PNF CHEST STRETCH

This is a peripheral neuromuscular facilitation technique that is used to stretch the pectoralis minor and major muscles. In a doorway or squat rack place your upper arm along the frame and step forward with the opposite leg. Do this to pull the body forwards to feel a stretch in the chest. Hold the stretch for 5-7 seconds then push your arm into the wall without moving your body. Hold this contraction for 5-7 seconds and then relax into a deeper stretch.

Muscles Involved:

  • Pectoralis Minor

  • Pectoralis Major

  • Coracobrachialis

Related Conditions:

  • Chest Strain / Pectoralis Tear

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)
