They are the forgotten greats. Yet they guide posture, as well as promoting the efficiency of movements. They are the scapular muscles: to understand why we reinforce them we rely on Doctor Giuseppe Falvella, physiotherapist specialized in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. “When we talk about training and physical preparation – explains the expert – many times the attention is focused on leg exercises, as if they were the only ones responsible for optimal athletic performance. However, a fundamental and often overlooked part of the body is the scapular district, which includes the muscles surrounding the upper part of the back, the shoulders and the neck. Strengthening these muscles not only helps improve posture and stability, but also brings significant benefits to overall performancealso affecting the lower part of the body.”
