The Role of Protraction Retraction in C Joint Injuries

If somebody's had some sort of a c joint injury, we as physiotherapis can't impact the ligaments. However, we have this fabulous anatomical arrangement where deltoid and trapesis interdiditate with those ligaments at a deep level. We also know that our clavicular rotation is secondary to our scapular upward rotation. So again, it would make sense that if we really emphasize scapular rotation and protraction, then potentially we're reinforcing optimal mechanics at the joint.
