- Are you dealing with a nagging discomfort in between your shoulder blade and your spine? No matter how many stretches you do, or how much time you spend foam rolling it, does it still persist? Pain in this area often gets labeled as a rhomboid issue because it is a relatively superficial muscle that you can appreciate from any anatomy chart. However, how to fix rhomboid pain sometimes may actually have little to do with the rhomboids. In this video, you'll learn the ultimate secret of how to fix rhomboid pain by taking a look at a very specific movement...thoracic rotation!
Rhomboid pain is labeled as pain in between your shoulder blade and your spine (interscapular pain) that can even refer up to the base of your neck or down the middle of your back. It is often described as a nagging dull ache or pain, pressure, knifelike, pulling, or even a burning sensation (is that really rhomboid pain? Food for thought). You'll often find people dealing with discomfort in this area wanting to fidget around in efforts to feel better - moving their head and neck around trying to stretch, rounding their shoulders, squeezing their shoulder blades back, or twisting their upper back, you name it. The occasional soreness in this region is nothing to be concerned about, especially if you did a hard upper back workout or carried a backpack for a long time. However, dealing with constant discomfort or pressure in this area can become a real nuisance.
Just because you're dealing with discomfort in between your shoulder blade and your spine doesn't mean we have to point the finger at the rhomboids every time! To fix rhomboid pain, we need to take a look at and consider all of the other anatomical structures in the area.
If there was only one movement assessment I had to pick when it comes to evaluating interscapular pain, I'm going to look at thoracic rotation mobility. Poor thoracic rotation mobility can wreak havoc on the body and can definitely refer pain and discomfort to the rhomboid region. Poor thoracic rotation mobility is often coupled with poor scapular mobility/stability, which only contributes to the issue more! I have found that simply improving thoracic rotation mobility can improve interscapular discomfort. Be sure to watch the full video to learn not just how to assess, but also how to improve thoracic rotation mobility and potentially fix rhomboid pain!

Thank y'all so much for this I was getting tired of walking around feeling like there was a knife in my back
I feel you hahah
Thank you so much for your support! So glad this helped you!
So glad to finally find a video that targets my problem areas. Sometimes I wish there was a knife in my back to cut thru all the muscle tension, strain, and pain
Its killing meeeee ...
@@Azianmunk i have always wished that ever since I started having this pain. Thought I was the only one in the world with this kind of issue.
Am I the only who always feels like no one has ever experienced my specific type of pain and this isn’t going to work. Then does the stretches and 24hours later feel nothing.
Dude I just found a 1 minute video that solved my 7+ year old problem... Just keep looking!

I've been struggling with pain between the shoulder blades for going on 10+ years. PT, chiropractor, massage, etc all were just temporary relief (if at all). Exercise makes the pain terrible and impacted my quality of life (sleep, mood, activity). I started doing these 3 exercises this week and I immediately felt soooo loose and pain free. I thought I needed to give up weight lifting (something I love) but I've had two intense workouts with absolutely no pain afterwards! I can't describe out much this means to me and how much it has helped. thank you so much Prehab!
Chris this just made our whole day! So glad to hear that you are feeling so much better and are getting back to the things that you love! Keep after it! Consistency is key with mobility work and if you ever feel like you need more guidance, definitely check out all the mobility programs we offer through our membership! theprehabguys.com/membership/
It's crazy that exercise makes it worse. I'm experiencing the same thing.
I can’t believe this. I’ve been dealing with severe rhomboid pain for more than a decade due to an old sports injury. Occasionally wake up and can’t even get out of bed without doing a barrel roll because it suddenly decided to act up and make my life a living hell for the next 3 days. It was getting in the way of my job, my sports, my sleep. Everything. I just followed along with this video and it was instant relief. I’m still in shock. Thank you so much.
So happy for you and so glad that you are feeling better! That's what it is all about! Stay consistent with it!
This the kind of content that makes the internet a revolution. Thanks to all the professionals who give serious health advices.
Appreciate the love! Just out here doing what we love and sharing quality information you can trust! Welcome to the Prehab family!
Did these exercises, and for the first time in YEARS...I don't have pain between my left shoulder blade. I could cry, thank you so much
That is so amazing!!! Thank you for your support and we are so happy you have found this to be helpful for you!!!
i understand your feeling, for me this works well too.
For how long did you do these before you saw results @fourtyshorty
@@abumoughal2713 dude l did it 1 time and l dont have pain anymore
I totally hear you, I've had this for several years. Already after one time doing the stretches, I can tell the difference. I know the feeling!!
I can’t thank you enough for this. I’ve been in excruciating pain and my PT thought it was my shoulder. Stretches weren’t helping but THIS instantly gave me relief. 😮💨
I was with this pain for more than 10 years and with these exercises it disappeared in FOUR DAYS!!! I love you my friend! Thank you very much for this video! Greetings from Brazil.

