Roll Ball Pectoral Release
Facing a wall, a massage ball pinned between the wall and the chest just in from the shoulder, the arm long down the wall; small shifts work the outer chest.
How to do it
Setup
Standing at an angle to a wall, a massage ball between the wall and the chest near the shoulder, that arm reaching down along the wall.
Steps
- Lean into the ball until it presses the chest.
- Step the feet a little to walk the ball across the muscle toward the armpit and back.
- Pause on a tender spot and breathe until it eases, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Ball on the collarbone or the breastbone: keep it on the muscle below the collarbone and in from the shoulder. Shoulder rolling forward as you lean: keep it back and down. Leaning with full weight at once: build the pressure slowly.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
