I want to provide an evidence based comment after experimenting with these exercises for 2 months. I really tried hard not to come back to comment on this video after experiencing relief the first time I did these exercises. I can’t tell you how much these exercises have changed my life for the better. I started experiencing this pain on my right side on 9/4/22, which landed me in the ER because the pain was a 10/10 and I couldn’t even breastfeed my son without pain, there I was diagnosed with right shoulder impingement and given narcotics since I couldn’t move my right arm above my head. I now know it was because of rhomboid pain and the root causes Coach E talked about in his video. For 8 months (before watching this video), I did all the exercises recommended by my PCP and PT for shoulder impingement, getting minimal relief (and that’s being generous). Not to mention during the 8 months, on several occasions when the pain was a 10/10, I took ibuprofen religiously and had rhomboid pain transfer to my left side. In essence, I got worse over time. After 2 months of doing these exercises daily, at least once/day and in the beginning (first 2 weeks) I did them twice/day, I have never needed another massage or pain meds. The first time you do these exercises will be tough, especially if you have severe pain like me. Coach E says what you should expect perfectly in his video. I noticed immediate relief after doing the exercises for the full set for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. Seemed like a miracle. As I continued doing them, I was able to do things I wasn’t able to do like lift up my young children in and out of their car seats and crib, or raise my arms above my head. Not being able to do those things put me in serious depression, I self medicated with ibuprofen thinking it was doing something. I now know what has been causing my pain thanks to Coach E’s articulation of the root causes. I will also mention that I failed to do the exercises for 2 days straight last week and the pain came back to a 6/10 which I haven’t felt since before starting these exercises. I immediately went to do the exercises when the pain woke me up at 3am and I got relief immediately after the first set, pain level probably went down to a 2-3/10. Again, no pain meds or massage were needed even with experiencing the pain at 6/10 for a short time. I hope my experience convinced someone on here going through life with this awful pain to give the exercises a try. You’ve got nothing to lose. The comments alone are powerful testimonies of the relief you’ll get.
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for leaving your feedback and for your kind words. Too bad you had to suffer for so long but you're out of the woods now! For more lasting relief, if you haven't yet got it I suggest our Shoulder Pain Solution program (www.precisionmovement.coach/shoulder-pain-solution). The exercises in this video are awesome, but to truly address the root cause(s) requires a progressive and systematic approach over time with many exercises to wake up all the muscles of the body and ensure your movement patterns are good. But definitely continue to use these as a "band-aid" and to prevent the pain from returning! Coach E
@@PrecisionMovementCoach hi Coach E, I do all those shoulder exercises in every video you’ve ever made. So, I start with these exercises daily but I also do the shoulder ones too. Thank you so much for changing my life for the better! Blessings to you
7 physiotherapists, 3 chiropractors and 2 national health Drs later over 7 years and I finally get a result that works from P.M. on UA-cam. Says a lot about the medical profession at large. No repeat patients = no money. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Nuff love.
I'm here 5 years into chasing (and working my ass off) for relief. Not yet had anyone said "rhomboid" to me. This video is a lightbulb moment so I'm glad I clicked on it, because honestly I'm exhausted from trying to educate, diagnose, and heal myself. Doc just wants me on pain pills and thinks I'm stubborn for not giving up on fixes.
@@jerrysizzler44 If your healing takes more than 3/4 weeks you need to get some zinc-l-carnosine and magnesium glycinate chelate as the nerves that feed electricity to the muscle will struggle to heal without these 2 essential elements as they are the main elements that re-build-the-nerves and the myelin sheath. 90% of the world's population is deficient in these elements. If you get acid reflux.....gerd.....or hiatus hernial symptoms with a small hernia these elements will definitely help. Try it, you have nothing to lose everything to gain. It worked for me in less than a week. good luck and lots of love Jerrysizzler44.
