Postural Exercises Prone Lat Pull Downs can help develop and stabilise the muscles inside the shoulder blades and promoting a better upper back posture.
Shoulders can regulalry be hunched up and develop shoulder, upper back and neck pain or tightness. This can often develop due to stress, bad work station design or simply a lack of stability for the muscles which pull the shoulder blades downwards.
Prone Lat Pull downs can help target the low trapezius muscles, rhomboid muscles and rear deltoid muscles which can pull the shoulder blades backwards and downwards into a better posture thus preventing postural related upper back conditions.
