Notes: I am now reading Anatomy Trains, which is a fantastic book. I believe the strain I am feeling in my left shoulder is due to some imbalances in my arm lines, specifically the deep front arm line (pec minor and lat) along with some undue tension in my levator scapulae. Table-Top work has been really great for revlieving tension in my pectoralis minor. Overall RP-TED - 7.5,6,2.5
