Rhomboid Pain (Shoulder Blade Discomfort)

[@202cardline]

It's crazy how I will contort my body every which way to try and find something that helps, but then Bob and Brad come along and show me something I've never done before, and it makes all the difference. I'm 24 and have come into quite a few chronic health problems, but this channel makes me excited to take charge. Also my back feels better :D

[@FitLabb]

Great video! I’ve found the rhomboids & lower/mid trapezius are often weaker & neglected muscle groups, which can lead to imbalances & even pain over time. The stretching & basic strengthening exercises you showed in this video are great because anyone can do them easily from the comfort of their own homes. 👍💪

[@Katy-ye1zr]

Yes that is what happened to me - am now left with lifelong nerve damage even with surgery I eventually got however I believe if anyone had pinned down what was going on could have been avoided with the right phys therp/chiros- sadl I did heavy janitorial work with improper tools for my height and left handedness - life goes on ;)

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!!

[@BobandBrad]

@@Katy-ye1zr sorry to hear this 😞

[@socalgal007]

Thx appreciate all your videos. Have helped me with minimizing or eliminating pain.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear, so happy we can help

[@DOLfirst]

Just what I needed! Thank you very much.

[@BobandBrad]

You’re very welcome!

[@rosie_._youtube]

Its like "Car Talk" but for your body vehicle. Remember Car Talk? I think they were from Boston. I get the same vibe of two very knowledgeable teachers, patient, and humorous. Keep it up Bob & Brad!

Oh how I miss "Click and Clack" they were always so much fun! And we learned something new in every episode.

[@JaMeshuggah]

Oh yesss

Thank you!!

[@oskararnarson]

Talk about destiny, found a video about COPD on your channel for my dad and then your latest video is about how to work on the pain that made me quit the gym years ago... This is a good day. Thank you.

[@BobandBrad]

There’s something good in every day 😊 we are happy we could help making your day good 👍

[@mariesong729]

These are great ideas! Also was just talking to a coworker about this exact thing. I’m sharing this video with her for sure

[@BobandBrad]

Awesome, thanks for sharing 😊♥️

[@lindakurman8642]

Thanks guys. Gotta try. I get sharp stabbing in that area. Good exercise

[@paulaj7682]

When I was younger I used to sew. If I spent too much time hunched over the machine I would get that. The sharp stabbing localized pain right between my shoulder blades. It would have been nice to have access to all this knowledge back then. I'm in physical therapy now for another back issue. Good luck with alleviating your pain.

[@lindakurman8642]

Yes I have that sewing as well. Good luck with your pains

[@BobandBrad]

Hope this helps!!

[@lindakurman8642]

Thank u!!

[@slomo1716]

You guys are GREAT, as I sit here watching, you've got me doing the "W" exercises. So Inspirational. Thanks!!!

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to help !

[@seanconnors6670]

Hi bob and brad currently in my first year of my bachelors degree on the way to become a physical therapist, would love to see a video on some of the day to day events and tasks as a dpt and what you love most about it. I’m currently also viewing shadowing options near me

[@Anna-jl7ed]

Thank you! You both are a Godsend!

[@michaelol]

Crazy I started getting pain here like last week and you guys make a video about it. I probably get the pain from carrying my backpack around

[@BobandBrad]

Very possible! Happy to help 😃

[@JustBreathewithRachelGreene]

That always feels so good! I have a client with nerve pain shooting down right arm. Would this help?

[@BobandBrad]

It could. We would just suggest if any pain comes from doing it, stop immediately. Don’t continue thinking the pain will go away.

[@zoa333]

exactly what I needed!!! thank you :)

[@Brooke-bl3yq]

i had my case of shingles on the right rhomboid. Nerves there? Pain sensations like static return periodically.

[@BobandBrad]

Sorry to hear that

[@JustJodie]

Brad: "I highly suggest, take your sock and tennis ball to work" Bob: "A clean sock" We can only hope this happens. Thank you for making me laugh

[@BobandBrad]

Lol 😊

[@rajindernijjer]

You lot are giving wrong advice, I've tryed all of these none worked. And I actually got teraciac mobility problem.

[@cubeincubes]

My Physical Therapist recommended Myofascial massage, I have no clue what it is but I’ve been watching you guys a while and never heard it mentioned. Any thoughts?

[@retro1reactive]

That's what they were doing with the balls on the 4 min mark.

