Crossed Shoulder Lift, Start Position
Crossed Shoulder Lift, End Position
What it does:-
- Muscle rebalancing such that the upper trapezius and levator scapulae
do not dominate over the lower trapezeus, and the rhomboideus does not dominate over the
serratus anterior.
- Stated another way, it encourages the scapula to adopt its proper central positioning
and sound movement patterns.
Proper scapular positioning is the foundation of all shoulder therapeutic exercises.

Watch Points
- Zip and hollow and maintain pelvic neutral!
- Breathe wide and full!
- Gently apply the scapular anchor, but otherwise stay relaxed!
