Watch And Learn: Hanging Scapular Depression

 

Welcome to Precision Performance, where we embark on a journey of discovery towards peak physical therapy results. Today, we’re immersing ourselves in the realm of Hanging Scapular Depression, a dynamic exercise poised to redefine shoulder strength. This simple but effective exercise is a common favorite for rehabilitation of shoulder injuries.

The Hanging Scapular Depression emerges as a cornerstone exercise, intricately designed to fortify the muscles enveloping the shoulder blades. Begin by suspending from a pull-up bar or suspension trainer, make your arms fully extended, now engage your shoulder blades downwards, towards your hips. This deliberate action ignites activation in the lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles, instilling a sense of stability and alignment within the scapular region. By utilizing Hanging Scapular Depressions, you strengthen and fortify your shoulders which are used in nearly all upper body movements. Versatile in its application, this exercise is great for athletes, people recovering from upper body injuries or those who need to strengthen their upper bodies.
