In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I had a chat with my good friend and colleague, Missy Bunch, on an Instagram live to unpack one of my favorite shoulder assessment clues: the armpit. We explore how scapular upward rotation, serratus anterior function, and glenohumeral hypermobility all influence what you see and feel during shoulder assessment. You’ll hear why many people appear to have full shoulder range of motion while quietly borrowing mobility from the wrong place, how serratus anterior dysfunction can hide in plain sight, and what happens when those compensations are left unchecked for years.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why a missing armpit can be a sign of poor scapular upward rotation
The relationship between the scapula, serratus anterior, and glenohumeral joint mechanics
How to assess scapular upward rotation and identify common compensations
A simple exercise I use to retrain scapular mechanics and improve upward rotation
The shoulder rarely works in isolation, and this episode will help you better assess shoulder function while understanding how small changes in scapular mechanics can create significant differences in long-term outcomes.
