Me: ā€œCan you relax for me?ā€

Patient: ā€œI am relaxed.ā€ ā€¦ while actively fighting back any way they can.

Every PT gets it.

šŸ’ŖYour serratus anterior does a lot more than you might think. šŸ’Ŗ

This muscle plays an important role in scapular stability, shoulder blade control, and overhead movement by helping the scapula move smoothly along the rib cage.

Here, weā€™re challenging that control with:

ā†’ SA Plank + Kettlebell Slides
ā†’ TRX Pikes
ā†’ Physioball Saws

Notice that all three are closed-kinetic-chain (CKC) exercises, where the hands or arms remain supported while the rest of the body moves.

That support can provide additional feedback, making it easier to feel and control the position of the shoulder blade. As that control improves, exercises can progress toward open kinetic chain (OKC) movements, where the arm moves freely, and the scapula has to maintain control with less external support.

Sometimes the most useful cues are also the simplest:

ā€œPush the floor away.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t sink through your shoulders.ā€
ā€œKeep your shoulder blades active.ā€

Simple cues. Better awareness. Stronger shoulder control.
