SCAPULAR RETRACTION TEST (SRT) The SRT is second symptom modification test in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. During the test, your stabilize you patient´s scapula in a retracted position and prevent forward tilting. If symptom alteration can be achieved by the SRT, one might assume that scapular strengthening can have a positive impact on the patients shoulder symptoms. | Physiotutors

💪 Scapular Retraction – Anatomy in Action We explore the anatomy of scapular retraction, highlighting the muscles and movements involved in drawing the shoulder blades toward the spine. 📚 It’s part of the Anatomy Programme on Physiopedia Plus, ideal for clinicians and students focused on upper body mechanics and postural control. 👉 Subscribe to access the full programme: https://members.physio-pedia.com/why-physioplus/ #ScapularRetraction #ShoulderAnatomy #AnatomyProgramme #PhysiopediaPlus #J

Why Train Scapular Retraction? 🏋️‍♂️🦴 Most people focus on pulling with their arms, but neglect the crucial role of the scapula in upper-body strength and shoulder health. 💪 The Cable Scapular Retraction specifically targets the rhomboids and middle trapezius, muscles that are key for stability, control, and efficient pulling mechanics. 🦾 Pro Tip: Don’t just pull with your hands. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together. 👐 This shifts the effort from your arms to the muscles that st
