@drjoedamiani: 🔥 That burning pain between your shoulder blades? It's NOT from tight, shortened rhomboids — it's from muscles that are OVERSTRETCHED and weak. Here's what's really happening…

In today's screen-heavy world, we sit with rounded shoulders and a forward head. This pulls the scapulae apart (protraction), placing the rhomboids in a chronically lengthened position. Muscles held in a stretched position develop: ⚡ Strain-related microtrauma ⚡ Trigger points (found in 75% of people with upper back pain!) ⚡ Weakness and fatigue So what does this mean for treatment? ❌ STOP aggressively stretching or rolling out your already overstretched rhomboids ✅ START strengthening the Rhomboids and other scapular retractors (AS SHOWN IN VIDEO) Other important strategies (NOT SHOWN IN VIDEO): ✅ STRETCH the tight anterior muscles (pecs & upper traps) ✅ FIX your posture (especially at a workstation) The pain isn't from shortening — it's from a muscle crying out because it's been pulled too far for too long. #Rhomboids #Neckpain #Shoulderbladepain #Shoulderpain #Physicaltherapy

17mins in he says ‘try this to actually fix it’ but you need to skip to 43mins to get the actual exercise to fix it.

It’s common when your shoulders are in your ears from anxiety all the time. Drop. Your. Shoulders.
