Teres minor pain pattern

Pain pattern: Pain in the distal posterior deltoid, possibly into the posterolateral upper arm. Pain may be sharply localized and deep in nature, and it becomes more apparent when pain and restrictions in infraspinatus are reduced. There is usually little restriction of movement.

Causative or perpetuating factors: Overload stresses when reaching backward and upward.

Satellite trigger points: Infraspinatus.

Affected organ system: Digestive system.

Associated zones, meridians, and points: Dorsal zone; Hand Tai Yang Small Intestine meridian; SI 9.

Stretch exercises:

Starting with the arm at 90 degrees horizontal abduction, extend the arm toward the back, internally rotating at the shoulder. At the limit of extension, bend the elbow and touch the inferior angle of the opposite scapula.

Pull the affected arm across the chest, using the other arm placed proximal to the elbow to guide the action.
