A member asked:
What does it mean when my upper back hurts when i stretch back or pull my chest forward. bringing my two shoulder blades together makes it hurt as wel?

Poor Posture: The most common cause is,poor,posture, with head and shoulders forward. This pulls scapula laterally, straining the rhomboids,,which hurt when you move the shoulder blades. A good exercise is to place heels, buttock, shoulders and head against the wall, interlock fingers and place back of hands against the forehead, stretch elbows to wall. Scapula thoracic syndrome
