Upper Back Pain Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Upper back pain physiotherapy treats pain and stiffness between the shoulder blades and in the mid-back, most often linked to posture, long sitting and weak upper back muscles.

Desk and laptop workers, students, drivers, new parents who feed and carry babies, and people with scoliosis or thoracic stiffness.

It commonly helps with scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis, cervical spondylosis and neck pain physiotherapy. Rib joint pain and posture-related stiffness are also common.

Less aching, easier breathing and turning, better posture tolerance and fewer headaches linked to neck and upper back tension.

Manual therapy restores movement in stiff thoracic joints, soft tissue work eases tight muscles, and strengthening of the shoulder blade and upper back muscles keeps the improvement.

We check thoracic and neck movement, shoulder blade control, breathing, posture and work setup, and rule out non-musculoskeletal causes of upper back pain.

After a quick check on how you have been since the last visit, the session combines hands-on treatment or electrotherapy where it helps, such as manual therapy and myofascial release, with guided exercises like thoracic extension and scapular retraction. It ends with an updated home programme.

It is usually combined with manual therapy, myofascial release, heat therapy (thermotherapy), interferential therapy (IFT) and cupping therapy, depending on your assessment and how you respond.

Common exercises include thoracic extension, scapular retraction, chin tucks, cat cow stretch, wall slides and upper trapezius stretch. They start at a comfortable level and are progressed as you improve.

A session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, covering a progress check, treatment and an update to your home exercises.