Multiple doctors 10 MRIS , 10+ years no mention of the Scoliosis. Finally diagnosed properly by a Neurologist. So Neuromuscular Scoliosis and about 12 others diagnosis ugh oh yea 3 pinched nerves and multiple disc problems cervical, thoracic and lumbar. 5 surgeries later I am at least getting better I can stand up (not 4 long) 😂😂😂
I've been suffering from pain "right there" on my right side, which I now think must be rhomboid pain, for about a decade. Recently I started to get back massages regularly (which helps temporarily), and the masseur told me I have trigger points there. But I always think I shouldn't have to do that, to be pain free. I performed these exercises after watching this video, and I'm already feeling some relief. You are a godsend. Thank you very much!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Hello!... just open your video and guess what?,,, I'm sitting here in Urgent Care waiting to be seen for right shoulder blade / right shoulder and arm pain for 1 week
I've been experiencing this pain on and off for years. Interestingly, I always seem to have this pain (rhomboid or back pain) during vacations. At those times, I'm usually quite lazy, spending too much time on the sofa with my cellphone. It's frustrating that I always have this pain during vacations. I'm currently in the last few days of my vacation, and the pain has returned. I should mention that I started regular exercises before my holiday, which might be the reason why I didn't experience this pain at the beginning of the vacation, but now, towards the end. I want to thank you so much for saving my last days of vacation. It felt like a miracle - I experienced such relief from these exercises. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM TÜRKİYE!
You are welcome and make a very good point. Just becuase you are changing something in your schedule doesn't mean that you should stop your movement habit. The ROM Coach app contatins a Daily Movement Tuneup that only takes 5 - 15 min to do. It's perfect for vacations. Check it out here and let us know what you think: www.precisionmovement.coach/rom-yt Talk to you soon :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Omg. I have had a pain in my rhomboids since I started an office job, with a weird clunky rotator's cuff. I tried this yesterday only once and I woke up with no pain. Went through the entire day with very minimal pain. My shoulders still pretty clunky but I wasn't expecting to see any results in one day anyway. But for the pain THIS IS A GODSEND
This guy is FABULOUS adding articles and graphics! And I am ONLY 5 MINUTES into this video! THANK for all the comments too! It gives me hope! Now onward to lear more and DO ❤
Oh my goodness! I have had this pain for 8 years now off and on and despite seeing a physio and chiropractor it keeps returning. I have been in tears with the pain from my last event and desperately searched You Tube for an answer. Voila! Here you are! Amazingly as soon as I began these exercises my pain level reduced and I can relax at last. Thank you thank thank you - I can't say it enough. So happy to have found you.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. As a painter I’ve struggled with rhomboid pain due to repetitive strain injuries for many years. These exercises have helped immensely. Greatly appreciate this content
Dude I love you, I've had pain I that area for years now, I hated it because a lof of times the pain was so bad I had to stop working out entirely, making me lose all progress. I've done the exercises for 2 days now and surprise, it was more effective than an hour session with a physical therapist and all of their contraptions
Finally - an exercise that actually works. Thankyou so much for 'curing' my continual rhomboid pain. I tried these exercises 3 or 4 times a day for 2 or 3 days and rhomboid pain gone, shoulder pain gone, neck pain gone. Now I will try to keep doing them a few times every day for maintenance to avoid the pain coming back.
I can't believe I found this video. Ive had a bad rhomboid (and assumed I just had a "bad shoulder" from throwing out my arm too much playing baseball which was not true). I just finished these exercises and I feel as free as I did when I was a kid. This video is priceless to me and these exercises will now be apart of my daily routine
I've been dealing with a debilitating trigger point in my thoracic area for a year. PT has been helpful, but I feel like it has had limitations. I just tried these exercises and I can tell that last one is seriously targets my trigger point very well, better than anything I've done so far. I also like your explanation of the mechanics of why I have the problem and why the exercise may solve it. Thank you.
I think the idea of disassociation movements is gold and we need more of that in the mobility and pain relief spaces of the fitness community. It’s so easy to prescribe an exercise that should theoretically help with symptoms but ends up just perpetuating dysfunction through associated movement patterns. Great work-please keep it up!
Couldn't agree more here. Particularly for me who have developed associated muscle habits through years of uneducated lifting - focusing on weight vs form and targeting.
So my husband and I both have a curve in the same spot right below the romboids. I have tried so many exercises to release the muscles. This is the first and best set of exercises and explanation of what causes the pain we experience. Thank you!
Honestly, I think you’ve actually saved my life and I haven’t even tried the exercises yet. For near 3 years I’ve had problems in THE EXACT AREAS YOUVE SHOWN, I’ve never been able to explain the symptoms to anyone, but you’ve answered haha. I’m serious, 3 years of this and I’m ready to give up, if this works I’ll genuinely owe you. Subbed.