How many sets and reps?
Four months, smashing, rolling, 2 different physios, buying massage guns and tools.. You guys solved it, appreciate this content! Champions, cheers
Yass thank you for the comment, keep up the great work!
How long did it take for you to solve it with this excercise?
@@DhyaneshGunther Thanks, much appreciated!
You're right. A mechanic with a few year's experience knows pretty well what's wrong under the hood. So physiotherapists should be more regulated for quick accuracy, knowing how expensive they are for several treatments. What about a father of 3 kids, working in a factory or construction (lucky enough to get a short job). America sometimes sucks.
I have the massage gun for an instant relief.. But I want a more longer or permanent fix.. Glad to hear that this is legit
I almost went to the doctor for this, it was the most infuriating knot/ache that seemed to never go away. Thank you for saving me a doctor's trip and fixing something I've struggled with for months
So glad to hear you are feeling better! Keep after this stuff!
@@ThePrehabGuys how many times a day shall I do this exercise?
plz bro can i talk with u
I’m glad this helped but what do you MEAN? Are you saying you had pain for more than a few days and you didn’t see a doctor??? Why????
@@lifealchemy1218 Omg get off your high horse, not everyone has the money to pay for a high deductible in order to be seen by a doctor over every single ache 🙄
This rhomboid pain was the bane of my existence for months maybe even years. Doing the stretches in this video literally made it disappear. Thanks guys
That is so awesome! Be sure to subscribe, good stuff dropping soon!
I've had rhomboid pain since August. In December I started doing these excersises. Once a day, 10 reps per side. Within days my pain went away. It's been gone ever since. I still to these excersises a couple of times a week. I can carry my one year old son without pain again. Thanks guys!
This is awesome, keep up the great work!!! =)
The pain returned this weekend after a busy time at work. However, after a couple of days doing these exercises its gone again... so No months of pain this time!

If there was a RUclips gold star reward, this video deserves it.
Whomever you are reading the comments hoping for a similar situation - with the stabbing pain behind your shoulder blade (feels like a hard rock is nestled somewhere in there). Yes, you, who has jammed a lacrosse ball, a corner of a wall, a massage therapist elbow, etc in your back hoping for a release.. Give these exercise 3 days.
Crying tears of relief. I'm not perfectly whole, but I am soooo much better than any acupuncture or massage appointment has made me feel.
This tutorial changed my life after years of issues with that area of the back. Every time I hear someone talk about "shoulder blade" muscle pain I always recommend this video.
Dah thanks so much for the kind words, Andrew and for sharing the video!
I thought i was the only one who going through all this pain, 😭 thank you for sharing the video I am going to do it right away.
of course!
I’ve had this same issue for 3 years and this actually makes a difference
Did you continue gym during that period?
@@SachinThakur-wt6xf Yes,I gat the Pain after push.
I have had rhomboid pain for more than 2 years after too much push-ups exercices, did anybody really solve this problem??
This gives me hope
Did it completely resolve your issue? Thanks!
I have that pain after training my back sometimes. This really helped getting rid of the pain.
A great video. I had been suffering from this pain for a while, but ever since I started doing the exercises you suggested, the pain just vanished 😍
I’ve had neck spasms for almost 6 years and countless therapy sessions and chiro visits. I had spasms in my rhomboids and my neck and kept smashing it with a lacrosse ball and neck and back stretches but it only provided temporary relief. I did these exercises and immediately they were gone!! Thank you! You saved my life!! 😭
Alfonso, we are so glad to hear it! Since you had relief with these exercises definitely look into our thoracic mobility program to further take control of this issue! We are rooting for you! theprehabguys.com/program-thoracic-spine-mobility-overhaul/

