Shoulder Blade Pain
About two weeks ago I received two emails from my “Ask A Question” section on my blog one asking about ankle pain (which I’m still working with her with more questions) and another with shoulder blade pain from golfing.
I have referred to the shoulder pain reader: Pain In The Shoulder http://www.stressedoutstressfree.com/stressed-with-a-pain-in-the-shoulder/ and on Posture http://www.stressedoutstressfree.com/how-to-sit-straight/ for the time being because at that time, I was having a problem with my Mac and had to be sent in to Apple to be fix. Here’s the video.
In This Video You Will Find:
– The cause
– How to identify a good muscle and a pain muscle
– How to prepare the muscle
– Technics and tip on how to work on the muscle yourself
ENJOY! 🙂

Hi welcome to another video. My name is Vincent Woon in this video I’m going to answer a question form my “ASK A QUESTION” section of my blog from one of my readers.
Due to privacy policy I’ve copy an paste our email conversation to Pages. The question was asking for help with pain under shoulder blade.
He said he found my videos in YouTube and went on to my blog and this is his story. He said have sudden pain under his left shoulder blade & at first he thought it was a torn trapezius. He googled and found this website and showed me the picture here which is the subscapularis muscle and went on pain when he lift his arm up over his shoulder and at the same time lean forward or sideways. Also painful when he is coughing.
He discovered that if he pull his shoulders back real tight cough, there’s no pain.
He went on and he said he can’t think of anything specific but he mention intense golf – haven’t played for 10 years & started playing a lot for 3 weeks now he is hitting 50 in a couple of months. And haven’t sort any medical/chiropractic or physiotherapy help yet
I asked him if he can point out where the pain/pains is? Whether it’s in middle left or upper right of the subscapularis muscle base on the pic on the link he sent me.
He said it’s feel’s like it’s under the shoulder blade but suspect it’s something else and sent me to this website.This site explain the symptoms of where he thinks the pain is. BUT Can’t really id which point he feel the pain – how should he go about locating the point? By pressing on it? How should it feel?
Ok! I’m going to show you three steps to shoulder blade reliefNumber one to locate where the pain is, In order to locate where the pain is, you have to figure out what is a good muscle and what is a pain muscle.
How do you figure out what is a good muscle and a muscle in pain? A good muscle should feel like, for instance there’s no pain on your arm…you just touch here, see how mushy it is how bouncy it is. It’s nice and soft, the muscle feels like normal..no pain.
He said he had a pain on the left shoulder so in order to compare to that he has to press to feel the right shoulder and see if there’s a difference. The right shoulder he should feel soft and mushy nice and no pain just like how we felt on the hand and on the pain area you will feel tightness and when you press on it you will feel the pain. The tightness is what we call knots.
Now that we know the difference between a good muscle, a pain muscle or tight muscle..When we work on it you can feel how the tight muscle will become the soft muscle and you can see the difference.
Second step is to loosen the muscles in the area. What you need to do is look for a wall hand on the wall. 90º for the middle of the shoulder blade, 45º is for the lower part of the shoulder blade, 135º is for the upper part of the shoulder.
135º for the upper part, 90º for the middle of the shoulder blade, 45º is for the lower part and let take a look of the side view, one step forward hand on the wall and stretch make sure you bend your knees.
Let’s take a look at he front view, step forward and stretch make sure your knee is bend.
Now that we have number one locate where the pain is, number two loosen it up and number three I’m going to show you how to work on it. We go straight to the point of the area where you feel the pain, put some pressure on it, Make sure you use the tip of your fingers, here finger pads press on it and then move backwards, forwards, backwards, forwards. Let me show you the front view backward, forwards, backwards and forwards, back and forward.
And you can also turn it this way, start with a small circle and probably bigger go forward and then backward. Small circle and big circle.
You can also have somebody rub on it and as you rub on it or you can rub it yourself like such, you can use your other hand to support your elbow and just rub this way.
The pain is here and the muscle over here is going this direction, so what you are doing is you are rubbing against the muscle this way and as you rub you can feel that the muscles become softer like the muscle that you felt the good muscle in this area here earlier and that’s when you know the muscle is loosen up and the pain will be gone!
Basically what this does is when you rub you create circulation to the area and when there’s circulation to the area it will take away knots and stuff. When that’s circulation there’s oxygen and oxygen oxygenate the place/area and it will loosen up the pain
Thank you very much for watching and if you have any question, pleas feel free to ask me in the comment box below and if you like it share it with your friends. And don’t forget to visit my blog at http://StressedOutStressFree.com at the blog yo can subscribe for my weekly newsletter on stress and health and I see you in the next video.

[..YouTube..] Hello, when I apply presure on my left shoulder just as you have shown, the pain goes away when I move my shoulder around. But if I remove the pressure, the pain is back. Is this for sure the muscles being tight with knots has you have mentoned, or can it be tendons and ligaments that are damaged based on the info I gave you. I only did some light shoulder exercises in the gym and I know for sure I did not here anything pop or anytbhing, I felt fine until day later or 2.. Thanks alot, Anthony
[..YouTube..] Anthony you have to do it a few time a day until the knots are completely broken down. I normally work on it until it’s gone, it all depends on your pain threshold. Most important is to listen to your body, if it’s too painful Stop! otherwise keep on going 🙂
[..YouTube..] i’ve been with torn trapezium since 2008,i injured myself in boxing when i tried throwing a hook, my elbows as well as my back get swell up, do you think i need a surgery or it’s because i have been doing wrong therapies. i also feel popping in the trapezium. could these therapies work out
[..YouTube..] Why did I get here from a step brothers video?
[..YouTube..] Is the swell you mentioned happened in 2008 or you are experiencing it now? If what you were describing was in the past, you can always try this technique and let me know how it goes 🙂
[..YouTube..] torn in 2008, but i’ve been experiencing swelling

[..YouTube..] Hi, Thanks for the Video. It’s nice & simple. I have pain in my right upper shoulder join for a month. It’s not sever pain but I feel the pain only if i Lift my hand above the shoulder.Reason would be, I played Tennis so long & hard that I never used to before. For one month I’m relaxing the shoulder. It’s getting little better but not completely. Can you suggest any fast recovery Or should I see a physician?Can I start work out with light weights?

[..YouTube..] Always remember to warm up before any sports. Stay off the weights until you are completely heal, you don’t want the re-injured the muscle. Look for the pain on your shoulder and use the technique from “Stressed? Tried Shoulder Pain Relief But Still Having Pain” video from my channel… Let me know! 🙂

[..YouTube..] I went through some major stress this week and have been experiencing shoulder and neck pain along with headaches that doesn’t seem to go away with medication. What do you recommend techniques involving massages or stretches for the different type of headaches? I feel that I’m losing my balance and about to fall but I don’t fall down at all. I just feel off balance. I watched your video about how to crack the neck but I cannot seem to do it.
