Three-Dimensional Scapular Mobilization (Side Lying)

To Stretch the Right Rhomboids:

• Patient is lying on their L side and the therapist is standing behind.
• The therapist reaches underneath the patient’s R arm and places their hand on top of the patient’s R scapula.
• The therapist’s L fingers reach under the superior medial border of the scapula.
• Using both hands the therapist draws the scapula inferiorly while upwardly rotating and abducting the scapula to stretch the rhomboids.
• The therapist maintains the stretch for 30 seconds and repeats 2 to 3 times.
