OPENING OF THE SCAPULAR BELT

The shoulder girdle or chest girdle allows great rotation of the arm joint. Mobility between the shoulder blades, shoulders, humerus and collarbones work all the muscles that connect them such as the deltoid, the main actor in shoulder mobility, arm elevation and internal and external rotation. We also use the serratus anterior, which holds the scapula in place when lifting heavy loads with the arm, as well as many other muscles such as the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major or pectorals.

At the physical level, this sequence helps strengthen the shoulders, relax the trapezius, roll the shoulders back better and erase the bump (of the worker) in the upper back nowadays which is often too pronounced (hypercyphosis). As we use our arms, our muscles become exhausted and weakened, which is why we must strengthen and open this area to avoid tendonitis in the shoulders and prevent possible muscle contractures within the belt. scapular.

On the mental level, the relaxed shoulders go down, the tensions decrease, the neck relaxes and the stress is released more quickly.

Deep exhales also help clear the mind even when done through the mouth.
