Pain in the upper back and between the shoulder blades is usually caused by weakness in those muscles. When you think of it, most of our daily activities such as working at a keyboard driving etc. cause the shoulders to round forward. Forward shoulder posture weakens the muscles in the upper back. The weaker those muscles get the harder it is to maintain a good shoulder alignment. Its a vicious cycle. This program helps you build the strength in the upper back needed to maintain good shoulder alignment and reduce upper back pain. Duration: 22:00 minutes.
