Upper back and shoulder blade pain commonly stems from rounded posture, long laptop and phone use, and stress held in the trapezius.
Common signs and symptoms
- Burning between the shoulder blades
- Tight shoulders and neck
- Headaches
- Restricted breathing or rotation
What can contribute
Contributing factors often include posture, repetitive movement, training load, stress, previous injury and long periods of inactivity. Because every body is different, we never assume; we assess first.
How we treat it
We release tight upper trapezius, rhomboids and pectorals, and re-train posture with postural alignment work.
- Initial assessment and goal-setting
- Hands-on treatment tailored to your tolerance
- Home care and movement guidance
- Progress review each visit
What a typical plan looks like
Many clients start with a 30-minute initial consultation or a 60-minute treatment session, then book follow-ups at weekly or fortnightly intervals depending on the condition and response. Sessions start from KES 5,500.
Self-care between visits
Raise your screen, take micro-breaks every 30 minutes and open the chest with doorway stretches.
When to see a doctor first
Seek urgent medical advice for sudden severe pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness, numbness in the groin, fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or pain following significant trauma. This page is general information and not a substitute for medical advice.
