Other functions include arm internal rotation, arm adduction, arm extension; which assists in respiration. ๐๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ข ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐น ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ด๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ญ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ท๐ฐ๐ญ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ค๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ธ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ. ๐๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ!โฃ

๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: This muscle is big and very powerful and assists in many movements, actions, and stability of the posterior aspect of the spine. Since it is so big it also needs a strong blood supply, making it a muscle that doesnโt tend to develop as much scar tissue as other muscles. When a shoulder problem has been going on for a long-time this tends to be a secondary contributor to dysfunction, not the primary one!โฃ

๐๐๐ค๐-๐๐จ๐ฆ๐: Yes the lats can be a problem in a shoulder injury presentation, but we must address the underlying rotator cuff problem first before ever treating the lats. ๐ช๐ ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐
