A member asked:
I strained my upper back muscle by workout more than a month ago, rested for 3 weeks but there is still a small painful knot there, how to fix it?

Back pain: In a young person is usually of musculoskeletal origin. You may try to return to exercise and avoid painful activities. If the pain still doesn't resolve you may want to seek medical attention for some manual therapy from an osteopathic physician, physical therapist, etc.
