Detailed instructions for Wall Angels / Wall Slides coming soon.
A small RCT showed wall slide exercise improved scapular alignment and pain in scapular downward rotation population. Supportive observational work exists.
Evidence Type: Clinical studies
RCT support for improving scapular alignment and pain in specific populations.
May improve rounded shoulder appearance through scapular repositioning.
Wall slides/angels cue scapular upward rotation + posterior tilt with shoulder elevation, often biasing serratus/lower-trap patterning.
RCT population was narrow. If shoulder impingement/irritability, forcing full-range overhead wall angels can flare symptoms.
