Serratus Wall Slide with Foam Roller
How to Do:
- Stand facing a wall, holding a foam roller horizontally with both hands. Rest your forearms on the roller, elbows bent at 90 degrees.
- Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, back straight, and core engaged. Lean slightly into the wall with light pressure on the roller.
- Slowly slide the foam roller upward by extending your arms, keeping your forearms in contact with the roller and the wall.
- Pause briefly at the top, then slowly return to the starting position while maintaining control.
- Inhale as you slide up, exhale as you return.
Benefits:
The serratus wall slide with a foam roller strengthens and stabilises the shoulders while improving mobility. It activates the serratus anterior, enhancing scapular stability and shoulder function.
This exercise improves shoulder mobility and posture by counteracting rounded shoulders and promoting an upright stance. It reduces the risk of shoulder injuries, improves overhead movements, and supports rehabilitation for shoulder impingement or discomfort.
Ideal for athletes and those seeking better posture or shoulder health, this movement is low-impact and easy to include in any workout or rehabilitation routine.
