💪 Shoulder Pain? It Could Be Your Lats! 💪
The Latissimus Dorsi (Lats) is a large back muscle that often contributes to shoulder discomfort when it’s tight or has active trigger points.
📍 Origin: Lower thoracic spine, lumbar spine, iliac crest
📍 Insertion: Upper arm (humerus)
⚡ Trigger Point Pain Referral: Pain can radiate to the back of the shoulder, side of the arm, and sometimes into the lower back or even the wrist.
When the lats are overworked (from lifting, swimming, cycling, or even poor posture), they limit shoulder mobility and cause pain.
✨ At Flex Sports Massage, we use targeted sports massage & trigger point release to:
✅ Reduce shoulder pain
✅ Release tight fascia and muscle knots
✅ Restore shoulder mobility
✅ Enhance recovery & performance
Don’t ignore that nagging shoulder ache — your lats might be the hidden culprit!
