The chest muscles connect from the shoulder and anchor down onto the front of the ribcage.
This same ribcage at the front obviously connects to the spine at the back. And this upper back connection can often become stiff, tight, and overloaded based on the basic slouchy shapes and postures we tend to get into when doing stationary things - like sitting at a desk, watching tv, using a phone etc.
So if you find chest muscle stretches helpful, try pairing it up with mobilising your upper back with a foam roller or lacrosse ball to get to the root underlying cause of that tightness as well!
