This is a self massage technique for the scapular retractors. Start by placing a massage or lacrosse ball on a tender spot between the scapulae and spine. Lie down on the ball to lightly compress the muscle and reach your arm directly out to the side. Slowly cross your arm across your chest to actively stretch out the scapular retractors. Slowly return to start and repeat for up to 3-5 times. Pick another spot if required.
