The No.1 Chest and Pecs Stretch | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

#mobility #pectorals #stretching

Searching for the best chest and pectorals stretch? Maybe its about shoulder posture, back pain, shoulder pain or simply just better mobility through the pectorals. Many have asked me what the best way to stretch out the pecs are, so here is my favourite one and have called it the No.1 of Chest and Pec stretches.

In this stretch you are aiming to get from a "T" shape to a "W" shape in the arms without your hands coming off the ground. The best is using a foam roller, but if' you're too tight - try it on the floor first, or if you find that even difficult try the doorway option. Have a good listen to all the cues and tips to help you get this one right - because it's a awesome stretch when you do!

Thank you for this video! I’ve struggled with winged scapula for the better part of my life.

When you had us adding elbows down into “W” shape, I felt my scapula properly aligning as well as stretching through the chest. Thank you! That doorway stretch leads to pins and needles and like you said isn’t a resting position so I couldn’t then go into calm breathing which for me is crucial to these longer stretches that are very much like holding a yoga position.

I lie flat on the ground and when I do this, I feel a ton of stretch around my mid arm and forearm. It leaves tingles in the thumb and pointer finger

6:26 yea you've got to constantly drive through to keep the pressure for the stretch.
Engage the hips+abs.
What do you think about the one where you push down with one arm into, say a table?
(Drive + push down with the whole body.)
A colleague showed it to me and it was very needed!

Wow I need to hold this longer then I thought...thanks

Could you do a video on the Brugger postural exercise? The videos I find are not consistent, squeeze scapula together or not, etc.

Hey doc, I've had a tight chest that has caused my shoulders to round for well over a year, did physiotherapy but it only improved temporarily. I tried this stretch and i immediately felt a difference in my shoulder but I've noticed that my traps get really sore and tight after this stretch, is that normal? Or am i doing it wrong?
