The anterior (front) part, lateral (middle) and posterior (back) part. Whereas the anterior part flexes the shoulder forward the posterior part extends the shoulder. The middle portion abducts the arm out to the side. When experiencing pain into the shoulder the deltoid muscle is not the only possible cause of pain. Possible causes include rotator cuff tears, biceps tendonitis, subdeltoid bursitis, shoulder impingement syndrome, and C5 radiculopathy You may gain a benefit but just finding the tender point and just holding pressure on it but I like to add a stretch to it. Anterior deltoid The anterior deltoid is found on the front side of the shoulder. Its main action is to aid in flexing the shoulder forwards. It originates on the collar bone and attaches onto the outer portion of the upper arm along with the other parts of the deltoid. Underneath the anterior deltoid is the long head of the biceps tendon. When treating this muscle you might end up aggravating the tendon. Standing facing a wall. Place the ball on the anterior deltoid. Have your arm out to the side. You may need to use your hand to hold onto the ball so it doesn’t move. Pin the muscle down and then rotate your body away from the shoulder. Rotate your shoulder so your palm faces upwards and then bend the elbow. This helps take the stretch off the biceps muscle. Middle deltoid Place the ball on the wall and press the middle deltoid into the ball. Take your arm and reach behind your back use your other hand to pull the hand further across the body and down. Posterior #deltoid Facing away from the wall, with your arm at shoulder height, place the ball between the wall and the muscle. Rotate your body towards the wall #selfmyofascialrelease #shoulder 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Function of the deltoid 01:34 Anterior deltoid demonstration 02:47 Middle/lateral deltoid demonstration 03:22 - Posterior deltoid demonstration
