Roll Ball Infraspinatus
Standing with a massage ball pinned between the wall and the back of the shoulder blade, small knee bends roll it over the infraspinatus.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a wall, the ball between the wall and the flat of one shoulder blade, feet a step out from the wall.
Steps
- Bend and straighten the knees a little to roll the ball over the shoulder blade.
- Bring the working arm across the chest to open the spot further.
- Pause on a tender point and breathe until it eases, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Ball on the spine: keep it on the flat of the shoulder blade. Pressing hard from the first pass: build the pressure slowly. Rolling into a sharp or tingling pain: move off the spot.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
