How can I effectively address pectoralis minor tightness to improve my overall flexibility and range of motion?
To effectively address pectoralis minor tightness and improve flexibility and range of motion, you can try stretching exercises specifically targeting the chest muscles, such as doorway stretches or foam rolling. Additionally, incorporating exercises that strengthen the muscles opposing the pectoralis minor, such as the upper back and shoulder muscles, can help restore balance and alleviate tightness. Regular stretching and strengthening routines, along with proper posture awareness, can help improve flexibility and range of motion in the chest area.
