Our lovely RMT Carly takes us through her favourite foam rolling moves: simple & effective

#1 Dynamic lat stretch with thoracic erector spinae muscle roll out. For more over-pressure you can shift all of your weight to one side of the spine at a time but this was a simple flat roll out.

#2 Gravitational pectoralis release, adding a bit of external rotation as well. Elbows and forearm directed towards the ground for 90 seconds x 3 sets

#3 Work out the pile up of muscles under the armpit- add external and internal rotation movements to get more of a release through the rotator cuff muscles while compressing into the build up area below the armpit!
