Use the foam roller to work the latissimus dorsi, teres major and the triceps by lying on your side, with your arm outstretched and the roller positioned under your armpit (just at base of the shoulder blade).

Roll upward, toward the armpit, pausing at any sore spots. Roll back down and repeat. This exercise can take some practice and experimentation to find exactly the right muscles. Take your time and go slow.
