if yes thats one sign for levator scapula syndrome. this is the 2nd sign:

The Killer Stretch! LEVATOR SCAPULAE - Try This For Quick Neck Pain Relief - Dr Mandell, DC - YouTube

can you do this stretch(be precise) without feeling tightness + can you go all the way down like Dr Mandell?

if you failed these 2 tests then you have levator scapula injury.

pec minor - i really dont have any problem with that muscle in my case.
I will try these when I get home. I struggle with shoulder shrugs. My right shoulder lags behind. I think my back on my right side is just generally weak. I have been doing shrugs almost daily now for the past 3 weeks with either no weight or just 3 lbs. My right side is becoming more coordinated as time goes on.

It's a pain in the butt.
