20-30 minutes at a time? Wow. Did that work for you? I just tried it for 60 seconds on a foam roller...not that comfortable, but not painful.

Do you let your head hang down? Per the article linked, one of the goals is to inhibit the anterior scalene muscles.

Also, is there much difference between this stretch and say, a doorway stretch that gets at the pecs? I do the doorway stretch quite a bit (although it tends to irritate the scap area).
