Simplest thing to do is to exercise the opposite (antagonist) muscles to facilitate a release in them. e.g. externalrotator cuff, rhomboids and scapula depressors.

Thanks, I'll start a program.
Could deep tissue massage also be of help?
Hey
I think DTM would definitely be of benefit. Alot of stripping, cross fiber frictions & stretching would help lengthen and release the tissue.
PNF Stretching and also Myofascial release techniques could also help however these things can only be done with a therapist and not alone.
Also the application of heat can also help as it can increase the elasticity of the tissue, heat followed by alot of stretching would work well.
Goodluck.
Thanks. What's exactly PNF stretching?
hi all,
there should be an assessment done to find the causative factors
eg-postural
lenth tension changes of tissues
any bony abnormalities
