Scapular Movers

Trapezius: Multi-functional muscle responsible for elevating, depressing, retracting, and rotating the scapula, playing a crucial role in shoulder movement and posture.
Levator Scapulae: Primarily elevates the scapula, assisting in shoulder shrugging and neck support.
Rhomboideus Major: Functions to rotate and retract the scapula, aiding in stabilizing the shoulder blade against the thoracic wall.
Serratus Anterior: Key in depressing and protracting the scapula, it also prevents scapular winging, ensuring proper shoulder mechanics during arm movements.
Pectoralis Minor: Works similarly to the serratus anterior, primarily depressing and protracting the scapula, impacting overall shoulder stability and function.
