Chest Muscle Stretches

Stretch the chest muscles and anterior ribcage muscles to reduce muscle tension, improve upper body posture, increase shoulder range of motion and heighten shoulder function. Tightness in the chest muscles pulls the shoulders forward into poor posture, rotates the scapulae away from the thoracic spine, limits shoulder range of motion and promotes incorrect movement patterns. … Read the rest

Five Midback Strengthening Exercises

Stabilize the shoulder complex and improve posture with midback strengthening exercises. Consistent focused training to strengthen the thoracic spine muscles and the scapular retractor muscles improves health, fitness and posture. The thoracic paraspinal muscles extend the thoracic spine. The rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, middle trapezius and lower trapezius retract the scapulae. Strengthen these muscles to … Read the rest

Three Shoulder Stretches

Stretch the shoulder to reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion and enhance function. The shoulder complex contains four joints (Glenohumeral joint, sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic joint) and numerous muscles (Deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, trapezius, coracobrachialis, subclavius, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and several more). … Read the rest

Posterior Deltoid Strengthening Exercises

Strengthen the posterior head of the deltoid muscle to develop proportional shoulder strength. The deltoid possess three heads anterior, lateral and posterior. Often times the anterior and lateral heads are stronger than the posterior head. Powerful shoulder require all three heads to be trained properly.

Origin: Scapular spine

Insertion: Deltoid tuberosity

Concentric Actions: … Read the rest
