    Stretching help, please!

    After seeing the remedial massage guy, he wants me to find stretches specific to the following, so any help would be GREAT!

    Illio Psoas

    L/H Hamstring

    Itb

    Pirriformus

    Terres (major and Minor)

    Subscapularis

    Pectoralis Minor.

    All sounds like latin to me.......................

    Sorry Jane, I knew I had these on my computer but it has recently crashed.

    I've dug around and found these:

    Piriformus: http://www.expertvillage.com/video/4185_posture-piriformis-stretch.htm

    The Teres muscles work in the external rotation of the shoulder. The stretch is a little hard to describe but I'll have a look later and see if I can find a good picture and post it up later

    Thank you, I like that stretch, and got the giggles when the guy intro'd saying he was there to talk about good posture, did you see the slouch he had  going???? LMAO!

    I have this for Subscapularis and Pectoralis, would it by chance  cover the Teres? (Oh and it has a picture to help people like who me who are hopeless at following directions!)

    Stand at end of wall or in doorway facing perpendicular to wall. Bent elbow and place inside of forearm on surface of wall. Position bent elbow just below the height of shoulder. Place far leg foward and near leg back.

    Execution

    Bent over at hip while bending knees slightly. Hold stretch . Repeat with opposite arm.
