How We Treat Shoulder, Chest & Upper Back Pain
No cookie-cutter massage — every session is a custom strategy to restore mobility and end pain. Each visit blends advanced therapies — no add-ons, no hidden costs:
Modalities Used:
-
✔ RAPID NeuroFascial Reset → Interrupts pain signals causing frozen shoulder, scapular tension & nerve irritation
-
✔ Trigger Point Therapy → Clears rotator cuff, pec & biceps trigger points that refer pain into the arm, chest & upper back
-
✔ Myofascial Release → Unwinds adhesions in pec minor, scapula & thoracic fascia that restrict posture, breathing & mobility
-
✔ Advanced Lymphatic Support → Reduces inflammation & swelling in overused shoulders, arms & postural muscles
-
✔ Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) → Restores shoulder & thoracic mobility for lifting, rotation & athletic performance
-
✔ Targeted Cupping & Breathwork → Releases chest/upper back tension & regulates stress locked in the thoracic region
-
✔ Core & Diaphragm Release → Improves breathing mechanics & reduces strain feeding into shoulder & mid-back stiffness
WHERE DOES IT HURT?
You may feel it in your shoulder or arm—but the root cause could be a stuck fascia, compressed nerve, or overactive trigger point. We specialize in finding exactly where your body is holding tension—and releasing it .
⚡ Common Upper Body Pain Patterns We Treat
-
Frozen Shoulder → Painful lifting & limited range of motion that stalls daily life & training.
-
Front Shoulder Pain → Posture strain, overuse, or pec tightness pulling the shoulder forward.
-
Back Shoulder Pain → Often tied to rotator cuff or scapular imbalance, limiting strength & reach.
-
Arm Pain & Biceps Tendinitis → Inflammation, nerve compression, or overload from lifting & throwing.
-
Chest Pain → Fascial restrictions in pec minor & intercostals that restrict breathing & posture.
-
Upper Back Pain → Tension between the shoulder blades, common with desk work & heavy training.
-
Mid-Back Stiffness → Thoracic immobility & fascia adhesions that affect rotation & performance.
-
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome → Numbness, tingling, or aching down the arm from nerve compression.
🏆 Sports Most Impacted by Shoulder, Arm, Chest & Back Pain
Pain doesn’t just stop at the neck—it disrupts your performance, focus, and recovery.
Football Athletes
Impact and overhead throws lead to rotator cuff strain, chest tension, and nerve compression.
Volleyball Players
Frequent hitting and blocking tightens pecs, shoulders, and upper back fascia.
Jiu-Jitsu, MMA & Wrestling
Blocking and grappling stress the neck-shoulder junction and upper thoracic region.
Swimmers
Repetitive strokes create imbalances and thoracic outlet risk.
