Thanks... I will work on that.. .pain under arm comes and goes and typically toward the back of armpit. I do moist heat and stretching that my PT person gave me (McKenzie book) and that seems to help.. I follow that with ice typically.
How do you do pec minor release?
I will work on those strengthening issues you mentioned and tie my hands to my waist when sleeping.. !.. lol

Lot of people talking about a "pec minor release." This is a surgical procedure.
Another avenue to explore (which I did): Deep tissue pec minor massage.
Get a raquetball or a softball and put the ball between the wall and your body and do cross friction on your pec minor muscle. Do this in 3-4 locations along the path of pec minor. I usually did 30 strokes. Repeat several times per day.
There are several examples of this on youtube.
Once you release the pec minor in this way, allowing the shoulder to move back, you could then work on strengthening the rhomboids to get that shoulder back and down. All of this will help open up the thoracic area as well.
