The internal rotators of the shoulder, such as the pectoralis major and subscapularis, tend to shorten and pull the shoulder inward, altering its biomechanics. Releasing them allows the humeral head to reposition itself, reduces impingement, and relieves overload on structures like the supraspinatus and its tendon. It's an essential part of treating shoulder pain at its root and preventing it from becoming chronic. . . . . . #fbviralreels #fbviral #shoulderpain #rotatorcuff #shoulderpain #homewo

By abducting the position to 130°, the stretching involvement of the pectoralis major muscle is minimized, and the subscapularis muscle is stretched the most. *130 degrees is a guideline We examined the angle at which the subscapularis muscle is stretched without involving the pectoralis major muscle in stretching, using seven therapists with no history of shoulder joint problems. Whether or not the pectoralis major muscle is being stretched is up to the receiver. #bpt #gpt #dpt #pt #muscle #mus
