What are some good exercises for a winged scapula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periscapular sets: A winged scapula is caused by the paralysis of one of the muscles that holds the scapula down to glide along the rib cage. Many of these problems resolve within 18 months, so an exercise program to strengthen the other periscapular muscles is appropriate. After 18 months a tendon transfer can be performed to replace the now dead muscle.
