Shoulder Forward Elevation
Description
This is an assisted stretch for the triceps, posterior deltoid, and
serratus anterior.
With assisted stretches it is important that the client does the stretch
and the therapist assists only at the very end of the stretch. When the
client stretches they are using the antagonist muscles, and the
principle of reciprocal inhibition causes relaxation in the muscle being
stretched.
