In today's video, I go through three important exercises to fix the trigger points (knots) in your upper back. The key here is not just consistently massaging and targeting the muscle spasm, but the hidden underlying rib and spinal joint dysfunction.
Couple this with some simple upper back strength exercises and better posture and you have the recipe for fixing your upper back trigger points (knots) for good.

the thoracic spine/rib cage area seems like a real tricky area to release with the ball - there are bones and blades everywhere. a lot of people seem to use a foam roller in this area for that reason. have you any advice on how we can loosen the area with a ball and avoid digging into bone? a video on how to deal with this, as well as freeing up the ribs and diaphragm would be awesome

You always attacks the root of the problems and explain us in an orderly and easy to understand way. Thanks

I have a question for you, Mr. Grant. How much time should I spend at each knot? Should I work on the knot until I feel relief? How do I know when I should stop and moving forward? Thank u