watched this video literally the day prior to this post and my pain is almost gone after doing all this maybe a total of three times! Definitely going to make this part of my routines!
OMG ....thread in the needle is the bomb .....thank you .....I felt so relieved...
We love us some thread the needle!
I’ve been having pain in that area almost daily for over a year from riding a moped all day for work. 10 painful reps of each of these just alleviated alot of the naggy part of the pain. I’ll begin using these on a daily basis. Thank you so much for this help!!!
Hey has it helped?
are you cured?
You may feel better now but chances are the pain is not going to completely clear up
RUclips reccomendations did it again! Read my mind
haha amazing!
@Idiris Shekh, Fredrika Bremergymnasiet SA19b elev your cellphone was in a slight abnormal position in your pocket throughout your day so the algorithm got a message that your posture changed and you got that video in your recommendations afterwards, voila lmao
Same here. Crazy.
Same
My girlfriend has the issues for some time now. I always massage her scapula and couple of days ago, I think to myself why don't I google the problem the next day.
Of course, she didn't complain since, and I forgot to google. But now, all of sudden, this is recommended. Amazing!
I have been struggling with this pain for months. Always flares up when I am chopping or doing dishes. Just tried these stretches and I already feel a bit of relief. Thank you.
The number of videos I've watched because of this pain with no relief is insane. Thank you so much for your help, man :)
Came from the gym yesterday with that pain without knowing what exactly it was about or which muscle. Thank God I noticed the thumbnail and could relate to my pain and did those exercise today and its very effective 🙂.
Thank you 👍
This video saved me a trip to the chiropractor. I sit at a computer desk about 12 hours a day between all my jobs. I may get a better chair to help me with that or a standing desk but this absolutely did the trick! Perfect cure for “Tech Neck”

This is immensely helpful with what I refer to as "gamer pain", where after an hour or two of holding the poor posture necessary for me to work a keyboard and mouse effectively, I get a consistent pain in between my spine and right shoulder blade. I know it's because of how I'm hunched over, this has been immensely helpful
You just rescued me from years of pain. Thank you
Thanks so much! I can feel these already helping immensely. There don't seem to be any videos on this kind of pain (instead mostly lower back pain which is more common)
Immediate pain relief at last. Thanks so much for this!
Just found your 3yr old video... Thanks I've been suffering with this pain, for a while this is exactly what' I needed. Subscribed a true viewer, things have changed so much, self health is mandatory!!!
That thoracic rotation makes a lot of sense to me! It looks like a great stretch for serratus anterior. As a massage therapist, I have come to appreciate the agonist/antagonist relationship between rhombs and serratus (ant). I am going to integrate this stretch into my practice. Thanks!
Love it, Matthew! The body truly is incredible!
I have been bothered with my upper back for years, went to chiropractor and physiotherapist, and it helped for a while, but the pain always came back after some time, after I started to do this exercise, my back pain are gone, and I fell more energiced. Thank you so much.
So great to hear! Thanks for being part of the [P]rehab family!
Good video, thank you. Most often people with these issues do not have someone to assist. Your video was very helpful. I have terrible rhomboid pain and this is mainly from desk work. My work lifestyle changed about 12 years ago and slowly but gradually I started to notice the negative effects of sitting for long hours.
Thanks guys! Y'all are the most down to earth in explaining rhomboid pain - accessible easy to understand info for the non-medical layperson. I refer so many of my clients to this video.
i’ve been hurting in my rhomboid for THREE YEARS. i just did these exercises and i feel like the biggest weight has been lifted off of me. i could barely breathe i was hurting so bad before this. def going to be doing these exercises every day
The pain in my left rhomboid was so nagging. I did 10 reps of the first exercise. Feel so much better ! Thank you !
HUGE release right away with all these stretches. I was so sore I couldn't even sleep! Thank you!
Asha Mbabaali I had instant relief after 6 days of annoying pain. What a difference
This is awesome!! Great to hear!
Nice!
I also couldnt sleep last night...i had the pain before but it got worse last week. Now it is burning and i got a feeling of a knife in my back... I hope this will help
I can't even get into the 1st position without severe pain. Almost 2 weeks now. Can't sleep, or do much of anything. No matter how I sit, stand, kay down it's just constant. And extremely painful. Been taking Advil liquidgels and heating pad for 2 weeks and nothing has even slightly gotten better.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was in pain for 5 months following a car accident. After two rounds of physical therapy and multiple doctor visits I was still in pain. Doing these exercises twice a day over the course of two weeks has changed my life. While not totally pain free, I am not being awakened every night in pain.
Wow that really worked. Thank you so much guys. Ive been having this back pain between the shoulder blades and the spine. Doing the exercise and stretching gave me relief.
Ive been suffering with this pain for years! Thank you for explaining the exercise needed to cure this 🙏 ive been smashing my neck muscles for nothing 😓
yes! hope this helps!
Thank you for showing these exercises! The rhomboid is very hard to target with massage and other therapies. This cured my nagging rhomboid pain!
I've had these pains since the start of my cross country season. It really helps loosen the tension in the back. Thank you very much.
I have seen every doctor imaginable for this life-altering pain, and finally relief/answers after watching this video!
You are blessing lives! This was an answered prayer.
Thank you so much.
I have struggled with this pain off and on for 3 years. For the last week it’s been unbearable and has kept me from sleeping. I tried these stretches and they didn’t feel like they were doing much for addressing the area. 10 minutes after I finished, the pain was GONE! THANK YOU!! They did what no one else has been able to do for me!

