Support Our Channel:   / ocramedhealth   Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, demonstrates how to treat a strain to your pectoralis major muscle using fascial release techniques. The pec major muscle is the largest muscle of the chest. It consists of two heads: The clavicular head and the sternocostal head. The clavicular head originates on the anterior aspect of the medial portion of the clavicle (collar bone). The sternocostal head originates from the manubrium and sternum, the superior 6 costal cartilages, and the superior part of the aponeurosis of external oblique muscles. The two heads then converge and form into a common tendon that inserts into the humerus bone at the crest of the greater tubercle. The pec major is commonly tight on many people. Poor posture can create pec major tightness. Also, weight training (without proper warmup, stretching and periodic fascial release work) can create fascial adhesion buildup. This tightness of the pec major can eventually result in injury. Once the pec major is strained, it is generally not a good idea to try to stretch the muscle. You are much better off performing fascial release therapy to speed up your injury recovery. In today's video, I demonstrate some simple fascial release techniques which you can perform on your pectoralis major at home. Give these techniques a try for a few weeks and let me know what you think in the comment section down below. I'd love to hear your feedback! Remember, Stay Young and Train Hard!
