Inadequate scapular posture


Many shoulder pains occur due to changes in the position of the scapula at rest or during movement, that is, the person cannot control this movement in relation to the back. The scapula is responsible for connecting and transmitting energy between the trunk and the scapular waist and originates several muscles. 




A simple movement such as extending clothes on the clothesline or writing and erasing the slate when it is performed improperly with the wrong scapular posture can cause several types of pain causing some symptoms after some time.







 Examples:
 • Pain around the scapula
• Loss of strength of the limb on the affected side with difficulty raising the arm above the shoulders
• Tingling in the arm
 • Crackles in the upper arm





• Compression of neuro-vascular structures that innervate and irrigate the entire upper limb
• Tendonitis
• Bursites



 This is because when raising the arm above the shoulder line with the scapula in an inadequate posture, the acromion bone presses on the neuro-vascular structures that innervate and irrigate the entire upper limb against the humerus bone causing microlesions.