You are most welcome! We are so glad this was helpful to you!!
It alleviated the pain the very first time I did these exercises. I can hardly believe it. Thank you so much. I'll do these every morning from now on.
Been struggling for years with tightness and soreness. This was very helpful!
Noticed relief instantly. Now I know what I need to do everyday. Being an MMA fighter this pain has been holding me back some. Thank you guys so much! Amazing!
Such a great video: clear, concise and insanely helpful. You do a great job demonstrating and explaining the exercises. I've had this intermittent rhomboid pain for years and it feels better after 5 minutes of stretching.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you are feeling better, Matt!
This is amazing! I'm in PT for a shoulder impingement, and I have a lot of pain in my upper back. After a few rounds of the first stretch here, I was able to get my hand significantly further behind my back. Thank you!
I've been in pain for the last month, Thank you so much, you saved my life.
I had debilitating pain that started a few hours ago, it was disabling so I came online to figure out how to fix it. These exercises really helped reduce the intensity of the pain. Thank you 🙏🏽
hello, I want to start doing these but I'm confused. I have the pain on my right side which is also my stiffer side. On the first exercise, do I need to rotate with the right shoulder or left? The 3rd exercise, thread to needle , which hand do I do that with? The right hand or the left? Thank you in advance !
This was awesome…. I’ve had a dull nagging pain right on that spot for the past year and a half. I went to see a chiropractor and the pain vanished for about 4-6 months… now it’s back and this video showed up right on time. I still have my appointment set up with my chirp for next week, but this is going to be awesome to manage the pain by myself at home through these simple exercises.

