Program
introduction
Why have we created a Shoulder Fix Program? Shoulder
dysfunction is commonplace in training, specifically for
overhead movement. The shoulder girdle is a complex
system, which involves not only the shoulder (glenohumeral)
joint itself, but also the thoracic spine and scapulothoracic
joint (movement of the scapula on the thorax).
The Shoulder Fix Program is designed to improve shoulder
function by addressing proper mobility of the regions above
and below the shoulder and restoring optimal scapular
function. This program can replace your upper body training
and should be done 2-3 times per week. For optimal longterm results, the Mobilization and Activation blocks should be
performed as frequently as possible.

Program
Overview
This program is designed to restore scapular function and
movement quality of the shoulder complex for optimal
performance.
• The program is 12-weeks long
• The plan is designed as an upper body workout. Direct arm
training can be added as desired.
REHAB-U.COM
PHASE 1 | WEEKS 1-4
MOVEMENT RESTORATION / RE-PROGRAMMINGMMING
The main goal of Phase 1 of the Shoulder Fix Program is to
restore proper scapular function. Appropriate scapular motion
requires attention to soft tissue quality. The upper trapezius,
and pectoralis minor are common sites of myofascial tightness
and hypertonia and can limit normal scapular motion. Tight
and/or facilitated rhomboids can also maintain the scapula in
a position of elevation and downward rotation.
In the Mobilization block of Phase 1, attention is directed
towards addressing soft-tissue limitations and downregulating facilitated musculature that limits scapular motion.
Cervical and thoracic spine mobility are also addressed to
create optimal space for shoulder movement.
The Activation block focuses on accessing and controlling
scapular motion to create awareness and a mind-muscle
connection with the scapular muscles.
The Integration block utilizes open-chain stabilization in
positions that help avoid compensation via the scapular
elevators. This is also where we integrate appropriate
variations of the fundamental lower body movement patterns
exercises.

PHASE 2 | WEEKS 5-8
ACCUMULATIONG
In Phase 2 of the Shoulder Fix Program we shift the focus
to closed-chain scapular control and we start to progress
towards overhead movement. Normal overhead elevation
of the arm in flexion or abduction requires adequate length
of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major and
rhomboids.
To verify if your lats are tight, perform the following
lats length test.
To verify if your pecs are tight, perform the following
functional pec length test.
In the Mobilization block of Phase 2, attention is directed
towards soft-tissue limitations of the lats, pecs and/or
rhomboids, and active range of motion of the shoulder, with or
without assistance.
The Activation block shifts towards scapular activation,
targeting mainly the serratus anterior and middle and lower
traps.
The Integration block utilizes loads and positions towards
overhead progressions. This is also where we integrate
appropriate variations of the fundamental lower body
movement patterns exercises.

PHASE 3 | WEEKS 9-12
INTENSIFICATIONMMING
In Phase 3 of the Shoulder Fix Program, you get back to
overhead work, but in selected positions that ensure there is
no compensatory movement.
In the Mobilization block of Phase 3, the focus is on active
shoulder range of motion with the goal of maintaining the
ranges you have acquired in the first two phases.
The Activation block is meant to challenge and improve your
overhead stability to promote endurance and robustness.
The Integration block utilized loads and positions that
promote endurance for overhead movement, helping prevent
the breakdown of form. This is also where we integrate
appropriate variations of the fundamental lower body
movement patterns exercises.