Did it work? I've had left side pain in this shoulder blade spot especially while sitting for past 6 years. Hope this helps. No one seems to understand ❤
How worked for you? I am with this kind of paint for last year and now it spread to my neck. All the time they said at physiotherapy that I have blocked neck(but never felt pain in it) but last week it spread to mine neck too :/ so I am trying to solve it myself somehow since physiotherapy is like once a month (due to lots of ppl) and doesn't seem doing much :(
Excellent exercises as I was dealing with this rhomboid issue for over a month and came across your video by accident. I am 66 years old and a weight lifter for over 40 years and this issue cropped up, I believe it might have been attributed by my 2-6 hold bar hanging for over 65 seconds per session thinking it was helping my spine but then developed this issue of rhomboid pain. I stopped doing the bar hanging and implemented your techniques and found immediate relief. I appreciate that it's simple, but very affective for me plus it doesn't take a-lot of time to perform. Your voice inflections and presentation was very nice and calming. Thank you so much. I definitely subscribed to your channel.
Thanks Dave... you might have just pinpointed how I ended up with what seems to be rhomboud pain.. I I do quite a bit if bar hanging too and when this hit, if I recall, was trying muscle ups besides hanging.. thanks.
For fifty years my neck has pulled to the left. All the different types of doctors tried with no success. I was mad until you said 2022. So, now I have a big job. Thank you for your clear explanaton. No pain after those exercises in traps. Hopefully the neck muscles will lengthen. Thank you very much . You are an excellent teacher. I have kept your videos and will continue to review them.
Hello Patricia, Not sure if you'll ever see this but just in case...Have you been checked for cervical dystonia by neurologist? When you said pulling that's not a normal feeling. I have circle dystonia my head post to the right and I'm treated by neurologist which gave me my life back. Just thought I would mention this in case that's your problem. Took two and a half years to get a proper diagnosis for me. Good luck
Thanks so much, this is one of the best video's I have come across. I have suffered with Rhomroid pain for 4 years. With this video in a few sessions I could fell the difference. I have downloaded the app and looking forward to using this over the coming weeks. Thanks so much.
After 25 years and a bit more of resistance training I overdeveloped my anterior chain (massive unbalance) in May 2020 which left me with an injury on the levator scapulae, rhomboids, shoulder and trapezius -Also caused by hanging on my weight while doing pull ups every single day (silliest mistake ever) - so I started this protocol 2 days ago and I must say this has been a miracle as I believe the pain has significantly decreased by 80% and I am convinced I on my way to recovery. I will continue this programme for few more weeks and then keep it permanently (just twice a week) as it also helps correcting posture. Big shot out to Precision Movement and coach E for nailing it on the head! Cheers
Ant. Scap Tilt immediately made me feel so much better than I have in days recently. Thank you so much for this video! I'll be continuing the wall neck side bend as well as ant. scap tilt everyday.
Thanks. This video has been amazing. Years of back pain essentially gone after a few weeks. I have prompts around the house reminding me to do this daily. Many thanks!!
Wonderful! We appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment, and support us. We do what we do for people like you. Let us know if you ever need more advice or assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I just did a Ninja Warrior "type" gym and flared up some serious rhomboid pain! All the secondary muscles that are effected in my neck were all acknowledged in this video. It was so informative to hear you talk about exactly what I am dealing with. I just started doing your exercises and I noticed some relief. I am going to keep at it! Thanks.
I’m currently getting P.T. For an interior glenoid fracture. Now I see why they have me squeezing my shoulder blades together in the back!! Definitely will put more effort into this exercise now that I see why it is important and what movement this muscles facilitates! Thank you!! Excellent video!!
I’ve been struggling with this pain off and on for the past year. Thought I’d tried everything and nothing was helping. Just did these and am already feeling some relief. Thank you so much for sharing this information and explaining it so well. ❤
What a great video! I appreciate the explanation of “why” the most. Having suffered torn supraspinatus on both shoulders from my time in the fire dept. I have had horrible rhomboid pain for years and no-one could explain why.
I tried out your exercises, I think my back was in less pain from doing them just once, I cut the reps down lower, so that I could get use to the movement and not cause myself more pain. I will for sure be watching some of your videos for neck, entire spine, and strengthening , near 70 years old and feeling it! Thank you for sharing 🙏💯💕
So glad I found these and the rhomboid video … already feeling some relief after a year of pain. The second thoracic one on this video gave me a few pops that I’ve been unable to get for a while !
Lifesaver. My god, I’ve been dealing with terrible pains like pinched nerve. It would get numb to touch and prickly pain. I went through all of these and it’s almost fully gone
Oh my gosh you’ve pinpointed exactly where I’ve been having excruciating pain. I’ve been getting adjustments, but still in a great deal of pain. Can’t wait to get these going.
