Upper Back

Thoracic spine and shoulder-blade pain — inter-scapular muscle tightness, thoracic disc issues and postural strain. Common in desk workers and swimmers.

Upper-Back Conditions We Treat

Thoracic mechanical pain

Aching pain between the shoulder blades — often postural, but sometimes referred from cervical or lumbar sources.

Rib joint dysfunction

Sharp, localised pain when breathing or twisting — costovertebral or costotransverse joint irritation.

Thoracic disc pathology

Less common than lumbar or cervical but presents with thoracic pain sometimes referred around the chest wall.

Postural kyphosis

Rounded thoracic posture that limits shoulder movement and drives neck strain — corrected with targeted exercise.
