Shoulder Blade Flexibility Techniques for Exercise Enhancement

Think of your shoulder blades as little wings that help you move your arms.

Sometimes they move forward (protraction) and sometimes backward (retraction).

When you do exercises like push-ups, knowing how your shoulder blades move is super important!

For example, in a push-up, pulling your shoulder blades together helps you go all the way down.

For another exercise, the deadlift, you have to keep the shoulder blades slightly apart to protect your back.

You can practice these movements by doing wall planks or using resistance bands.
