self-administered static release of the pec minor.

00:00:0900:00:13

We already have Mike in position here, he's doing his right pec minor, but I'm

00:00:1300:00:16

going to have him go ahead and kneel up, and we're going to show you how we got in this

00:00:1600:00:20

position. Now, just a little background, Mike has a

00:00:2000:00:25

little bit of upper-body dysfunction, protracted shoulder girdle.

00:00:2500:00:29

Our pec minor is a protractor of the shoulder girdle, and a downward

00:00:2900:00:34

rotator. Downward rotation is also part of that dysfunction. It gets very short, very

00:00:3400:00:39

tight, very overactive, so we want to use a release technique to get it to relax.

00:00:3900:00:45

This muscle runs from coracoid process to ribs three, four, and five. Now, although

00:00:4500:00:49

most people use foam rolls to get at their trigger points, we're going

00:00:4900:00:53

to go ahead and use a soft ball because a foam roll is just a little too broad for

00:00:5300:00:57

this area. It doesn't fit in this cavity just underneath your clavicle, and just

00:00:5700:01:03

medial to your anterior delt. So a soft ball, placed here, we're going to have

00:01:0300:01:07

him roll around and find the most tender spot in that small area, I'll have him

00:01:0700:01:13

put his arm on stretch, and then just for comfort, use his opposite hand as a pillow.

00:01:1300:01:18

Let's go ahead have you demonstrate on your other side.

00:01:2000:01:24

Now, once Mike finds the spot, we're going to make sure he doesn't fidget or roll

00:01:2400:01:29

around. We want to make sure we hold on that point until we get a release. That's

00:01:2900:01:37

going to be 20 to 30 seconds, or possibly up to 2 minutes. How does that feel Mike? -I can definitely feel that.
