Releasing Impossible Infraspin. and Teres min.

[?kisses ?]

Hi,

Can anyone give me any tips for releasing infraspin. and teres min please (shoulder ext rotators)? I have tried trigger point and got some release but not much they are still really hard. [&o]

Are there any techniques I can use that put the muscles on stretch during therapy or has anyone had successful results using a different techniques.

Many thanks in advance!
regards
Rich

Hiya Rich... if these muscles are not releaseing...check out the antagonists and surrounding muscles. The external rotators can be affected by posture, release all the opposites. In general anyway, these muscles usually hurt on most people. The trigger ppints may be satelites/secondaries also.
I find lying on a foam roll works.

see you

soft tissue release is normally quite helpful in getting an initial release on very tight muscles which will incorporate a stretch and contraction. I agree with Ruth this muscles are normally painful for a lot of people also and I am not saying this is the case with yourself but for instance my forearm muscles are very well developed and strong and if I cant get my usual chap to massage me and have to make do they will often say oh this is really tight when actually its just very well worked out and strong so depending on what they do for a living or hobby you may find they feel tight but in fact they are very well toned...also something to consider is that sometimes when an area locks up like that it is because it is overdoing a support role for a weakened area elsewhere, so do have a hunt around....

Hi Ricardo, is their range of movement resticted/painfull? in addition to above try some strain counterstrain techniques V GENTLY to begin with then some stretches and build from there.

Hi

Thanks for the replies to date.

Hi Stephen. Yes their range of movement is restricted, but not painful at all - does this make a difference?

Many thanks
Rich.
