The anterior deltoid is stretched with horizontal extension of the arm at the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint.
Notes:
- This stretch is usually performed by leaning in against the frame of a door.
- The same-side foot is forward and the client leans in with body weight onto the forward foot.
- This stretching protocol will also stretch the sternocostal head of pectoralis major.
