Supraspinatus Muscle


ACTION: abducts the humerus (lifts the arm) REFERRAL: lateral shoulder and arm

COMMENTS: This muscle runs under the clavicle, attaching to the top of the humerus. It pulls the arm out to the side. The supraspinatus and deltoid are the only two muscles that lift the arm to the side (the trapezius helps to stabilize and helps after 90 degrees). If strained, it can mimic subacromial bursitis. To work the muscle belly, you must work through the trapezius. This is one of the 4 rotator cuff muscles.

ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES: (acronym SITS) Subscapularis, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Supraspinatus

In this case, it might be better to start an organic
vegetable garden in a raised bed. 5 will decrease
the availability of lead from your soil. Again, using
companion planting techniques will help your organic garden flourish.
