shoulder

The shoulder is the most mobile joint, which requires good team work from a number of different muscles. If your shoulder isn’t functioning optimally it can lead to shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injuries, and even contribute to elbow, wrist, and neck problems.

Muscles prone to tightness:

  1. Levator scapula

  2. Upper trapezius

  3. Pecs

Muscles prone to weakness:

  1. Middle trapezius

  2. Lower trapezius

  3. Serratus anterior
