Default Subscapularis Release
The subscapularis is a muscle that I'm starting to work on with myofascial release. It's a little bit tricky to get at because it's underneath the scapula but I can tell it's a very tight. Until recently, it's a muscle I wasn't aware of.

Yesterday, I took the handle off of an old lawn rake to use on the subscapularis and it works pretty well. A theracane works fairly well too. It's a pretty tender area though, so you have to be kind of careful.

The rake handle works really well on the hip flexors, thighs, and pec minor too. I just go outside and put the flat end against the wall, and the rounded end against the tight muscle, and lean on it. I can put more pressure on the muscle than I can with the theracane, and I don't have to use my arms either.

Those are all good videos. Functionalpatterns.com is my favorite website when it comes to learning self-myofascial release techniques. I learn a lot from Naudi Aguilar. The stuff he teaches works. I just picked up a lacrosse ball a couple of weeks ago to use on some areas. Works good.

Lacrosse balls are okay, but often they are too hard for me and I have to be extra careful to get the pressure just right. Tennis balls are often too big to dig into the spots that I want to work. I like the yoga therapy balls from Jill Miller. They are smaller than tennis balls and firm on the inside, but with a soft wrapping. They also have a little tote that makes it easy to sling them over the back (not that a sock wouldn't work too).
