If you suffer from back and shoulder pain, these simple delts foam roller exercises could be the cure you’ve been waiting for.
The deltoid (otherwise known as the delt) is a large muscle located right at the top of your shoulder. Tendons attach the delt to the shoulder blade, upper arm and the collarbone, making it the muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion.
It’s not a rare problem for people to suffer from back and shoulder pain, due to our lifestyles consisting mostly of being slumped at a desk all day. But don’t let back pain become a huge problem, by foam rolling delts you’ll be surprised how much better you will feel! Using a vibrating foam roller feels like getting an intense back and shoulder massage from the comfort of your own home.
