Foam Roller Exercise: Chest / Anterior Shoulder

Chest workouts get a lot of attention in most people’s workout routines, which is great to strengthen the pecs but sometimes the chest gets overworked, and the muscles become tight. This muscle tightness can pull your shoulders forward creating a slouched posture. This poor posture will also inhibit your t-spine rotation. A tight chest can lead to poor shoulder and scapula mobility as well as upper back, shoulder and neck pain.

• Place the foam roller on the ground perpendicular to you. Then lie on top of it so that it’s against your upper chest.
• Reach your top arm out in front of you, then roll back and forth 2-3 inches on your chest targeting tight areas
• Roll on each pec for 1-2 minutes
