14th Secondary -- SMR Butterfly
Use this SMR exercise AFTER you do the Lats Roll and the Pecs Roll (or one of the Pecs Press alternatives).

This SMR exercise addresses all of the muscles between your shoulder blade and your spine (primarily the rhomboids). 

If you have trouble with neck, shoulder, or upper back pain then this exercise is for you!

Keep in mind that the pectoralis minor muscle is involved in everything you do that involves the shoulder blade.

You will likely benefit from loosening knots in the rhomboids region, but be sure you stretch out the pec minor or your issue is likely to come right back.

You should do this movement at least once every 2 weeks. (more often is better)
