What it concludes

• Proper serratus anterior function allows for protraction and upward rotation of the scapula, facilitating shoulder flexion and overall shoulder stability.
• Using common cues like keeping shoulder blades down and back when overused can shut off the serratus anterior and cause dysfunction.
• Active self-myofascial release for the pecs helps inhibit hypertonic muscles, allowing the serratus anterior to fire better.
• Applying pressure through the palm of the heel during scapular pushups helps activate scapular stabilizers and the serratus anterior.
