How to Fix Upper Back / Rhomboid Pain for GOOD (4 Effective Exercises)

Video Description

Pain in the upper back muscles like the rhomboids and middle trapezius is often achy and it can feel like the muscles are in knots. In this video you’ll learn that trying to address this type of pain with things like massage, simple static stretching or painkillers addresses the symptom and not the root causes. We’ll cover three common root causes of upper back and rhomboid pain including levator scapulae dysfunction, serratus anterior dysfunction, thoracic spine stiffness and poor posture aka hunchback. The first exercise you’ll learn can be used to quickly diminish pain. The remaining three exercises address the root causes that you learned about. If you’ve got pain now or ever feel pain, tension or achiness in this area, check it out and make sure you address the root causes. Don’t just poke it or rub it - you need to restore proper function for long-term relief.
