Shoulder/Back Pain & Massage

A lot of times times the area in which you feel the pain is not the area that needs to be addressed. For example, 90% of my clients have pain between their shoulder blades and that is what they want me to massage. 


The fact of the matter is that I could massage that area all day long and the client will only have temporary relief. If they want a permanant solution they will also need to have all the opposing muscles that attach to the shoulder blade relaxed as well. This includes the Terres, levetor scap, latissimus dorsi, and the pecs. Unless these muscles are properly relaxed they will continue to pull the shoulder blades out of their proper place on the body, and the rhomboids will continue to strain to keep the shoulder blades in place.  This is why you feel pain between the shoulder blades.

  2. A solid 20% of all back pain-related tips you read suggest you check your mattress, but you should also check what's under your mattress. Sometimes your mattress isn't enough to support your back. You need a solid box spring under there. Don't go with only the support of the mattress top. Chiropractors Denver CO

  4. What many back pain sufferers may not now is that, in most cases, poor posture is the root cause of most chronic back pain. Therefore it made sense to http://www.bodyaline.com me to correct my poor posture first before doing any other back pain treatment. I strengthened my back and corrected my posture and the pain went away. Simple as that:
