..."You may have Lat Muscles that are impinging on your Teres Majors while your Erector Spinae Muscles are smooth/ in their proper state, I wouldn't give it the same touch nor pressure, even though they are neighboring muscles, they call for 2 different modalities. Understanding the Insertion and Origin of Muscles, how the Striations run and where the Pressure points are, {for starters} gives me a better insight in making an analysis on what I need to do .."...
