Pain between the shoulder blades massage therapy TorontoPain Between the Shoulder Blades
As our back gets weak, it gets stiff. And when it gets stiff, it gets painful and sharp.
Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.
Coaching on muscle engagement and home exercises with patterned lat and rhomboid engagement make sure the upper traps don't take over — which causes neck pain — so you're strengthening the right tissues rather than going through the motions. Hands-on, deep tissue and stretching combine for a very pleasant session, and resistance-band homework with coaching cues builds lasting change. Of everything massage therapy is exceptionally good at, muscle-related upper back pain is one of the best.
What I Focus On
- Muscle Engagement Coaching
- Deep Tissue & Stretching
- Resistance-Band Homework

Call 911 if…
Pain in your upper back, between the shoulder blades, jaw or ribs that comes with chest pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or pain spreading to your arm or jaw can be a heart attack — especially for women, whose symptoms are often less “classic.” Call 911.
