Latisimus Dorsi Self Massage Pin and Stretch Trigger Point Therapy Massage

Pins and Needles in your hand, fingertips and forearm may be coming from tension in your Latisimus Dorsi at the posterior part of your armpit.

Using some easy self-trigger point techniques you can work on releasing muscle tension and give the nerves passing through the area more room.

Tension between the Latisimus Dorsi and other rotator cuff muscles can limit the space for the radial, ulnar and median nerves as they travel through the upper arm to the hand and fingers.

Use your opposite thumb and forefingers to grip the flesh under your armpit and feel for sections that are hard and tight. Gently squeeze the mass until you reach a seven out of ten level of discomfort. Wait for the pain level to drop to four out of ten and then move on to a new section. Repeat for 2 to 3 minutes and a few times a day until your symptoms start to subside.

You can also grip the muscle adhesion and then elevate your shoulder to floss the fibres through your grip.

This will help to break down fascial adhesions, increase bloodflow, reduce muscle tension an allow more space for the nerves to pass through your armpit into your forearm, hand and fingers.

It may take a few weeks to see the benefits, so try to do a little bit each day.

Finally found a video that has my problem, when i do this and push in with my fingers just behind armpit, theres a deep bruise pain... that hurts when i push it... i think this problem started from heavy chest press... at first i thought it was my shoulder but when i prodded around i found the pain was actually coming from that pressure point behind armpit... massageing the area hurts a lot in a good kinda way
