Why is scapular mobility so important


Why is scapular mobility important? Scapular mobility is important because the scapula should be pliable and not "tight". Causes of a tight scapula are injury, rotator cuff surgery, trauma, poor posture. All of these situations affect the ability of the scapula to upwardly rotate on the thorax.

Muscularly, there is a force couple, where two or more muscles together cause upward rotation of the scapula--these include the trapezius(specifically the low trapezius) mid trapezius, and serratus anterior. How do you strengthen the low trapezius and Serratus Anterior?
