Mid & Upper Back Pain Relief with Physical Therapy

Mid and upper back pain - often felt between the shoulder blades or along the spine - can be sharp, aching, or tight, and may even radiate into the arms or chest. Whether it’s caused by posture, muscle tension, or injury, physical therapy provides safe, targeted solutions to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Common Causes of Mid or Upper Back Pain We Treat:

  • Poor posture or “tech neck”
  • Muscle strain or overuse
  • Thoracic spine stiffness or joint dysfunction
  • Scoliosis or spinal curvature issues
  • Rib dysfunction
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Work-related or desk-related pain
  • Sports injuries or repetitive motion strain
  • Upper back tightness contributing to shoulder or neck pain

How Physical Therapy Can Help:

Our therapists are trained to assess your posture, movement, muscle balance, and spinal mechanics to find the root of your pain - not just treat the symptoms. We then design a personalized plan focused on reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing recurrence. Your treatment may include:

  • Hands-on manual therapy to release tight muscles and mobilize stiff joints
  • Postural retraining and ergonomic education
  • Strengthening exercises for the upper back, core, and shoulder stabilizers
  • Mobility and stretching routines
  • Breathing techniques and rib cage mobility work (when needed)
  • Guidance for daily activity and workstation adjustments

I’ve been working with Krina for the past few years, and she has consistently gone above and beyond to understand my needs and create treatment plans that actually work. She played a huge role in helping me work through my lateral epicondylitis issues, and thanks to her care, I’m back in the gym and feeling stronger than I have in a long time. Her attention to detail, patience, and ability to explain what’s going on with my body and make small adjustments in my day-to-day made all the difference. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who genuinely listens, cares, and knows how to get you back to feeling your best, Krina is the one. Highly recommend!
