Learn how to properly perform shoulder scaption in this comprehensive step-by-step instructional video from the Brookbush Institute. This evidence-based video provides expert coaching on setup, form, and exercise modifications (including progressions and regressions) to safely build shoulder strength and enhance scapular stability. Perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and rehabilitation clients seeking to improve shoulder function, prevent injury, and master proper scaption technique.

Shoulder Scaption

This is Brent Brookbush, President of B2C, and we're going to talk about resistance training for the shoulder. Now, the first exercise in our relative flexibility progression is scaption. I'm going to have Salvina come out and help me demonstrate this exercise. First thing that I'm going to have Salvina do is demonstrate a lateral raise to show the difference between the lateral raise and scaption. So a lateral raise comes straight out to the side. This does create some problems for the shoulder, especially for those individuals who have any sort of flexibility issue, or any sort of upper body dysfunction. Scaption, however, we're going to go in the plane of the scapula, so that's about 30 degrees anterior to a lateral race, and we're going to externally rotate the humerus. Now what these two things do; moving forward and externally rotating the humerus, is they move the supraspinatus tendon out of the way of the acromion shelf, reducing the chance that we're going to impinge and inflame tissues, as well as being in this plane reduces the need for upward rotation of the scapula, so even in individuals that have a flexibility issue in their upper body, they can do this without reinforcing a compensation pattern. Now, to get to the form of this exercise, we're going to follow the same check points that we always do for all of our resistance training. We're going to make sure our feet are parallel and hip width. Make sure that the feet, knees, and hips stack nicely over the top of each other. She's drawn in, glutes are tight, she's tucked under. If we have any sort of anterior pelvic tilt, we can get that to neutral. She's going to retract and depress her scapula. I'll give Salvina  some weight here. Then go ahead and have her demonstrate scaption. We'll see she has very nice form so now Salivna can perform this exercise for the amount of reps that I'd like to perform it at, and for the number of sets that I might have her perform it for. We can go ahead and progress this exercise. So our first stability progression is just to go on to a single leg. Of course, we could then move to two legs unstable, and a single leg unstable. We have our upper body stability progression as well. So you can go from two arms, to alternating, and then, of course, to unilateral. And then we can mix up the lower body stability progressions and the upper body stability progressions. The next move would be to go to single a unilateral scaption. Thank you.

Shoulder Exercise and Shoulder Pressing Progressions

Start with the client or patient assuming good standing or sitting form/posture.

2nd toe pointing forward and under the ASIS

Pelvis neutral (absence of anterior or posterior pelvic tilt)

Torso, scapula, and head in neutral alignment

Ask your client or patient to raise their arms in the scapular plane with the elbows near full extension, and a neutral grip (thumb side of the hand up).

The scapular plane is 30 degrees anterior to the frontal plane, between a front raise and lateral raise. Demonstrating this angle for your patient or client prior to the exercise is recommended.

Note: Scaption is most easily performed using dumbbells; however, bands and cables are also effective.

It is often necessary to cue scapular depression and protraction to promote optimal scapula upward rotation without excessive elevation.

Generally, this exercise is performed with the goal of achieving 90 degrees or more of shoulder scaption (flexion/abduction).

Once the client or patient has achieved the desired range of motion, cue the client or patient to control a slow descent back to the starting position.

Have your client perform a “form/posture check” and make any necessary adjustments.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

 Unstable loads, unstable environments, single-leg stance, single-leg stance on unstable environments
