Often, this rhomboid pain can be a bit perplexing to a trigger point therapist, only showing itself after a successful treatment for another upper back or neck pain complaint. ![]() Trigger points in several muscles can cause this type of pain but the pain produced by the rhomboid trigger points tends to persist longer than the others. These people will complain of a nagging pain between their shoulder blades, usually on just one side of their back but sometimes on both sides. This is because their rhomboid muscles have been weakened by trigger point activity and can’t do their job. Their chest will be flat, if not concave, and their shoulders will be pulled forward, not back. I’m telling you this because the posture of a person with active rhomboid trigger points will be the exact opposite of that “stud” posture described by my friend. It always gets a laugh, but he does this to physically represent the muscular action of the rhomboid muscles. Whenever he teaches about the rhomboid muscles he sticks his chest out and pulls his shoulders back like a cocky young guy strutting his stuff at a night club. ![]() I have a friend who is a great anatomy teacher.
