How to Treat Muscle Knots Under Your Shoulder Blade 💪🏽

Are you having that "hard-to-reach pain" under your shoulder blade? Let's take care of it now!

[@TheVerucAssault]

Now I understand why I rub my back against doorframes like a bear.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Yes, I do the same thing myself!

[@zoweyscookingchannel5180]

Try on round smooth door knobs omg

[@forrevenge18]

I used to do it against a tree

[@kimberlyburns3923]

I found that sitting in the seat of your vehicle is alot easier and more comfortable than the using a wall, but this really works well.

[@4fNReal-]

Meeee too!!!😂😂😂

[@anorourke8682]

You just made my day 🙌🏼

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Excellent!

[@sammay_1317]

I search many exercises due to my right shoulder blade causing so much pain, it’s gone down to my arm and hand it feels extremely painful as well as neck area now. Would you consider getting an X-ray of any sort or is this simply muscle pain? Some numbing on arm and hands (tingly sensation) anyway, Thank you so so much for your videos!!

[@drhxa]

Go to the doctor and let them diagnose you. Don't look for health advice online.

[@sammay_1317]

@@drhxamade a check up and will be seen by my doctor tmrw! Thank you so so much!!!!

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

I get same down my arm and tingling. I get static pain as well my spine is cooked, my right leg longer than my left but my right hip shorter than my left have go chiropractor and acupuncturist was helping re aline my spine. Stopped going then slipped and messed my self up again. It's all spinal displacement and neck displacement . Most people get it looking down on their phones to much .

Excellent Can reach those trigger pts maneuvering on the floor.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome Kelly, hope it helps

[@vl9216]

I want to know if the tps under the scapula are still part of trapezius and rhomboids? Do we go beyond the trapezius border to get to those or is it still on the trapezius, which we have to go under the scapula to get to fully? Over a year of working on bodies and it's still confusing to me trying to figure this out.

[@tracigoode6973]

Having my partner sit on my back usually does the job enough to be able to sleep. However this is a great alternative when I'm alone :D

[@FrontRowwithEd]

That's a great idea!

[@TazBo-wd2ig]

I can feel a hard lump that makes a kind of knocking noise as the ball rolls over it. It’s so annoying I feel like ripping my shoulder off.

[@jjmaguire8281]

HEAVEN!!!

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Glad it helped!

[@carterclover1167]

If tennis balls aren’t hard enought for you I would recommend a lacrosse ball

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Yes, great suggestion thanks for sharing!

[@youtubewa7766]

If a tennisball wont do, use a golf ball instead

[@jamitwitu]

What if we don’t have a wall

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Do you have a door?

[@Brute24]

Don't do this on sheetrock. It'll dent the rock.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Yes, good point!

[@Brute24]

@@FrontRowwithEd I found out the hard way 😉

[@ImTash]

Oh holy hell my GOD that was sore!!! I think I may have just found the cause of a lot of neck problems! THANK YOU

[@FrontRowwithEd]

You are very welcome! It usually takes a week or two, but the tennis should subside. Remember, not to overdo it, good luck.

[@ZandraGanja]

This comment truth❤

[@Vybz187]

Getting my shoulder knots massaged makes me want to cry it hurts so bad! Lmao

[@firstnamelastname9215]

My pain in high school would make it hard to breathe. It was painful now as an adult it just gets tight and cause discomfort but wish it would just be gone

[@rnkim2564]

no, heaven would be a live in masseuse for an hour massage every morning when you awoke

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Yeah that sounds good!

[@cee8876]

😊

[@Scrugglez]

Holy ducking shit thank you. My left shoulder instantly felt better.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome, I’m glad it helped you!

[@KrisandaFitnessWestPerth]

That spot gets to me on both sides, will try this

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Let me know if it helps!

[@KingsColas]

This particular pain has been causing me pain right thru to my chest from my back. For days now...

[@FrontRowwithEd]

This may help explain things better for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2O9o4GZbtmio9k Hope you feel better!

[@Patatoskr]

Unfortunately for me the pain doesn't go away. It does feel nice but the pain never leaves. It's unbearable 😔

[@tiffandfam7466]

Me too 😩

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

Same it's making me miserable

[@dsans6289]

Same! Woke up with a knot and tried to manually massage it, didn't work. Used one of those at home massage machines, felt good and could finally move my left arm better. Woke up the next day, the knot had doubled in size and extremely sore to the point is hurts to breathe in deeply. Laying in any position hurts badly but on my side is the worst with shooting pain...help! 😢

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

I bought some aspercream lidocainefor roll on and some muscle lotion for pain and been doing wonders.

[@LorieLindsey-1234]

I’m living with that pain also and I’m trying to get my doctors to understand what I’m trying to describe to them. I have a large knot and when I rub it on a corner door frame you can hear it. It so painful

[@abhishekcmukhia7914]

Seeing u doing that makes me feel heaven and tears coming

[@jenniferspeers6537]

this was very helpful. thank you!

