Overview

In this lesson, we introduce PAILS and RAILS techniques for shoulder depression.

Objective

Gain understanding of how to build strength and control at the edges of shoulder depression range.

What You'll Get

You'll work with a two-phase loading protocol that stretches the upper trapezius while strengthening the lower trapezius and latissimus dorsi. This creates balanced shoulder mechanics and reduces the risk of impingement and strain. For professionals, it's a powerful intervention for students with chronic shoulder hiking or neck tension.