You, my friend, are an angle walking the earth. I am literally crawling thru pain day by day for months unable to find relief; after doing this I have never felt instant relief I wanted to have since months. Thank you so muchh
I’ve been dealing with rhomboid pain for the last 5 years. Like everyone else, I felt defeated and assumed this was going to be status quo for the rest of my life. Well, my wife came across Coach E’s video and passed it along to me. I was skeptical since nothing else has worked, but after ONE CIRCUT of movements I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time. I am VERY EXCITED to commit to these movements and get the results I have long dreamed of. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are seriously a Godsend!
Am 25yrs old and I started having this pain for about 3 weeks now. I will definitely do this exercises and will come back to testify. Thank you so much
The Rombloid ISO really helped me out. During work my right shoulder was bugging me. I did a few sets and within minutes my discomfort went away. The burning sensation disappeared, although I still have slight discomfort. I feel much better. I will do more of your exercises. Thank you 🙏🏽
@@maxplaylist so far it’s helped. The pain back once in a while, but only comes back if I continue on with my bad posture at work or home. As long as I have good posture I’m good 👍🏽
Wow! MUST TRY THIS TODAY. I have had shoulder pain in that area forever and thought it was just my levator scap. Now I know where else to look. Just watching you do these gives me a sense of strength and relieve. Thank you so much!
After riding my Road bicycle for abort 8 years i builded up som serious rhomboid pain. I tryed everything but noting helped. Then on my search on UA-cam for exercices i by qincidence fell over this video. I tryed all 4 exercices for 4 days and my stiffness in upper back is nearly fully gone. This is nearly supernatural!!i am so very happy You are a very clever man . I now enjoy riding my bicycle again. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH this is truly a game changer for me👍🏼👍🏼
Ok. Constant pain in my rhomboid and neck, on the right side, for over 2 years now. I am going to dilligently try these exercises and report back. It is soul crushing to live with constant pain all day, all night. Every day.
That is too long to be in pain. These exercises are a good start but they are just a bandaid. Make sure to check out the resources in video description for more ideas. Especially, the Shoulder Pain Solution program. Let us know if you have any more questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
This is fantastic! I'm so glad I found your channel. A few weeks ago I was actually looking for a video to recommend for a friend's hip pain, found one on your channel, tried out the video myself, and thought it was amazing - so now that I'm having shoulder pain I decided to try out this video! This is exactly the part of my shoulder that is having pain. I love the combination of well researched information, accessible communication of the ideas, visuals to understand anatomy, and jokes and lightheartedness. Explaining what needs to change and then giving exercises and explaining how they help - it's all great. I'll definitely be back for more. Thank you Coach E!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for a reason behind my rhomboid pain and think you've nailed it. I've given the exercises a go and feel confident they''ll really make a difference going forward.
You are so very meant for this. Wonderful all around from content to teaching. I could go on & on about my pain experiences and attempted therapies... but will just leave it at: Thank you!! To breaking cycles 🥂
Excellent video! Thoroughly explained!Loved the anatomy visual as well as the tips on how to properly perform the exercises. Keep up the good work. If I can request can you do a video with causes of upper back cracking or grinding in the thoracic spine? Take care!
Glad that you like the content. Check out the first 3 videos here for ideas on how to make sure that your thoracic spine is moving well: ua-cam.com/users/PrecisionMovementCoachsearch?query=thoracic - Coach Joshua, Team PM

I dislocated my shoulder 10 years ago and have had problems ever since. I get tennis elbow every time I use my arm for any length of time. Plus the rhomboid trigger points. I think I've found the main culprit today. That neck exercise pulled exactly where it hurts in my elbow! I shall be doing all 4 exercises for the next few weeks to see how I get on 🤞
@@sportsboy5935 much better. I've also been following Tom Morrison. Been using resistance band to strengthen rhomboids and core strength stuff. I've found strict press to strengthen the back of my shoulder and triceps. I think the main cause of my arm pain is actually using my smartphone!
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!! Your video is one of the best videos in any category I have ever seen, you actually read research papers!! You video contained everything and was very well executed! Thanks!
