Neural manipulation approach to the serratus anterior
Do you have an athlete that has poor scapular stability or lacks upward rotation?
Have a quick and lasting effect on function and mobility by treating the nerve first!
It’s all about a smarter approach, when the nerve isn’t able to freely glide and slide the motor output suffers.
The long thoracic nerve is the target here to improve the serratus anterior function and mobility.
1st understanding where the nerve is important and then freeing its pathway is the goal.
This is what I recommend:
✅ check range of motion in shoulder flexion and upward rotation and shoulder extension and downward rotation (measure where the inferior angle reaches- full ROM in UR is mid-axillary line!)
✅ check wall push up stability double arm and single arm
✅ check breathing quality and quantity
Interventions:
1️⃣ subclavis and pec self massage. Go slow, breathe, feel, and move arm and shoulder blade
2️⃣ coregous ball neck “make out” or 3rd base as my friend @yogatuneup says. Can do with hands or lean against wall. (Check my Vimeo if you need full instruction).
3️⃣ coregous ball and or Franklin smooth ball on distal end of LTN. Use breath and slight rotation to perform gentle self massage and mobility
❇️ if you are a sports healthcare provider or have one use a flexible silicon cup in these areas. The cup allows for a skin lifting technique which can be even more of a neural manipulation technique eliciting a relaxation and improved slide and glide.
4️⃣ clavicle mobility movement drill- create some space and movement
After interventions recheck! I improved in stability, strength, and range of motion just with a little work demonstration of for the videos!
