Episode 51: Scapulothoracic Series (1/7) - Open binder & windmill movement The time has come to address your poor posture and forward shoulders. The next handful of posts are going to be focused on the scapulothoracic region. Everyone must appreciate and understand this region's influence on mechanics above and below. This series will have an effect on the direct area As well as your shoulders, neck, and even your lumbar spine. To start the series I am showing you one of my favorite exercises to address joint mobility AND muscle length deficits. The first exercise is focusing on thoracic rotation, hence open the binder. The next exercise is a 3 for 1. Utilizing arm movement to initiate the movement you're improving thoracic rotation, following by going through your shoulder flexion/abduction range you're stretching your pec major sternal and clavicular fibers, pec minor, and your lats. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to BREATHE during this exercise. Thoracic spinal rotation is dependent on rib movement and if you hold your breath, this movement could feel discomforting, and you increasing the chance of a muscle spasm. Take a deep breath through your nose prior to rotating and exhale during the movement. NOTE- at the end of your range you will achieve posterior tilt of the scapula, which is an essential movement to reduce anteriorly tilted scapulae and associated 'forward shoulders'. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post! #scapula #shoulder #thoracic #pecstretch #forwardshoulders Performed with the @chadwaterbury T ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human performance and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your movement system in tune one post at a time.

Side lying half arm circle _______________________________ This drill is to improve thoracic rotation, mechanics of the diaphragm, and shoulder mobility. One of my favorite starting moves for clients with tight pecs / lats / shoulders. Lie down on your side in the fetal position and arms out in front if you with something to squeeze between your legs and something to rest your head on. Start by squeezing the groin muscles and the pelvic floor to prevent the hips and lumbar spine from rotating. Then begin to raise one arm in a windmill fashion up and around the body. Your back will rotate down to the floor and your chest/armpit will open up to the ceiling. Begin to inhale as you start to twist open and exhale when you reach your end position. Pause in the stretched open position with the arms dircetly in line with each other, and then rotate your torso and arm back to the starting position so your top hand lies on top of the other. Reset your breath as you bring the palms to touch. This is one rep. Perform all reps on one side and then the other. #shouldermobility #shoulderwarmup #pecstretch #mobilitydrill #deepbreathing #deepbellybreath #thoracicrotation _______________________________ Kempf Fitness Professional is an online training platform that was designed to bring you valuable information and coaching to improve your health, fitness, and overall life quality.
