ok...went to the therapist yesterday and it was very interesting to say the least. i learned alot and i am happy that this guy know's what the hell he's talking about....he actually sat me down and spoke to me for about an hour about things we were going to try...stretching, working out, posture etc etc. he explained to me why i feel the way i do and not just what it is that is causing my pain.

i'm going to go twice a week after work and hopefully in 6 weeks i'll feel a little better. somethign that concerned me was when the doc asked if i had shoulder surgery...i replied yes...torn labrum...he told me my right scapula is noticeably smaller then my left...ok now i'm pretty pissed off .

i have no clue how to get this back to normal.....maybe i can use tre's help with this? not sure but i had my fiance take a pic of my back not flexed and i can tell the difference. so for me right now this is an issue that needs to be addressed. not sure how to get this back on par...

Where's the picture, and I am laughing.... O.k. ask yourself how a labrum tear equals a smaller shoulder blade?!?!? labrum = cartilage, shoulder blade = bone
That's like apples and oranges. I think the guy used the wrong terminology.
Maybe one shoulder blade wings out more... but that can be balanced out by manipulation...

you women are tough ...and that why i love ya lol!! pics will be here tomorrow...took some tonight...i'm fat and have a unbalanced scapula

tre- i think he may have said that the muscle around the scapula was noticeably smaller. and yes...one def sticks out more then the other...how can if fix this?

pictorals?

hmmm... maybe a quality deep tissue to loosen everything up and a back cracking will line you up?

I dunno about you, but ever since I got deep tissue.. my posture has improved Drastically... seriously. It's no shamless "plug" or anything... i'm serious... real results... I need another dang massage soon, my hands are going numb again... stoopid things.

they actually offer deep tissue massges at the physical therapy place i'm going to...unfortunately it's not covered under my insurance

it's def worth a try...

The muscle that causes the wingining is your Serratus Anterior. I haven't got to that muscle yet in my muscle anatomy thread but it attaches to the first 3-8 ribs give or take a rib depending on the individual, and attaches to the anterior side of the scapula. When the muscle is overly contracted the shoulder blade will begin to wing out. Not an abnormal thing to see on the table. A good quality Massage therapist can actually with a few treatments assist in bringing it back in by loosening specifically that muscle, and working with the other muscle imbalances around the shoulder blade. I'm not talking deep tissue massage. It's called specifically Neuro-muscular therapy and that's what I specialize in. As far as the shoulder imbalance and noticeably smaller muscles in the area.... I'm taking a general approach to what is typical.. but most people need to strengthen the posterior rotator cuff by doing a bent over row, or reverse pec dec machine shall help in that area. Simultaneously doing some chest stretching will help bring the shoulder back to its original position and not torqued forward by the stronger pec major muscles. It is about posture so the physical therapist is right for sure on that.
Still waiting on this picture

updated Pics From Last Night!!!!!!!!

- ok so i took a pic of my back not flexed last niight and it came out like shit...way too dark but it looked ok when i looked before i put it on the computer. anyway...there really isn't that big of a difference...nothign to really get a twist over....i'll have to yell at this guy who said that next time i go there.

anyway..184lbs now up from 163 a month ago...i can't believe i put on this much weight...not going to be fun stripping it away again but i want to be around 7.5%bf at that weight of 163 next time. i think i was a little under 9%bf at 163 before i started bulking. anyway...we'll see!

Bout time you got those pics up there
You're right though, kinda blurry so tough to see that "big difference" in size...
