Muscle: Teres Minor

The teres minor is a small but mighty muscle located at the back of your shoulder, just above the larger teres major. It plays a key role in helping you move your arm and shoulder. When you reach for something on a high shelf or throw a ball, the teres minor gets to work, allowing you to rotate your arm and lift it with ease.This muscle is important for both fitness and everyday life. Strong teres minor muscles help improve your shoulder stability, which is essential for preventing injuries during workouts or daily activities. Whether you’re lifting weights at the gym or simply carrying groceries, a healthy teres minor supports your overall strength and mobility.Ready to strengthen your teres minor?
