What it is

Upper back pain physiotherapy treats the thoracic spine, the shoulder blade muscles and the ribs. Most cases we see in Indirapuram come from long hours at a laptop, with stiffness between the shoulder blades and a constant burning ache by evening.

Treatment restores movement in a stiff thoracic spine and rebuilds the endurance of the muscles that hold your shoulder blades back.

Symptoms we see

Burning or aching between the shoulder blades
Stiffness on twisting or arching backwards
Pain worsening through the working day and easing overnight
A catching sensation on deep breathing
Tension headaches with neck and upper back tightness
Rounded shoulder posture with a forward head position

Common causes

Prolonged desk, laptop and phone posture
Weak lower trapezius and scapular stabiliser muscles
Thoracic joint and rib joint stiffness
Carrying heavy bags on one shoulder
Stress-related muscle guarding
Referred pain from the neck or shoulder

Our approach

Assessment: Thoracic and rib joint testing, scapular control assessment, neck screening, breathing pattern check and a review of your workstation setup.
Treatment: Thoracic mobilisation and manipulation where appropriate, rib mobilisation, myofascial release for the paraspinal and scapular muscles, and scapular strengthening.
Home program: Foam-roller extensions, thoracic rotation drills, scapular strength work and micro-break rules for the working day.

Techniques used

Thoracic mobilisation

Graded manual glides that unlock stiff mid-back segments.

Rib joint mobilisation

Restores rib movement when deep breathing catches.

Myofascial release

Releases the paraspinal, rhomboid and levator scapulae muscles.

Scapular strengthening

Endurance work for lower trapezius and serratus anterior.

Workstation correction

Screen, chair and keyboard changes that remove the daily load.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my upper back hurt only in the evening?

Postural muscles fatigue over hours. That pattern points to an endurance problem, which responds well to strengthening plus micro-breaks rather than rest.

Do posture braces help?

Briefly, as a reminder. Worn all day they let the muscles switch off. We use them sparingly while strength is being built.

Is cracking the mid-back safe?

Thoracic manipulation is safe when screened and performed by a trained physiotherapist. It is never our only treatment because the relief needs strength work to hold.
