 This SMR exercise more deeply addresses the 4 muscles that cross the shoulder joint on the backside of your body, plus numerous other muscles along the side & back of the ribs. If you have trouble with shoulder pain when you lift your arm, then this exercise is for you! Keep in mind that the lats and pectoralis minor muscles are involved in everything you do with the shoulder blade. You will likely benefit from loosening knots in the back of your shoulder & ribs, but be sure you stretch out the lats and the pec minor or your issue is likely to come right back. |