This is helpful as I get trigger points in my rhomboids chronically due to Scheuermann kyphosis. So I have around 3 vertebrae fixed in my thoracic spine that cannot really move freely, but hopefully these exercises can help to some extent and at least keep it more or less under control
Great to hear! Thanks for trying them out and commenting. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any more questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I've been following your series of movements for forward head posture (I have bad posture) and I think it's been helping with pain I have in my back. When I do the ASMR (first exercise of the series) I feel bumps (knots?) and sensitive spots in the neck muscle on the same side where I feel pain in my back. However, I'm not sure the pain is in my rhomboid. Looking at where you were pointing in this video (fix rhomboid pain), I think the pain I feel is a little lower than where you indicated the rhomboid is located. Anyway, I'll try adding the rhomboid ISO and the wall neck side bend to my morning routine to see whether this will help further. I'll also try the tweak DIS: shoulder extension. Or is there something you can suggest I try if it's not actually my rhomboid that is causing me pain? Thanks for the videos, I'm learning a lot.
I would pay premium if someone would first perform the exercises in silence and then present the theory and research. Great video and information but the same error as every lecturer repeats. First theory and then examples. Never worked.
I guess that’s the great thing about UA-cam and Eric’s time stamps, you can go straight to the exercises then slide back to the theory in the order you find more appealing for you. 😊
@@megand175 @precisionmovement I just found the precision movement academy which answers all my questions and provides exactly what I need. Eric should link to the programs offered a bit more aggressively/proactively.
I'm so grateful for this video!!! 2 physiotherapists, 1 chiropractor, and 2 osteopaths none of them could diagnose this issue. 1 thought my hips were unaligned, 1 thought it just needed massaging, the physio gave me some back extension exercises to do for some reason. I knew when they were working on me it wasn't what i needed and it wasn't hitting / working the correct area. Finally, someone who knows and understands the issue! Only just started the exercises today but i can tell it's what i've needed and is working on my issue. When watching the video and each point explained my issue it was such a relief to hear! Thanks Eric!!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment. We really appreciate the trust. We are so happy that the exercises are helping and are here if you need additional support. Have a super day :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
THANK YOU FOR THIS EXERCISE. I HAVE TRIED MANY STRETCHES I HAVE SEEN IN FACEBOOK AND UA-cam AND THIS IS BY FAR THE ONES THAT RELAXES MY BACK (JUST A LITTLE PAIN LEFT BUT HAD A HUGE IMPROVEMENT)
Hey There is no word to thank you. Ive been struggling with this for almost 3years now and even swalloing was becoming an issue.I did some massotherapie, physiotherapy, cupping and recently went to a kinetherapeute and havent felt much better till now.And I just came across your video, tried the exercices and a couple mins later im already feeling better.Thanks a lot!God BLESS YOU!!!!
Yikes...that is too long. Thanks for watching and for trying it out. It's great to read about your progress and I know that you will make more :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have suffered from this pain for 15 years. I had any tests and the doctors couldn't help me. This morning I woke up with pain and came across your video and tried it out and I have to say I feel very relaxed, if that is the solution I am infinitely grateful to you.
This is the best video I've seen on relieving this kind of pain. Ive had chroinc issues in this area for 2 decades. I can generate manage it without pain relief but it often wakes me up at night and sometimes stops me from doing things I'd like to do. I really appreciate the explanations of the causes and how the exercises help. Just one round through and things are feeling loosened. I'm now hopeful that i may not have to keep living with this pain.
Wow, two decades....that is too long. Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are here if you ever need more advice or assistance. Check out the resources in the video description. Especially the Shoulder Pain Solution program. Thanks for watching and commenting :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I am so grateful I found this video that breaks down the anatomy of my pain. I've been suffering! Thank you for teaching the root cause of this pain and actually providing education on how to treat my body and heal. After trying these exercises, I'm already feeling better after weeks of pain, and intense stiffness. I can't wait to see what consistency will do. Thanks again!
This explanation really helped me understand the cause of my pain. I couldn't figure it out. Your explanation was so clear. Thank you. I'm going to try these exercises. 👍🏾
Coach Eric thank you for doing this videos. I love that you show what parts of the body you are referring to, now I'm sure it's my rhomboid (minor). The details here are awesome and I can't wait to try these. I know they will work. Thanks Coach Joshua for answering comments!
Thanks so much for this video! I've been experiencing rhomboid pain for a while, my chiropractor explains how I have a curve in my spine which causes some of my problems. I did these exercises as I watched the video, it gave me some relief just in doing the exercises a couple of times for each exercise. I had done, or tried to do some other exercises I'd seen on UA-cam, I'm so stiff it was hard to even do those exercises. These exercises were such an answer for me.
You're so welcome! We are so happy that you found us and look forward to monitoring your progress. Drop a comment any time you like to let us know how you are doing. Keep up the great work and let us know if you ever need more support :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Thank you!! People who sew, (especially for extended periods of time) get this. Your shoulder hunch in the beginning is a perfect example of what we do…I speak from experience!! 😢. Will be trying this asap and sharing! Btw, your Multifidus info has been a godsend. 🥰
Great information! I loved that you shared the articles that you found information in. Then a great range of exercises from warming up to strength building. Thank you so much.
