How it works

Neck tension during horizontal reaching is mainly attributed to limited scapular protraction options. — Reaching Mechanics, Hand Health, and Arthritis Pain
A well-functioning horizontal reach requires the scapula to move around the rib cage rather than elevate upward. — Reaching Mechanics, Hand Health, and Arthritis Pain
A depressed sternum or depressed pump handle presentation can reduce the scapula's ability to glide around the rib cage. — Reaching Mechanics, Hand Health, and Arthritis Pain
Keeping the sternum parallel to the reaching surface is used as a cue to preserve scapular protraction options. — Reaching Mechanics, Hand Health, and Arthritis Pain
Poor pressure management between the lower thorax and pelvis can limit thoracic variability and perpetuate reaching compensations. — Reaching Mechanics, Hand Health, and Arthritis Pain
