Passive release techniques for pectoralis minor

The pectoralis minor can be difficult to engage as the pec major a lot of the surface area. That said, it is possible to use passive release techniques by engaging it from the side and challenging the range of movement as you progress. Keep in mind this technique shouldn't be painful for clients. If it is, you could be pushing too hard or your fingernails could be too long and digging into the fascia.

You'll use a similar client position and hold as you would when working the pec major. Some clients can be quite tight when you begin, so you'll need to progressively free up the tissue. Massage cream is also invaluable as it provides much-needed glide.

Come in from the side underneath the shoulder with two braced thumbs and sink into the slack until you reach the first point of resistance. Sometimes this point of resistance can be the fascia under the shoulder so get past it by slowly bringing the arm up and out of abduction while engaging the tissue.
