The pectoral muscles, or pecs, play a significant role in upper body movement and can be linked to issues in the thoracic spine, neck, and shoulders. If you’ve ever experienced tightness in these areas, a pec stretch might be just what you need.
One common method to stretch your pecs involves placing your hand on a doorway and leaning your body weight into the door while turning away. This technique can indeed deliver a deep stretch, but it often comes at a cost: it puts excessive stress on the shoulder joint, which can lead to discomfort or even injury over time.
To address this, we’ve created a video demonstrating how to adapt the classic pec stretch for maximum effectiveness without compromising your shoulder health. By making a few adjustments, you can achieve a deep, satisfying stretch that helps alleviate tension in your upper body.
