BJJ, the scapula & shoulder pain. 6 essential exercises!

Shoulder pain and BJJ seem to go hand in hand. But they shouldn’t! There is one often overlooked, or at least misunderstood, area that has a huge impact on shoulder pain, injury and function…..the scapula.
From all the pulling, pushing and rounding of the shoulders we do in BJJ, its critically important that you have good stability, movement and function of the scapula.
In this video I’ll explain:
The importance of scapula in shoulder function and pain for BJJ
2 exercises to release the tissue in the back that can impede scapula function
How to build awareness of proper scapula position to relieve shoulder pain
How to “throw your hands up in the air” to activate the scapula
How to stretch the upper chest and activate the muscles in the back, to help prevent shoulder injury
How getting on all fours is one of the best, if the best, ways to activate the muscles around the scapula and build stability in the shoulder that’s very specific for BJJ

I think a white t-shirt or no t-shirt would be a way more visible to see the exact move.