I have had pain in that EXACT spot for 15 years. I've tried cortisone shots, PT, massage, chiropractic care (you name it) and nothing has worked. I did one round of these 4 exercises and I can already tell it's hitting the exact area that needs the work. Thank you so much!
thank you so much. I have been in pain for so long, just doing these movements once through has allowed me to take a deep breath without as much pain. I will continue to do these, thank you for this so very much.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I've had ongoing scapula and rhomboid issues for a while now on one side, which is being treated by seeing a physio, but I'm really keen to see what adding these into my routine does!
Thank you! I have done this routine daily for 4 days and it seems my pain is gone. It has been there for 2 weeks so I really appreciate it. I also installed ROM app as well and I like it so far.
I just found this video as I've had a pinched nerve in either my lower cervical or upper thoracic spine and that last exercise has stopped the dull, numbness I've been experiencing the last few days. THANK YOU!!!! I'll definitely check out your other videos!
I want to provide an evidence based comment after experimenting with these exercises for 2 months. I really tried hard not to come back to comment on this video after experiencing relief the first time I did these exercises. I can’t tell you how much these exercises have changed my life for the better. I started experiencing this pain on my right side on 9/4/22, which landed me in the ER because the pain was a 10/10 and I couldn’t even breastfeed my son without pain, there I was diagnosed with right shoulder impingement and given narcotics since I couldn’t move my right arm above my head. I now know it was because of rhomboid pain and the root causes Coach E talked about in his video. For 8 months (before watching this video), I did all the exercises recommended by my PCP and PT for shoulder impingement, getting minimal relief (and that’s being generous). Not to mention during the 8 months, on several occasions when the pain was a 10/10, I took ibuprofen religiously and had rhomboid pain transfer to my left side. In essence, I got worse over time. After 2 months of doing these exercises daily, at least once/day and in the beginning (first 2 weeks) I did them twice/day, I have never needed another massage or pain meds. The first time you do these exercises will be tough, especially if you have severe pain like me. Coach E says what you should expect perfectly in his video. I noticed immediate relief after doing the exercises for the full set for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. Seemed like a miracle. As I continued doing them, I was able to do things I wasn’t able to do like lift up my young children in and out of their car seats and crib, or raise my arms above my head. Not being able to do those things put me in serious depression, I self medicated with ibuprofen thinking it was doing something. I now know what has been causing my pain thanks to Coach E’s articulation of the root causes. I will also mention that I failed to do the exercises for 2 days straight last week and the pain came back to a 6/10 which I haven’t felt since before starting these exercises. I immediately went to do the exercises when the pain woke me up at 3am and I got relief immediately after the first set, pain level probably went down to a 2-3/10. Again, no pain meds or massage were needed even with experiencing the pain at 6/10 for a short time. I hope my experience convinced someone on here going through life with this awful pain to give the exercises a try. You’ve got nothing to lose. The comments alone are powerful testimonies of the relief you’ll get.
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for leaving your feedback and for your kind words. Too bad you had to suffer for so long but you're out of the woods now! For more lasting relief, if you haven't yet got it I suggest our Shoulder Pain Solution program (www.precisionmovement.coach/shoulder-pain-solution).
The exercises in this video are awesome, but to truly address the root cause(s) requires a progressive and systematic approach over time with many exercises to wake up all the muscles of the body and ensure your movement patterns are good.
But definitely continue to use these as a "band-aid" and to prevent the pain from returning!

I'm here 5 years into chasing (and working my ass off) for relief. Not yet had anyone said "rhomboid" to me. This video is a lightbulb moment so I'm glad I clicked on it, because honestly I'm exhausted from trying to educate, diagnose, and heal myself. Doc just wants me on pain pills and thinks I'm stubborn for not giving up on fixes.
@@jerrysizzler44 If your healing takes more than 3/4 weeks you need to get some zinc-l-carnosine and magnesium glycinate chelate as the nerves that feed electricity to the muscle will struggle to heal without these 2 essential elements as they are the main elements that re-build-the-nerves and the myelin sheath. 90% of the world's population is deficient in these elements. If you get acid reflux.....gerd.....or hiatus hernial symptoms with a small hernia these elements will definitely help. Try it, you have nothing to lose everything to gain. It worked for me in less than a week. good luck and lots of love Jerrysizzler44.
