#neckpain #scapula #scapulapain

Pain between the shoulder blade and the spine is pretty common these days, and one that a lot of people need treatment from the Physio for. This region of pain we call 'medial scapula pain' as it's located on the medial side of the scapula between the scapula and the spine. Very common to be originating from the neck, so make sure you're seeing someone and having the neck assessed.

If the pain is there long enough or manual treatment isn't working we use exercises to help alleviate the pain and increase the tone of the muscles. Pain in this region can set up a satellite type problem of it's own leading to a second issue of pain inhibition, postural problems and weakness.

Remember with all these you are after PAIN RELIEF and muscle activation, NOT muscle strengthening or bulk building.
