Protracted shoulder?  Front of shoulder pain?


Try this simple two-step technique for pectoralis minor.

You only need a door jam and a lacrosse ball. ​

​1.  Palpate the muscle to find tender fibers.  Use a lacrosse ball and softly press into a door jam.   Attempt to move your shoulder across your body in a downward, inward fashion.

This motion is to bring your shoulder medial and allow the firmness of the ball to apply pressure to the tender area.  Be mindful that pressure is not overexerted as it is unnecessary and may be uncomfortable.

2.  Release the ball and and grasp the door jam.  Lean gently into a stretch, relaxing the muscle.

Repeat the techniques patiently and notice if the pain or tension is resolved.​

This exercise works well with pectoralis minor and other muscles in the shoulder region.  

Many contract/relax techniques can be used to rectify some everyday symptoms associated with chronic pain.  This is merely one exercise that can prove beneficial to treating pain referral associated with pec minor.
