This is fascinating to me. Two different physiotherapists weren’t specific about which muscle in my shoulder was resposible for my tennis injury, but I have self-diagnosed as a subscap. injury. The serve in tennis puts extreme external rotation force on the shoulder - with a 300g weight in the hand and the huge muscles in the hips rotating the trunk and really wrenching the shoulder back. I am rehabilitating by doing gentle band-resisted belly-pressing as I know this is a very painful movement & I can certainly believe that this action targets the muscle very well. I can also feel some pain in biceps doing this exercise & since getting injured I’ve had pain in anterior shoulder which I believe must have been biceps short-head tendon or coracobrachialis tendon.
