Scapular Dyskinesis Relief in St. George, Utah
Scapular Dyskinesis occurs when the delicate balance of your shoulder muscles is disrupted, leading to abnormal strain on the rotator cuff and irregular shoulder movement. The shoulder joint, made up of the scapula, clavicle, and humerus, relies on coordinated muscle activity for support and stability. When these muscles fail to work harmoniously, it can result in pain, dysfunction, and even structural issues.
Scapular Dyskinesis is often linked to Upper Crossed Syndrome, a condition caused by a pattern of tightness and weakness in the neck and shoulder muscles. Poor posture, such as sitting at a desk for long periods, or overtraining the pectoral muscles can lead to this imbalance. Tight pectoral muscles pull the shoulders forward, while the muscles that stabilize the scapula become stretched and weakened, leading to improper shoulder blade movement.
The Impact of Poor Muscle Coordination on Your Shoulders
Think of how your biceps and triceps work in opposition to balance arm movements. Similarly, when your pectoral muscles become tight from poor posture or overuse, they force the scapular muscles to adapt by becoming weak. This lack of balance impairs the scapula's ability to stabilize the shoulder during movement, resulting in discomfort and dysfunction.
