scapula

Turns out he had some scapular issues and had to get surgery done to fix it.

Anything carrying more energy would likely have shattered his scapula, and gone clean through him.

The current recommendation is 5 blows to the back between the scapulae followed by 5 pushes on the sternum.

I've started getting pretty bad scapular pain that one day started impeding my work and it's a real pain to fix once it gets that bad.

Your report also calls into question your scapula and thoracic areas.

There are a ton of good youtube videos on scapular retraction, if you learn to do that and make it part of your routine you'll never have shoulder pain again.

There might well be a benefit in the lower back, but the scapula and trapezoids are particularly sensitive to desk work , and running is not going to help them.

External rotation at the shoulders is also important, as is scapular retraction and depression.

Strengthening my serratus anterior has helped so much, plus I can just feel my scapula moving so much more comfortably now when I reach overhead.

Sort out core, winged scapula and lower rhomboids first, then do the push exercises that develop pectorals, front deltoids etc, but make sure your back is always stronger for good typing and mouse posture is my suggestion

The insertion point for the pecs in the humerus draws closer to the mid-line as the arm is externally rotated and raised while at the same time the scapula is rotated up and out pushing the lateral border and all the meat away from the mid-line.

Programmers, and people working with computers in general, should really take better care of their neck, shoulders, scapulas, wrists etc. I just realized that the cobra[0] is in some ways the inverse of sitting down and is beneficial for "resetting" some effects of prolonged sitting.