This exercise fixed my 6-7 months of nagging pain within couple of days. Thanks to my physio who shared this link and thanks to you guys for making it. 🙏🙂
Honestly helped so much to understand where the pain was coming from and that I wasnt alone. These exercises really helped man, thank you!!!
Glad to hear!! Thanks for trusting us
Wish all the money I spent on my chiropractor went to you instead. Feel my breathing has improved and stress levels I’ve had this problem since a child always played sports growing up. Crazy this is free content
Aww thanks for the kind words and support! We're glad this helped, keep up the great work.
Wish you the best
i had quite severe rhomboid pain after taking up golf at 60 and hitting way too many balls in too short a time frame. Looked around on YT for some advice and found this vid - followed to the letter for a couple of weeks and mixed it up with tennis ball massage in the back against a wall - worked a treat! Pain free and back to hitting balls! Thanks a mill Doc.
What was your pain like? I was shoveling a lot for about 2 hours and think I strained the rhomboid. Intermittent pain when I move in certain directions. Not a problem during sleep but moving thorughoug the day it's annoying
Had to comment. I'm a mom of 2, so my beck is simply a mess. I watched this video 30 minutes ago - did the exercises- now I'm sitting here with a shit ton of less pain than before. THANK YOU
So glad you are feeling better! Keep after it!
His back is so beautiful I wanna cry😭. But also, I needed this exercise for the past 20 years after a backpacking injury I got when young. Word to the wise, make sure your pack fits correctly before loading it up with 70 lbs and tromping off into the desert🙈
David goggins would be proud
Thank you for your insight!!!
age is just a number
Great man, I’ve been suffering from exact same pain on my left shoulder blade and spine.
I’m gonna try this out.
Thanks
This video is very helpful. I’ve been doing the exercises a few times a day and I can feel a lot of the stress and tension relief. If you’ve experience this type of pain 100% do these.
We love to hear it, Nathan! Glad you are doing better!
I’ve had this pain for quite some time and just did the three exercises and pain gone… Thank you Universe for directing to this man’s page 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
Just discovered this video and I am speechless, just did these exercises and I already feel better. Keep up the good work this was very informative!
Glad you like them! =)
This helped so much. These exercises revealed a neck and thoracic spine imbalance and after a chiropractic visit,spasms and pain gone. 👍😁
Wonderful! So glad it helped! Thank you very much for your support!
Thanks just copied these exercises and heard a loud crack from my shoulder and relief of the pinch. Will add these to my daily stretches!
I’ve had this pain since I had a car accident a few years back multiple doctor appointments and physios had not been able to help me, I have done this once and it was nearly instant relief thank you so much!
I used to commute to work daily and as I drove in for years I started developing a slight pain in my left rhomboid. It would annoy me when I drove but only slightly. I then started working from home during corona and was hunched over working from my couch. The rhomboid pain started hurting more and more till it was a constant stabbing feeling that was 7/10 on the pain scale. It hurt so much, came on really quickly and was happening daily. Everyone was telling me go to a chiropractor, or wear this contraption to sleep. I didn’t want to do either. I kept trying to find a fix through RUclips. Some videos said use a foam roller to massage the area so I started using one. I also bought a massage stick and started getting massages at those ghetto places in the mall. None of this really worked. I then started looking up stretches and exercises and doing them. Nothing worked until I stumbled onto your video. Now I continue to do these exercises 2-5 times a week. If the pain comes back it’s a 1/10 instead of 7/10. Thank you for this video!
How many times a day do you do the exercises at the beginning please?
I had been doing exercise #2 and #3 all along, I could always feel the tightness when doing them but #2 and #3 never actually stopped my back tightness and shoulder crunching.
Did exercise #1 after watching this and after just one set it freed up my shoulder and back. New favourite stretch/exercise.
Thanks guys.
great to hear!!
This video of three movements did the works for me. All my stiffness went away. I had to do them a couple of times. But man it did do wonders. Especially the second movement.
Guys. From the brottom of my heart. Thank you tons.
Your a true Genius.Thank you for helping me Release this awful Pain
Thread the needle has always been my go-to, pretty much the only thing i've found that touches that rhomboid pain. Awesome to get a few more exercises to do. Thanks so much for these!
We love us a good thread the needle! So glad you are feeling better! Keep with it, Chase!
Thank you. I've known something was wrong for 10 years and this is the first thing that helped.

These exercises really helped. That pain is absolutely annoying and came on so suddenly. Thanks!
Just found this video, ive been having pain in that area for atleast 4-5 years. Had multiple scans done, no hernia. Fysotherapy hasn't helped so far..
I will give this a go!!
I feel you
How is it going?
Guys. Thank you. Finally someone can help me with this pain, after long painful years.
We're happy to help!!
Did your pain go away for good
Had to come back and thank you for this video! I pushed myself too hard in the gym and was dealing with this pain for months. I was about to fall victim to the 'ball massage' therapy until I came across your video. Did the exercises you recommended for a couple weeks, and the pain literally .
Been a few years since then and haven't had any problems since! You guys are amazing!
I had this pain past couple of years and some time it was worsening.. I consulted doctor took medication and physiotherapy but not completely cured. Luckily I had a chance to see this video and started practice now completely cured and no pain. After longtime I feel very good. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, I was doing foam rolls all day bc my rhomboids were killing me. Did a few reps of each exercise and the pain has been alleviated. Definitely useful to do these in the morning.
I'd love to see some rehab vids on shoulder instability and how the bicep comes into play during shoulder health in general.
We've got lots of great shoulder videos on our playlist! Check them out when you get a second! So glad you are feeling better!

