Roll Ball Scapula Levator

Perform the Roll Ball Scapula Levator to enhance shoulder stability and mobility.

  1. Start seated with your legs extended and the roll ball positioned behind your back.
  2. Engage your core and lean back slightly, allowing your shoulder blades to retract.
  3. Gently roll the ball up and down your upper back, focusing on the scapula area.
  4. Maintain a controlled motion, ensuring your neck remains relaxed.

How to perform the Roll Ball Scapula Levator

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Roll Ball Scapula Levator using your roller.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your latissimus dorsi.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your latissimus dorsi rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
