Serratus Anterior - Trigger Point of the Week

Action: Rotates scapula for abduction and flexion of the arm. Protracts scapula (pulls it forward on the chest wall and holds it closely to chest wall), facilitating pushing movements such as push-ups or punching. Causes of TrP in the Serratus Anterior: Severe coughing attack (maybe correlated with emphysema), overuse in sports (e.g. tennis, swimming, boxing, pull-ups and push-ups, weight lifting, gymnastics), prolonged lifting of large heavy objects, anxiety. -- The Gold Standard in Myofascial Medicine, Trigger Points education & practice Founded in partnership with Neurologist Dr. Bob Gerwin.
