Shoulder Blades Stick Out
Ok my shoulder blades have always stuck out ever since I was a kid. Then I started weight training and climbing and now it just looks STRANGE
I was told scapular winging goes away if you strengthen your back but as you can see, my back is pretty strong from climbing and they still stick out.
I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Strengthening my back and chest hasn’t helped. I’ve tried doing serratus exercises but idek where I feel it. At this point I think I should see a physical therapist but it would probably be a waste of money tbh. Has anybody come up with a solution to this?
Not to mention my shoulders round forward.

You’re not tired. You’re slowly getting injured.
**You’re not tired. You’re slowly getting injured.**
# Read that again.
That neck pain? Not random. That back stiffness? Not “just age.” That wrist discomfort? Not because you worked hard today.
It’s because your body has been quietly taking damage… every single day.
And the worst part? You don’t even notice it happening.
**We’ve normalized this:**
•Working from beds
•Sitting for 8–10 hours straight
•Looking down at screens all day
•Ignoring pain until it becomes unbearable
Pain has become part of “normal work life.”
But here’s the truth no one tells you: **Your body keeps score.**
Every bad posture… Every ignored discomfort… Every “I’ll fix it later”…
It adds up.
Until one day: You can’t sit comfortably. You can’t work without pain. You can’t ignore it anymore.
And by then, it’s no longer a small fix.
The scary part? This is preventable.
Not with expensive chairs. Not with fancy setups.
**But with awareness.**
**Small changes. Done daily:**
•Raise your screen
•Sit like your spine matters (because it does)
•Take breaks before your body begs for them
Because once damage becomes chronic, you don’t “fix” it… you manage it.
Don’t wait for pain to teach you what awareness could have.

Literally pictures from August, this is how I stand. I can’t wear baggy jeans or leggings cause it’s so obvious when I’m walking that my legs are shaped differently. I really want to fix it, I didn’t realize how bad it was until I was 17 but that’s lowkey late. I struggle doing certain simple exercises cause of my legs

I notice my right shoulder blade looks off compared to the left one when i move my shoulder blades. I have been dealing with stubborn upper trap tightness on the right shoulder along with tightness on my necks right side. I also notice that i have better muscle control of my left scapula over my right one. I have been doing pt for two months but haven’t noticed much progress.
Any advice on what this could be?
Any exercise recommendations to fix this?
