Pectoralis Major Wall Stretch
by Dr. Christopher Notley

Muscles Stretched

• Pectoralis Major
• Front deltoid

Start Position

• Facing wall
• With arm straight, place palm of hand on wall at shoulder level

Finish Position

• Bring shoulder to the wall
• If you can bring the shoulder to the wall and there is no stretch then turn the body away from the wall keeping the shoulder against the wall.

Modifications

• Place hand above or below shoulder level
• Make a fist with the thumb up. Place the hand against the wall so the thumb points away from the wall

Alternatives

• Change the height of your hand. This will change how and where the stretch is felt.
• Use a door jam or a pole instead of a wall.

Other Options

• Pectoralis major corner stretch
• Biceps wall stretch
