Detailed instructions for Face Pulls coming soon.
No RCTs isolating face pulls for posture, but scapular-focused strengthening programs show moderate evidence for reducing pain and improving function in subacromial pain.
Evidence Type: Systematic review + RCTs
Strengthens posterior shoulder and scapular muscles. Part of shoulder health protocols.
May improve rounded shoulder appearance and upper back muscle development.
Posterior shoulder + scapular retractor strengthening may improve scapular positioning and reduce excessive anterior shoulder posture.
Form matters: if upper traps dominate (shrugging), may worsen neck tension. If impingement flares overhead/abduction, keep range/load conservative.
