Glad you like Assess and Correct and Inside-Out. Use them in good health.

What do you think about nick tumminellos updated “LYTP” set? He mentions that with the “y” you want to actually reach out in front of you rather than depressing the scaps. He says that recent research states that reaching out reflexively activates the lower trap more. Thoughts? Thanks.
By the way I love the new assess and correct and inside out DVDs…they’ve helped me and my clients out a great deal!

The correction will depend on whether it’s a strength/flexibility issue, motor control,or both. For instance, decreased activation of serratus anterior, your primary upward rotator, may promote the downward rotation. In this case, it’s not a strenth issue but simply a matter of facilitating the serratus. There are several methods to address this. Some may present with a lengthening of upper trap, kyphosis, or other postural adaptation that negatively affects scapular function. If you’re on your on this, the I’s, L’s, T’s, Y’s, etc. and wall slides front and back may give you some benefit. If you don’t feel like you’re making gains, see a pro who can assess you directly.

I’m a golfer who has read/watched many of your resources and articles. Question about downward rotation syndrome- that would have a significant impact on a golfer’s swing- Would it not?

Any tips on how to correct it?

Thanks,

Great exercise.

There is a lot of research backing up this exercise.

I use it more to focus on activation and endurance of the lower trapezius.

This is one of the exercises that I have in my scapular stabilization exercise program
