D Aerobics Exercises for Osteoporosis Video | Season 1 https://amzn.to/3bl4bzP Aerobics Exercises for Osteoporosis Video | Season 2 https://amzn.to/2RaNfUK ------------------------------------------- VIDEO WORKOUTS and TRAINING ON VIMEO ------------------------------------------- https://bit.ly/3aQTMMD ----------------------------------------- FOLLOW MARGARET ----------------------------------------- Website: https://melioguide.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melioguide Medical Disclaimer All the information, content, and material presented in this video is for informational purposes only.