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome, you are very welcome!

[@peterameh2638]

Thank you. I have had this pain somewhere around my shoulder blade. It is bad that it affects my hand as it is kind of weak and also goes down to my legs. I have seen a physiotherapist who has recommended some exercises, I carried them out religiously for 3 months or more but no improvement. I went for massage, and it got worse after the muscle was massaged. Please I need help as this is really uncomfortable and painful as well

[@juliepomp5843]

Thank you! I need this.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

You are very welcome Julie!

[@Mustyvv]

I had in the past used the tennis ball against the wall to find the knots in my traps, but couldn’t access the sore parts but after putting my right arm out and pulling shoulder blades out the ball reaches the right spots

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome!

[@navinvarma1999]

It’s been 7 months I have a pain

[@-R_H]

Very painful heaven… acupuncture also gets rid of this instantly. That was heaven!

[@magpie1492]

Oooh, had this yesterday, spasms so bad it hurt to breathe. Put myself into some funny positions to try and ease the pain ☹️ .

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Sorry to hear that, hope the exercises help!

[@mikeyflush]

This released a knot I’ve been trying to get rid of for 2+ weeks 🙌

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome, good to hear!

[@rahmamzali867]

If you don't have a tennis ball just use an apple and do it while sitting on a chair and that's what I did

[@FrontRowwithEd]

That works also!

[@Matty217]

Thank you sir. I have been using a hockey ball like you show for a while. But until now haven’t quite found the spot. However your tip of stretching the arm over helped open up the area. So massive thanks. 😊

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Excellent!

[@jasdhillon9200]

This worked a treat. Got the ball right on the knot and boy did it hurt in a pleasurable way😂

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Excellent!

[@zoweyscookingchannel5180]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Tequilamamacita]

Are you supposed to massage the know sides ways or up and down?

[@Fbih2o]

The way you are” chicken winging” your arm is how I dislocated my shoulder bc of a muscle knot there. ( dont do if ur hypermobild)

[@GospelOfTimothy]

The tennis balls keep sliding around. Maybe you have a coursee wall.

[@AnnemarieMytka]

My body is muscle stiffness and pain?

[@carolcochrane3637]

I've been doing the tennis ball trick for years but did not realize that I needed to had my arm in a position to help open up that area in the back. Thank you for the information I definitely will try that tonight

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Happy to help!

[@aadityaahire4825]

Thank you man I used a massage gun and works wonders

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Awesome!

[@cj18519]

Hey, when I move my shoulder blade it is very crunchy (both sides but one much more), shoulder blades are grinding and don’t move smoothly. Besides that my shoulder joints pop very often I mean I’m popping them, but they are more likely to pop after grinding my scapulas. What would you advise me to do? Thank you veeery much for your work, amazing video as always man👊

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Try this exercise and let me know how it goes kzbin.info/www/bejne/npm0nJWabNuZp7ssi=DUcequUCxF_w472v

[@tajvir]

yes

[@copelandrone948]

Could hardly move without a strict pain in that area. Used a lacrosse ball and it helped more than I would have guessed. Thank you

I just developed extreme pain under my left shoulder blade. I think it's a pinched nerve. I can barely look up or reach with my left arm. Isn't constant only when I move or use it. Very painful!

I have a small bump under my skin beside shoulder blade, when it flares up its like a stinging sensation. I drive a lorry for a living so would flare up after sitting for a long period of time. Is this what a knot is? Thanks

[@davidsmith6028]

thank you

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Welcome David!

[@Ogdankwafflez]

I have such bad knots in that exact area it pinches a nerve and or muscle, causing my right pec muscle to not contract on alot of chest exercises thus causing a size imbalance. Makes me wanna blow my 🧠s out.

[@RaisinToast1]

I use the edge of my wall.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Perfect!

[@idealcommentary]

Brilliant bro

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@Taichigirl311]

Hi i did this actually bf even i watched this video but i think i pulled too much and now have pain under scapula🙈can it be just i pulled a muscle?

[@OGMoses_]

I live with this pain I think I have a permanent knot only deep heat gives me temporary relief.

[@ceiza5183]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Welcome 🙏🏼

[@jonathanwick5582]

Thank you for this video. Sadly i cannot pin point the pain exactly even through pressure. Maybe its behind the scapula or the scapula itself. I dunno

[@FrontRowwithEd]

If you are having pain in an area, but cannot find a muscle that is tender, it could be referred pain from another area. Just a thought..

[@Namisaur]

Nice. This helped me regain a bit of my shoulder mobility and mildly reduced the pain I felt while doing an arm swing (for hitting volleyball)

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Excellent!

[@Ya-got-boyf]

Holy shit. It worked.😂😂😂

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Excellent!
