Rhomboids

The rhomboids sit between your spine and shoulder blades, connecting the two and retracting the scapula. Chronic shortening from rounded-shoulder posture makes these muscles prime candidates for trigger point development.

Common Pain Patterns

Pain is felt as a deep ache along the medial border of the shoulder blade. Often described as a constant background pain temporarily relieved by pressing the area against a chair or wall.

Using the Pressure Pointer

Lie on your back and position the Pressure Pointer between your spine and shoulder blade. Your own body weight assists in applying consistent pressure. Hold each point for 60 to 90 seconds.
