Shoulder Girdle

Self-screens at this station

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 30 Sep 2026 Low

  Backpack Strap Mark Check

  Photograph yourself with the bag you actually carry. Where the strap crosses the shoulder, and whether the shoulders stay level, is the whole reading.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 27 Sep 2026 Moderate

  Wall Slide at Shoulder Height

  Forearms on the wall, sliding up. The reading is how far the wrists get before a shoulder blade lifts or the lower back has to arch to help.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 1 Oct 2026 Moderate

  Hand Behind Back Reach

  One hand up the spine, measured from C7. It is a combined movement — extension, internal rotation and scapular glide — and the two sides almost never match.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 23 Sep 2026 Moderate

  Prone Lift-Off Hold Time

  Face down, lift both shoulder blades, and time how long they stay up before the neck takes over. A capacity reading, not a position reading.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 24 Sep 2026 Low

  Supine Shoulder-to-Floor Gap

  Lie flat and measure the space under each shoulder. Gravity does the work, so the reading shows where the shoulder rests when nothing is holding it.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 14 Sep 2026 Moderate

  Acromion Plumb Photo

  A side photograph with the acromion and the greater trochanter both marked. The horizontal distance between them answers whether the shoulder is stacked over the hip.

• Rounded Shoulders Reviewed 23 Aug 2026 Low

  Doorway Hand-to-Wall Reach

  Arm at shoulder height, hand reaching back for the wall. The distance your middle finger misses it by is the reading, and the two sides rarely match.

  Wall Scapula Contact

  Back to the wall, shoulder blades lightly pressed. The reading is how many blades keep contact, and which one gives up first when the effort is released.
