How can my boyfriend do to heal the torn muscle under his left shoulder blade on his back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Massage, rehab: Strains involving muscle require "tincture of time". Massage, topical analgesics, oral nsaids (naprosyn, motrin), and gental range of movement as well as stretches will help. If this significantly limits activity, or increases with deep breath, should see his doctor.
