What causes upper back tension?

Prolonged sitting, computer work, and phone use cause the rhomboid and upper back muscles to remain contracted for hours. Over time, this creates chronic knots and pain that traditional massage only temporarily relieves.

How is this different from shoulder relaxation?

Shoulder relaxation targets the trapezius muscles along the top of the shoulders. Upper back treatment focuses on the rhomboid muscles between the shoulder blades.

How quickly will I feel relief?

Most patients begin to notice reduced muscle tension within one to two weeks. The relief typically lasts three to five months.

Can I exercise after treatment?

We recommend avoiding intense upper body exercise for 24 to 48 hours. After that, you can return to your normal routine.

Who is a good candidate?

This treatment is ideal for patients with chronic upper back tension, knots between the shoulder blades, or pain related to prolonged desk work.