Multiple doctors 10 MRIS , 10+ years no mention of the Scoliosis. Finally diagnosed properly by a Neurologist. So Neuromuscular Scoliosis and about 12 others diagnosis ugh oh yea 3 pinched nerves and multiple disc problems cervical, thoracic and lumbar. 5 surgeries later I am at least getting better I can stand up (not 4 long) 😂😂😂
Thank you it definitely works
I seriously thought I was about to cry or pass out from how good these felt!
That's so great to read :)
I've been suffering from pain "right there" on my right side, which I now think must be rhomboid pain, for about a decade. Recently I started to get back massages regularly (which helps temporarily), and the masseur told me I have trigger points there. But I always think I shouldn't have to do that, to be pain free. I performed these exercises after watching this video, and I'm already feeling some relief. You are a godsend. Thank you very much!
Nice work!
Thanks man
If on right side watch dr. Eric Bergs video. Could be from bile duct. I know, sounds weird but check it out.

I've been experiencing this pain on and off for years. Interestingly, I always seem to have this pain (rhomboid or back pain) during vacations. At those times, I'm usually quite lazy, spending too much time on the sofa with my cellphone. It's frustrating that I always have this pain during vacations. I'm currently in the last few days of my vacation, and the pain has returned.
I should mention that I started regular exercises before my holiday, which might be the reason why I didn't experience this pain at the beginning of the vacation, but now, towards the end.
I want to thank you so much for saving my last days of vacation. It felt like a miracle - I experienced such relief from these exercises.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM TÜRKİYE!
You are welcome and make a very good point.
Just becuase you are changing something in your schedule doesn't mean that you should stop your movement habit.
The ROM Coach app contatins a Daily Movement Tuneup that only takes 5 - 15 min to do. It's perfect for vacations.

Omg. I have had a pain in my rhomboids since I started an office job, with a weird clunky rotator's cuff. I tried this yesterday only once and I woke up with no pain. Went through the entire day with very minimal pain. My shoulders still pretty clunky but I wasn't expecting to see any results in one day anyway. But for the pain THIS IS A GODSEND
Amazing!

I have been in tears with the pain from my last event and desperately searched You Tube for an answer. Voila! Here you are!

I’ve been doing rebounding for a couple of months but this was by far my favorite workout I’ve found so far!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude I love you, I've had pain I that area for years now, I hated it because a lof of times the pain was so bad I had to stop working out entirely, making me lose all progress.
I've done the exercises for 2 days now and surprise, it was more effective than an hour session with a physical therapist and all of their contraptions
Glad I could help!
Finally - an exercise that actually works. Thankyou so much for 'curing' my continual rhomboid pain. I tried these exercises 3 or 4 times a day for 2 or 3 days and rhomboid pain gone, shoulder pain gone, neck pain gone. Now I will try to keep doing them a few times every day for maintenance to avoid the pain coming back.
Great work!
Thanks for trying it out :)
I can't believe I found this video. Ive had a bad rhomboid (and assumed I just had a "bad shoulder" from throwing out my arm too much playing baseball which was not true). I just finished these exercises and I feel as free as I did when I was a kid. This video is priceless to me and these exercises will now be apart of my daily routine
Yay!

I've been dealing with a debilitating trigger point in my thoracic area for a year. PT has been helpful, but I feel like it has had limitations. I just tried these exercises and I can tell that last one is seriously targets my trigger point very well, better than anything I've done so far. I also like your explanation of the mechanics of why I have the problem and why the exercise may solve it. Thank you.
Nice work!
I think the idea of disassociation movements is gold and we need more of that in the mobility and pain relief spaces of the fitness community. It’s so easy to prescribe an exercise that should theoretically help with symptoms but ends up just perpetuating dysfunction through associated movement patterns. Great work-please keep it up!
Thanks for your thoughts!
We really appreciate that you support our perspective :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
💯 ❤❤❤
Couldn't agree more here. Particularly for me who have developed associated muscle habits through years of uneducated lifting - focusing on weight vs form and targeting.
So my husband and I both have a curve in the same spot right below the romboids. I have tried so many exercises to release the muscles. This is the first and best set of exercises and explanation of what causes the pain we experience. Thank you!
Wonderful!
Honestly, I think you’ve actually saved my life and I haven’t even tried the exercises yet. For near 3 years I’ve had problems in THE EXACT AREAS YOUVE SHOWN, I’ve never been able to explain the symptoms to anyone, but you’ve answered haha. I’m serious, 3 years of this and I’m ready to give up, if this works I’ll genuinely owe you. Subbed.
