The shoulders are level from the front and back but slightly protracted from the side. The scapulae are level with no winging. Various stretches and exercises are then outlined to target tight or weak muscles, including the upper trapezius, pec minor, and pectoralis muscles. Dry needling may also be used on the upper trapezius with possible electrical stimulation.
