How to Decompress Your UPPER BACK (Between the Shoulder Blades)

Dr. Rowe shows how to decompress your upper back (between the shoulder blades) for QUICK pain relief!

These spinal decompression stretches and exercises are geared towards relieving pressure in the spinal discs of the upper and middle back (thoracic spine). How they work is through pulling motions, or TRACTION. Think of a very good stretch that helps open up the spine.

This is effective in many ways, such as helping to decrease muscle and joint stiffness and taking pressure off pinched nerves that may be causing sharp, shooting pains across the back and shoulder blade area.

All of these decompression exercises are safe, effective and can be done AT HOME! As a bonus, you may find they give upper back pain relief in as little as 30 SECONDS!

Watch now and learn how to decompress your upper back at home!

Dear Doctor Rowe, I am in Australia and found your YouTube about 2 years ago, for which I'm so glad and grateful.
Ever since, I've tried quite a few of yours, all worked for me! (Except the one for tinnitus).
Waking up this morning, I had an acute upper back pain, especially on the right side. So, .I just searched yours and found this one. I followed a few movements, the acute pain was gone! Only a bit mild pain. Remembering that one for the right arm pain (which I followed and worked!), I applied Australia Tea Tree oil to that affected area, asked my husband to use a spoon to scratch it. The moment he said my skin has turned very red, I know it's working! Sure enough, by this afternoon, the pain has completely gone! Only a bit minor uncomfortable.
I can't thank you enough and want to let you know that many of your videos 2 or 3 years old, . still work for me. And it's very easy to find the one I need. I dared to recommend your videos to my relatives and friends, because you have included your details at beginning of each video.
A heartfelt big thank you ❤

I have dealing with my back pain below on my shoulder blade for 3 years. After the sheet stretch it doesnt hurt anymore, ON GOD! thank you so much. You just gained a new subscriber 🙏💯

This has given me massive relief after 1.5 years of pain. Mri showed a small Theoratic disk bulge after a blow to my back from behind when I was sitting and facing the opposite way and has no idea so didn’t brace etc. Spine specialist is convince all my upper pain in between shoulder blades and radiating all around the left side of ribs is not connected to the bulge. After seeing a thoracic bulge video on you tube one of the comments mentioned spinal decompression and so I googled exercises and it led me here! I can’t believe that nhs professionals here in uk seem unaware of these exercises and have not much knowledge of thoracic spine. Thank you I will continue and I hope eventually for full recovery.

Man. You are a legend
I’ve been feeling pain on my upper back. I felt like it needed a decompression. I followed your instructions and the pain went away completely. I am really shocked on how this really helped. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I can't tell you how much the middle of the night stretch has saved my life. I have been suffering from severe pain in my upper back for over a year. I've been to several chiropractors and have gotten minimal to no relief. I have been doing that stretch multiple times a day and my pain has disappeared. The first couple times I did it, it was like a machine gun going off. Now only ever 1 or 2 slight pops. THANK YOU!

[kylerogers]

Bro, when I tell you this came at the perfect time, I really mean the perfect time 👏

[candicebowers]

Thank you so much have been experiencing Upper back pain for two months. Have tried different exercises with no immediate relief. After doing two of your exercises have felt immediate relief. Will be doing them often. I thank you so so much

[maotoledos]

Thank you thank you. The middle of the night fix with a towel worked and it pops just the necessary for relief I wasn’t seeing in weeks

[realhombre]

I was experiencing pretty bad upper back pain about 5 minutes ago. Tried this stretch and it helped a lot! Dropped my pain from like 8 to a 3. You are

[Flowersrbright]

Been doing this for 2 days only and I feel better than I have in 1.5 years such a huge relief! You are a miracle worker thank you 🙏🏻 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[SerratedAMG]

Thanks so much for the video. You saved my life last night. These stretches instantly relieved like 80% of the debilitating tightness right away and sleep removed the last bit of it.

It came out of nowhere by the way.

I had a terrible chest pain in the right side of my chest since early August of 2020. I watched your video on how to pop your chest and I feel so much better. Pain went from super noticeable to not noticeable at all, like it took my breath away because of how much better I feel. About 9 months of having the chest pain and it being noticeable everyday, now its gone and hopefully it stays that way. Thanks so much!

[sarahsevak]

it’s 1:32 am and i just did the middle of the night fix as it is, quite literally, the middle of the night. it felt so good. highly recommend!

[Cleen]

I was going threw hell with my shoulder blades pain and after few days of this exercises, I can finally feel like a healthy person.
Once again, thank You and I wish You best of luck.

[SkeeberSan]

THIS JUST WORKED AND SAVED ME FROM SO MUCH PAIN!!! My back was horribly pinched between my shoulder blades and the door technique worked so quickly for me. Thank you so much I owe you.

[Tacos-and-IceCream]

Wow, thank you so much for this video. It was hurting just to even breathe, I did the very first stretch and it made such a big difference!

[brandonboulton]

I'm a 40 year old Mover. Your suggestions are great. I use them between my weekly visits to my chiropractor. I'm grateful, and still standing straight.

[critters]

This channel is such a blessing! Thank you and God bless you 😇

[Aluminator]

You sir, are the kindest chiropractor there is, sharing knowledge to self apply these techniques! Very clear instructions, very easy to perform!

Today I woke up and was amazed that my right shoulder finally feels almost painless! I am following your instructions for a few days now and am relieved from the pulling forces on the chest-muscles that the rib was causing.

Also did the front pose stuff to release tension from chest, back, shoulders, neck and back muscles Did also massage the muscles a bit to relax even more, the side of my chest was the most sensitive part b.t.w!! But never felt it before!

Today I give my muscles some rest and doing another 1.5 hour session tomorrow to stretch and improve stability and strength! I planned to keep doing this for a few months, with some rest days in between.

I've been walking around for years with build up stress and tension in the muscles all over my body! Had some psychological support for coping with pain and treatment for three hernia's between neck, shoulders and lower back. Because of the hernia's the muscles in my whole body, never wanted to be in a resting position, but kept in a forced tension to keep the spine joints very tight together, even after the hernia's were gone the problems with the muscles still existed. And now finally I can feel releave and the muscles are becoming in a more relaxed state, just as my mind! I can set my intention to the tensed muscle during a session and "tell" it to go back in it's relaxed position! It takes some time, sometimes with muscle twitches and small cramps, but it's controllable! I'm glad I already walked the path of being more connected with the body by mind, I'm doing Wim Hof's breathing technique to regain and improve that connection. This really helps in controlling and connecting with the muscles in my body!

I wanna thank you very, very, very, much!! You sir, are a hero to me!!!
