The Real Reason Posture Correctors Don't Fix Your Back Pain
Upper back pain can be frustrating—especially when it shows up as pain between the shoulder blades or keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch or strengthen. In this in-depth video, I explain why upper and mid back pain isn’t just a muscle issue, how posture, breathing, fascia, and the nervous system all play a role, and what actually helps long-term. This is a deep dive, not a quick fix. You’ll learn why pain between the shoulder blades, upper back tension, and mid back discomfort often persist, how common approaches like posture correctors or “no pain, no gain” exercises can miss the root cause, and how to safely support your body with stretches, exercises, and self-care techniques you can do at home. ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 00:00 Introduction: Why Upper Back Pain Keeps Coming Back 01:01 Symptoms of Upper Back Pain (mid back pain, digestion, breathing, nerve symptoms) 07:07 Causes of Upper Back Pain (posture patterns, upper back curve, compensation) 16:39 Posture Correctors (why they don’t fix the root cause of upper back pain) 37:05 Stretches & Exercises for Upper Back Pain (360-degree approach) 01:16:18 Self-Care Techniques for Upper Back Pain (daily habits, sleep, sitting) 01:21:46 When to See a Physician for Upper Back or Mid Back Pain 🔵 Products That Support the Techniques in This Video: 🔷 Amazon Basics 6 Piece Oversized Fade-Resistant Towel Set (B00Q7JESL0) (Multiple sizes for flexible use) https://amzn.to/44zAMj9 🔷 Tennis Balls, 20 Pack (B0CF8FB3PR) (Multiple tennis balls allow for flexibility) https://amzn.to/490IDHV 🔷 Pressure Positive Co.
