💪 Shoulder Strength 101: The Serratus Anterior
The serratus anterior is a key muscle we target often in physical therapy. It helps with scapular protraction, upward rotation, and stabilizing the shoulder blade against the rib cage — all essential for healthy shoulder mechanics. 🦴✨

When this muscle isn’t doing its job, the shoulder can lose stability — especially during overhead movements. Strengthening the serratus can make a big difference for:
✅ Overhead athletes (e.g., swimmers, throwers, lifters)
✅ Desk workers with rounded shoulders or poor posture
✅ Post-op shoulder patients (like rotator cuff repairs)
✅ Anyone dealing with shoulder impingement or scapular winging

Building a strong serratus anterior means building a more stable, efficient, and pain-free shoulder. 💥

Are you someone who works or studies at a desk frequently? Try this 1-minute routine next time your back starts to ache or your posture begins to slouch.

This quick sequence is perfect for some instant relief and to boost your thoracic mobility — all while staying seated! 🙌

At NBSM, we believe that “your next posture is your best posture.”
In other words: get up, move often, and don’t stress about being perfectly upright all day. A good ergonomic setup helps, but movement is what really keeps you feeling your best. 💪

NBSM is now offering team based services! These include team dietitian sessions, team functional movement screens and pre/post season physicals.

We understand the need in making sure your bodies are operating at peak performance and want to help you make it happen!

Pre/Post Season Physicals: Our Sport Medicine physicians, Dr. Lougheed and Dr. Lemenchick, are here to perform your season physicals, at both the beginning of the season to flag potential health or safety concerns, as well as at the end of the season to identify areas that might need some extra attention. Their assessments include completion of a health questionnaire and a focused physical exam.  

Functional Movement Screens: Vickie Grierson, PT, CSCS, FMSC, is certified in providing Functional Movement Screens. These screens look at fundamental movement patterns and can identify limitations.  The Team FMS consists of 5 stations where each athlete will be assessed and the team is provided with a report to help guide training.

Dietetics Sessions: Tara Blake, our Sport Dietitian, is prepared to help your team fuel their bodies. With her carefully planned team sessions your athletes will better understand macro needs, snack and meal ideas, and game day nutrition. She will help your players understand food is fuel!
