The scapula or more commonly known as the shoulder blade, is one of the two bones that compose the "pectoral girdle", which connects the upper limbs to your body’s central framework (ribs and skeleton). It therefore serves as an attachment site for the muscles that produce arm motion and for the outermost back muscles.

So how are the shoulder blades related to my pelvic floor?

The scapular musculature plays a key role in posture and breathing patterns; thus, it is important for pressure management and postural strength .

Follow us this month and learn how to improve your scapular strength, mobility and posture, which can ultimately improved your quality of life.
