Middle Back Pain Relief - Massage Tool Release

This video and text shows you how to use a massage tool to release your middle back pain. It can be done by itself or in conjunction with all the techniques on the main middle back pain relief page. When used properly, this is a fantastic tool to help you get out of pain.

Here's what we're going to do:

Spinal Muscle Release 1 - Bending Forward and Back

We're going to start with the muscle tissue that runs like a rope down both sides of your spinal vertebrae. They're called your erector spinae muscles.

Take one of the knobby ends of your massage tool and press it into this muscle tissue right next to your spine, about 4 to 5 inches above where you are feeling the pain.

Press into the tissue and find a tender spot, and then with firm pressure at the level you can relax into do the press-hold-move technique by bending forward and back. You can do numerous repetitions.

When the tender spot lets go, or you're on a spot that's a bit stubborn, move down until you find another tender spot and then repeat the process all over again.

Do both sides of your spine. One side is often much more tight than the other.

Notice how much pain relief this one technique provides.

Spinal Muscle Release 2 - Twisting

For any remaining tender spots along the erector spine muscles we'll add a twist to the press-hold-move technique in order to get a release.

While sitting normally, find a tender spot and apply pressure with the massage tool knob.

Now bend forward and pause as you make sure the massage tool is in as deeply as you can relax into. Maintain pressure on the spot as you sit back up and come to a neutral position.

NOW twist your shoulders toward the side you are pushing on as you maintain pressure with the massage tool on the spot. You can do more than one twist while holding the pressure, or you can repeat the whole sequence again. Do what feels best.

Repeat this process on any remaining tender spots.

Do both sides of your spine.

Notice how much pain relief this one technique provides.

"Press-Hold-Move" Any Remaining Tender Spots -

Now investigate with the massage tool and find any other middle back muscle tissue that is tender and therefore too tight. Move out to the sides a bit and work on any tender spots you find. Working a bit hight and pressing into the tissue between your shoulder blades is often a great place to work. Usually, moving your arms, turning your head, moving your back will allow you to effectively do the press-hold-move technique in this area.

You can also work a bit more toward your lower back on both of the rope like muscles that run down your spinal column. Do both the "bend forward and back, and the "twist" versions of the press-hold-move will also work well in this area.

Notice how much pain relief this one technique provides.