Felt like my shoulder blades were pinched into my spine. Definitely helped me with my pain. Thanks for the great video 💯🙏
I can't believe these stretches worked. I thought I would just have to deal with this pain for the rest of my life. I have been doing 20 reps of all three stretches in the morning for the past few days and already noticed a massive improvement. Thank you so much!
That's amazing, Robin! So glad to hear it! Keep up! Consistency is key!
this is absolutely amazing! I felt instant relief after over a year of facing upper back pain. thank you! liked and subscribed ❤️
Awesome!
@Kavyaxxvii did the pain relieved or it,s back ?
@@MuhammadHaris-rj8ku my pain was caused by bad posture while using phone a lot and keeping laptop on bed and using for long hours so the pain comes back every time I don't take care of my posture. i do the exercises and it goes again. if I'm careful about posture and take breaks to stretch in between it doesn't pain at all
Did it fix your issue?
Brah, Last night I had pain in this exact part of my back. It irritated me so much and the pain felt like it was spreading all through my shoulders and neck. My girlfriend gave me a massage in that area and the pain went away for about 10mins before it came back even more sore. A temporary fix. So I hopped on youtube to look for stretches and found this video. Best decision ever! After these stretches, the pain went away permanently and instantly. I was shocked at how well these stretches worked. Slept like a baby the rest of the night. New subscriber right here!! Mahalos guys! 👍
This is absolute black magic. Thank you. You have no idea how much time and money I've spent trying to get this relief.
hello, I want to start doing these but I'm confused. I have the pain on my right side which is also my stiffer side. On the first exercise, do I need to rotate with the right shoulder or left? The 3rd exercise, thread to needle , which hand do I do that with? The right hand or the left? Thank you in advance !
sat in a uncomfortable chair for a long period of time and couldn't sleep due to back pain. doing these relieved the pain by 30% but helped me stop feeling the sharp pain in my back. Thank you again
This is the first time that I see an exercise being discussed for this type of pain. For the past 30 years there has been some relief of this pain for me when I have a medium to hard pressure point Shiatsu massage done by very experienced therapists. Over the last 12+ years after an invasive surgery requiring cutting up my sternum, this pain was even more prevalent and nagging. The Shiatsus relieve it significantly, however, it reappears. As I have tendonosis on my right shoulder rotating ball as well as my right bicep, this pain is even more nagging. I look forward to these exercises in order to address that nagging pain especially behind my right shoulder blade. Thank you
Good luck to you brother
any luck here!?
The first and second excercizes have helped me tremendously! Thank you!
Great to hear!!
I had tears in my eyes from the relief …thank you so much
Hi guys, I’m over 60 and believe it or not hadn’t even heard of Rhomboid pain until I came across your video this morning. Based on your assessment and description of the pain, I believe this has been my problem for over 25 yrs! The dull nagging pain on the left side can last for weeks…goes away for days sometimes more then comes back. Sometimes the pain goes up the back of my neck and I get real bad tension headaches! I’ve tried different pillows, mattresses, massage…pain always comes back!
I exercise regularly and did your suggested movements/exercises for the first time a few minutes ago. I will continue over the coming days and weeks…let’s see what happens! If these exercises actually do help me…I’ll be your fan for life!! 😀😎
I’ve been dealing with this pain for 8 months now and stretching has never helped only made it worse but what has given some “relief” is strengthening exercises, ice, KT tape , and bio freeze. The rhomboid is such a tough muscle to treat! It’s the worst muscle to mess up. I hope and pray somebody gets honestly well there are people in the comments that said they have been living with that pain for years. I hope this can help someone. I promised myself that if I ever going the cure I would help somebody
How is it going?

@@lornakist Thank you, yeah i have also been dealing with this pain for a long time. After starting to lift heavy weights on squat the issue suddenly appeared, and has percisted since. I will try the method you wrote. Thanks again 👍
Thank you guys so much! I can't explain how much this helps me. I've been struggling with this pain for 5 YEARS, no one was able to help me until I found this little piece of gold in the form of a RUclips video.
