Scapular stability is a must when performing arm exercises, but often the shoulder girdle is so locked up that it is hard to locate neutral shoulder placement. It is only by exploring the shoulder and surrounding tissues that clients will be able to understand where they are in space, then eventually how to best achieve biomechanical alignment (alignment of the feet, knees, hips, and spine).

This is a process, however, not a quick, easy fix, so you as a teacher must arm yourself with some tools and tricks to make scapular stability accessible to all clients. The foam roller is the perfect means to explore the upper core in movement, as well as challenge proprioception. It will help anyone achieve solid scapular alignment.
