Billy Video Template Shoulder

If you are having pain in your shoulders when you lift weights, sleep, or even just performing daily tasks, chest tension and weak shoulder retraction may be the culprits. In the attached video, DIAKADI owner Billy Polson discusses posture testing, stretching techniques, and muscle work which should be performed for individuals suffering from kyphotic posture (aka desk posture: rounded shoulders, tight chest, weak back) and/or shoulder/upper back pain.

    This is very helpful. I think the assessment alone could be very illuminating for some clients. I’m going to share it with my clients. As an alternative to the medicine ball, I find placing the edge of the foam roller along the pec minor provides a lot relief (for those people who have foam rollers but not med balls available). Great work!
