Foam Rolling Chest - Pec Major & Pec Minor

Foam rolling the chest at can help open the shoulders allowing you to work and workout with greater ease. This video discusses the difference in pain patterns for the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor and associated ways to target the trigger points in these muscles. The pecs consist of the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. When foam rolling these muscle use a lacrosse ball either on the wall or floor. I prefer putting the lacrosse ball in a doorway. This allows you to get more compression in the chest without smashing your face into the wall or floor. Pectoralis Minor: If you are trying to target the pec major place the ball just inside the shoulder and focus on forcing the ball into the wall and then allow the shoulder blade to roll backwards and down. Pectoralis Major: If you are wanting to target the pec major more incorporate arm motion. The pec major attaches to the upper arm bone. So by moving the hand up and down along the wall you will find restricted tissue in different ways than resting the arm down or toward the side. Want to watch our future videos just like this?
