Step 1 - End Muscle Attachment Inflammation

Here's what you're going to do:

A. Upper Back Work -

Using the tennis-ball-press technique position a tennis ball in the space between your scapula (shoulder blade) and your spine (rhomboid muscle, trapezius muscle) while lying on the floor or leaning against the wall.

Now, using the press-hold-move technique move your arm along the floor or wall as you put pressure on any tender spots. Work one tender spot for a bit, move to another for a bit, then return to the spots you've already worked on and you'll find they've let go a bit while you were working on other spots.

Basically, just use the tennis ball to press on the tissue between your spine and your scapula from the very bottom of your neck to your mid-back pressing on any tender spots while you move your arm.

Do this on BOTH sides of your upper back, especially on the rhomboid muscle between your spine and shoulder blade.

Repeat this Step 1, two to three more times before moving on to Step 2. You may not get them all to release, but do the best you can before moving on the Step.

B. Middle Back -

Using the tennis-ball-press technique place any sports ball you desire between your scapula and your spine (rhomboid muscle, trapezius muscle, latisimus dorsi). Then the choice is yours whether you want to be on the floor lying down or standing where you will use the wall.

Now, using the press-hold-move technique move your arm along the floor or wall as you put pressure on any tender spots. Work one tender spot for a bit, move to another for a bit, then return to the spots you've already worked on and you'll find they've let go a bit while you were working on other spots.

Basically, just use the tennis ball to press on the tissue between your spine and your shoulder blade from the very bottom of your neck to your mid-back pressing the tender spots as you move your arm.

Do this on BOTH sides of your middle back, especially on the rhomboid muscle between your spine and shoulder blade.

Repeat this Step 1, two to three more times before moving on to Step 2. You may not get them all to release, but do the best you can before moving on the Step.

Step 2 - Stop Nerve Pathway Irritation

In Step 1, you released some big strong muscle groups, so now we can release some smaller muscles along your spine.

Here's what you're going to do:

A. Upper Spine -

Using the floor or leaning back into the wall do the tennis-ball-press technique.

And then simply do the press-hold-move technique. You can even bend your spine a bit as move your arm, just as long as you maintain pressure on the tender spot.

Do this on BOTH sides of your back.

B. Middle and Lower Spine -

Now repeat what you just did on your upper back. Use tennis-ball-press technique position a tennis ball right next to your spine (erector spinae muscles) .

Do this on BOTH sides of your back.

Step 3 - Restore Joint Muscle Balance

A. Side of Rib Cage -

Now we need to release your serratus anterior muscle. It's way over on the side of your ribcage, but it can still cause problems for your middle back if it's tight.

Reach across your ribcage with your opposite hand and press your fingertips into the side of your ribcage near the bottom of your scapula. Poke around and notice if there is any tight tissue on top of your ribs in this area.

Once you find some, do the press-pull-release technique first and see what tight tissue you can get to release.

Next, use the press-hold-move technique by pressing into the tight tissue and raising your arm up over your head.

Pay attention to how much this helps your pain.
