So the search component then when it comes to shoulder raises though, is we're looking to stretch if you look at the image here, and particularly we're looking at like low beta scapula here, elevated scapular, meaning it lifts the scapula up. So we're stuck like this a lot of the time. So what we want to do is try and bring that down, and we can stretch in the opposite direction of what we're trying to stretch. And that's going to help lengthen over that tissue in through there. So key notes for this remembering that we're not pushing forward and see seven because we're already doing that. It's more, keeping that nice framework top of the spines here in between the two years.
So when we're looking across, coming down, it's a nice stretch through the back and then if you want an extra Stretch, you can bring this arm down by your side. And then the second stretch and stretching more of this tissue underneath through here. serratus anterior through their latissimus. dorsi is showing to be a bit of the machinists guy as far as I'll go, as far as muscle tension is concerned. So we've formed this pattern around like this. So it kind of like stuck like that.
So when we, when you're doing the strengthening component, you're helping to rebalance through that. But if you're trying to strengthen stuck tissue, that's a very hard thing to do. Or it makes sense in my mind, that you free the tissue up first. And then you do that. And I get a lot of great work with people that have been doing physical therapy for a year or two years. We've know they kind of plateau through those exercises.
Now we free all these tension lines, or now all of a sudden, they can do really well with a physical therapy because now the tissue isn't stuck for them to work with that. So think about that. When you're doing stretching exercises your unsticking only ever take the stretch to the end range what I call the end range. And then you're not going to the point of pain, any point it wants to be exploratory of enjoyable. And there is again more growing research as far as the fascia component which is concerned, and that you do need to be a little bit easier with the stretch and not push it so much. In fact, if you push it too much, the probe receptive system is going to tighten in order to protect itself.
So you're actually doing yourself a disservice by over stretching this kind of old military style of exercise. And we're moving away from that paradigm. Now we're moving a little bit more towards things that move in line with the body that supports the body rather than being anti body
