The program should be done with 2-4 sets of each exercise, 2-5 times per week. This is best done one set at a time, going through all the exercises once and then starting over with the next set. You should continue this program until you’ve gained control of the shoulder blade and have been free of symptoms for 3 months.

Chest to shoulder muscle energy technique – find the maximal stretch and hold for 7 second while pressing against the wall with no visible movement. Then increase the maximal stretch. Repeat for 3-5 times per arm.

Minor chest to shoulder muscle energy technique – find the maximal stretch and hold for 7 second while pressing against the wall with no visible movement. Then increase the maximal stretch. Repeat for 3-5 times per arm.

Shoulder abduction muscle energy technique – find the maximal stretch and press the elbow against the hand for 7 second with no visible movement. Then increase the maximal stretch. Repeat for 3-5 times per arm.

Neck to shoulder muscle energy technique – find the maximal stretch and press the head against the hand for 7 second with no visible movement. Then increase the maximal stretch. Repeat for 3-5 times per side.

Neck shoulder rotation muscle energy technique – find the maximal stretch and push the chin lightly against the hand for 7 second with no visible movement. Then increase the maximal rotation. Repeat for 3-5 times.

Chest and shoulder mobilization – do the exercise with as big a range of motion as possible. Repeat 15-30 times.

Back and shoulder mobilization sweep – try to keep the elbow and hand on the ground for the entire sweeping motion. Repeat whole exercise 15-30 times.

Upper back stability mobilization – 15-30 repetitions where the neck is raised to maximum backwards lifting until you feel tension between the shoulder blades. The neck is then returned down towards the ground / mat. Important is that the neck is made long so that there is no backwards bending of the neck.

Shoulder hip stability – 15-30 repetitions per side.

Shoulder blades stability (medium) – 15-30 repetitions, depending on strength and pain limit.

Shoulder blade control – 2×15 repetitions. Focus on rotating the shoulder blade 15 times clockwise and 15 times anti-clockwise in all 3 positions.

Shoulder stability mobilization – 15-30 repititions per arm. Try to lift the arm as high as possible, and hold it there before bringing back alongside the head.
