Last Updated on Nov 08, 2021

Shoulder

Rounded shoulder can be caused by one of 3 problems, or a combination of all 3.

  1. Tight Pectoralis Muscles
  2. Weak Scapula Retractors (Rhomboids and middle trapezius)
  3. Thoracic kyphosis (rounding and stiffness of the thoracic spinal joints

These 3 exercises are designed to address the first 2 problems related to the scapula (shoulder blade).
