What we help with
Winged Scapula Correction in Melbourne
When your shoulder blade won’t sit flat, retraining how it moves is the fix, not more shoulder exercises.
When your shoulder blade sticks out from your ribcage instead of gliding smoothly across it, that’s scapular winging, and it’s a common driver of shoulder, neck and upper-back pain.
Why this keeps happening
A winging scapula means the muscles that should anchor it to the ribcage aren’t firing in the right sequence. Isolated shoulder exercises often miss this, because the problem is coordination and position, not just strength.
How Functional Patterns Melbourne helps
Rather than chase the symptom, we assess your whole structure, gait, posture and breathing, to find the movement dysfunction driving it. A full 90-minute posture and gait assessment pinpoints the imbalances, then we retrain them with targeted, functional exercises so your body can hold a better position on its own.
What to expect
- A 90-minute posture and gait assessment to pinpoint the root cause.
- A personalised correction plan built around your body and goals.
- Guided training that rebuilds symmetry, strength and control, so the change lasts.
★★★★★
“I used to workout with heavy squats, deadlifts and benches complemented with a lot of mobility training. Without being aware this conventional training was causing anxiety, lots of biomechanical problems, knee pain, low back pain and a winged scapula, all these problems began with a little muscle discomfort getting worse year after year. A year ago I met Fiachra and he has changed the way I move through space, he also taught me how to take care of my body and move softly and painlessly.”
