![[SCAPULAR ROLLOUTS - Overhead Shoulder Movement]➡️➡️
#tbt #mobilitymonday tip focuses on a mobility movement I call scapular rollouts. These can help enforce proper scapulothoracic rhythm and overall movement, and should be a staple for overhead athletes.
.
These are designed to promote upward and downward rotation of the scapulae. You will need a mini band to put around the hands, you will be externally pushing on this the entirety of the movement. While pushing against the band to activate the scapular musculature, you will roll your forearms up the foam roller on the wall and end by pushing your head through like the ending of an Olympic Jerk. This will isolate the scapular stabilizers that help act on the shoulder blade such as the upper, middle and lower trapezius muscles, levator scapulae, rhomboids, latissimus and serratus anterior.

I have brought Todd on to give me treatment 2x per week to address my past injuries, current limitations and prevent future injuries. The treatment includes instrument assisted scraping, cupping, myofascial release and various strengthening and mobility work. He has also programmed daily tissue activation routines to address what I need before taking big weights. I am starting to feel like myself again and am excited to get healthier through the work with Todd, even at 39 years old.

Rio Grande Track and Field
My senior year of track I developed complications with my sciatic nerve and it had a big effect on my running. Todd helped me rehab; successfully getting me healthy in time for the most important time of my season. He was my athletic trainer for volleyball, basketball, and track. Throughout the years he helped me and my teammates have healthy and successful seasons. Without his knowledge and care as an Athletic Trainer, I probably would not have been able to complete at the collegiate level today. I currently run track at the University of Rio Grande and even today I continue to utilize the stretches, lifts, and rehabbing Todd showed me my senior year of high school. He is not only a great Athletic Trainer but also a great mentor and role model to those around him.
Mike Diamond
Powerlifter
I had first come to Todd when I was visiting Old School Gym and he had been kind enough to work with me on a nagging glute issue stemming from a powerlifting meet a few months prior. I had sought out Chiropractic help, Massage therapy and even some self-care via YouTube. I couldn't seem to get it cleared up or figure out the exact source of the issue. When I explained this to Todd he knew exactly what it was. Within 5 minutes he had worked on my piriformis and the issue vanished almost immediately. Todd is by far the person I trust most to go to with any injury that I may encounter, he has helped me with glute issues, elbow issues and a handful of others via his content. He can point you straight to the problem and show you exactly how to fix it.
Brooks Holloway
Powerlifter
I developed a sharp pain in my glute about a month out from the IVB Push/Pull powerlifting meet. Todd helped me relieve a lot of that pain through mobility work and get me back on track. I was able to compete using a conventional stance in my deadlift, which was a first for me and set a new competition PR. I am now pushing toward a 500 pull and 500 squat after just turning 35 years of age and feeling stronger than ever thanks to guys like Todd.