[@mrsweedwalker]

No tennis balls in the house but I do have some Woolsie dryer balls. I just put one of those in a sock and it works great. Thanks guys!

[@-The-Golden-God-]

Re the thumbnail: is that not upper back?

[@moonmadd]

No the coworker won’t bring their own sock and ball, lol. They will just take yours. lol. I’ve seen this first hand.

[@kberlyc32]

Bob needs to stop filming with a drunk on. Getting old hearing him slur

[@treebrune4936]

He had surgery in his mouth and the scar tissue is making him slur. Be a nicer person.

[@tonymaurice4157]

Please stop talking so much and enough with the dumb jokes.. just get to the exercises!!

[@julie804]

Oh man, the rhomboid muscles can cause so much pain. One of the worst pains I've experienced. My daughter hurt hers too.

[@BobandBrad]

So true. Hopefully this helped!

[@LillyoftheValleyAZ]

That’s the pain I have today. I’m a road map of aches and pains. 🤣

[@BobandBrad]

Sorry to hear, hopefully this helped!

[@TheZambie1]

4.4 million subscribers. Wow. You guys rock. Thanks for everything

[@christinerobinson9372]

Oh Lordy it's very painful. Also, I can not get down on the floor. And if I do manage it, I can't get back up. I don't have a workbench or a hard surface to lay on like you are sitting on. Ah! The wall! I have walls!

[@MaruyaSAg]

Since you guys are talking of rolling balls on the back, would a shiatsu massager be a good option. It has continuous turning balls and can be positioned anywhere on the back? That way, ppl won’t have to lie in their backs on the floor (which might be difficult for some ppl).

[@rebeccaclark1347]

You two lift my spirits and inspire me to try more movement in my disabled, sedentary life. God bless you and yours! Keep the clips coming!

[@BobandBrad]

So happy to hear this! Will do 😀

[@wo-and-lo-yinz]

hi,while punching a light boxing bag it felt like i tore a muscle off of my spine.the next day i had pleurisy.would this help with that kind of injury?

[@BobandBrad]

It’s possible, however if you experience any more pain or new pain with the exercise, please stop immediately and consult your doctor.

[@chrissyfitzgerald8596]

Love the vids always very helpful thanks 👏👏👏🤔🙋‍♀️

[@MetalChic4life]

I am in constant pain in this area. I have never seen the egg thing I need one of these.

[@johngutierrez2687]

How do you feel about farmers walk and suitcase carries to help posture?

[@GrowingPains917]

These tips only give me temporary relief. Maybe people actually have a small tear in the muscle.

[@brotherfareed4567]

Thanks very much guys.. God bless

😊😀 thanks!

[@bonniepaschal8260]

I have popping and clicking around the shoulder blades. Will try these and hope some strengthening will help. Thank you!

[@BobandBrad]

You’re very welcome !

[@justasojourner7391]

shoulder blade pain for a week after stressing it out. Chiropractor helped but pain returned a day later. Thank you for explaining how deep the pain stems from. I tried the technique of rolling on my cane and within an hour I noticed the pain was finally gone. Thank you so much!

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear !

[@walkertongdee]

Hope you feel better soon Bob.

[@BobandBrad]

😀👍 thanks!

[@Counterbo]

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time

[@danthaman1074]

Working out my mid back helps me but if I skip it the pain comes back

[@BobandBrad]

You may want to get it checked out by your physician just to make sure you aren’t hurting something working out every day that you can’t feel yet. Just to be safe.

[@fazeelalaher6250]

Love you guys So fun to learn with you

[@BobandBrad]

😊 so nice to hear, thanks!

[@DOLfirst]

Never heard the phrase "friendly swearer" lol...I guess that's me. 😁 I don't find it offensive.

[@physio_DK]

Hey there! I'm student of physiotherapy and gald to see this video. Thanks alot for sharing.

[@vandycole52]

I get this pain in the shoulder blade every other month or so usually last 2 to 3 days extremely painful. The pain comes and goes throughout the day. I have a softball in a sock that way I’m able to locate the spot that really hurts. Lay on the ball for about 10 minutes It’s pretty painful doing this but it’s only thing that gives you some relief.

[@kbrookeirish]

Literally icing that muscle right now and this video pops up in my feed. How did you guys know? 😂 Thanks so much!

[@Rockindaxmike]

They must be listening too 😂. I’m foam rolling as we speak

[@robbielanettewallace8314]
