Shoulder flexion with scapulothoracic control

Active shoulder flexion with focus on scapular control.

• standing upright, keep the chest wide, shoulders relatively relaxed.
• keeping the arm straight, raise the straight arm upwards to the comfortable range, then return to the start position.
• focus on keeping your shoulder blade in good contact with your thorax (ie: avoid excessive hiking or winging of the scapula).
• repeat as needed.