You got this!
Did it work? I've had left side pain in this shoulder blade spot especially while sitting for past 6 years. Hope this helps. No one seems to understand ❤

How worked for you? I am with this kind of paint for last year and now it spread to my neck.

Excellent exercises as I was dealing with this rhomboid issue for over a month and came across your video by accident. I am 66 years old and a weight lifter for over 40 years and this issue cropped up, I believe it might have been attributed by my 2-6 hold bar hanging for over 65 seconds per session thinking it was helping my spine but then developed this issue of rhomboid pain. I stopped doing the bar hanging and implemented your techniques and found immediate relief. I appreciate that it's simple, but very affective for me plus it doesn't take a-lot of time to perform. Your voice inflections and presentation was very nice and calming. Thank you so much. I definitely subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for following along!
Thanks Dave... you might have just pinpointed how I ended up with what seems to be rhomboud pain.. I I do quite a bit if bar hanging too and when this hit, if I recall, was trying muscle ups besides hanging.. thanks.
For fifty years my neck has pulled to the left. All the different types of doctors tried with no success. I was mad until you said 2022. So, now I have a big job. Thank you for your clear explanaton. No pain after those exercises in traps. Hopefully the neck muscles will lengthen. Thank you very much . You are an excellent teacher. I have kept your videos and will continue to review them.
Happy to help!
Hello Patricia,
Not sure if you'll ever see this but just in case...Have you been checked for cervical dystonia by neurologist? When you said pulling that's not a normal feeling. I have circle dystonia my head post to the right and I'm treated by neurologist which gave me my life back. Just thought I would mention this in case that's your problem. Took two and a half years to get a proper diagnosis for me. Good luck
Thanks so much, this is one of the best video's I have come across. I have suffered with Rhomroid pain for 4 years. With this video in a few sessions I could fell the difference. I have downloaded the app and looking forward to using this over the coming weeks. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen, on any subject, in my entire time on the internet. God Bless this man
Wow, thank you!
After 25 years and a bit more of resistance training I overdeveloped my anterior chain (massive unbalance) in May 2020 which left me with an injury on the levator scapulae, rhomboids, shoulder and trapezius -Also caused by hanging on my weight while doing pull ups every single day (silliest mistake ever) - so I started this protocol 2 days ago and I must say this has been a miracle as I believe the pain has significantly decreased by 80% and I am convinced I on my way to recovery. I will continue this programme for few more weeks and then keep it permanently (just twice a week) as it also helps correcting posture. Big shot out to Precision Movement and coach E for nailing it on the head! Cheers

This is fantastic! I'm so glad I found your channel. A few weeks ago I was actually looking for a video to recommend for a friend's hip pain, found one on your channel, tried out the video myself, and thought it was amazing - so now that I'm having shoulder pain I decided to try out this video! This is exactly the part of my shoulder that is having pain. I love the combination of well researched information, accessible communication of the ideas, visuals to understand anatomy, and jokes and lightheartedness.

This is helpful as I get trigger points in my rhomboids chronically due to Scheuermann kyphosis. So I have around 3 vertebrae fixed in my thoracic spine that cannot really move freely, but hopefully these exercises can help to some extent and at least keep it more or less under control

I've been following your series of movements for forward head posture (I have bad posture) and I think it's been helping with pain I have in my back. When I do the ASMR (first exercise of the series) I feel bumps (knots?) and sensitive spots in the neck muscle on the same side where I feel pain in my back. However, I'm not sure the pain is in my rhomboid. Looking at where you were pointing in this video (fix rhomboid pain), I think the pain I feel is a little lower than where you indicated the rhomboid is located.
Anyway, I'll try adding the rhomboid ISO and the wall neck side bend to my morning routine to see whether this will help further. I'll also try the tweak DIS: shoulder extension. Or is there something you can suggest I try if it's not actually my rhomboid that is causing me pain?
Thanks for the videos, I'm learning a lot.

I would pay premium if someone would first perform the exercises in silence and then present the theory and research. Great video and information but the same error as every lecturer repeats. First theory and then examples. Never worked.
Interesting comment @Izbabitelj - I’ll try this for the next video I post. - Coach E
I guess that’s the great thing about UA-cam and Eric’s time stamps, you can go straight to the exercises then slide back to the theory in the order you find more appealing for you. 😊

I'm so grateful for this video!!! 2 physiotherapists, 1 chiropractor, and 2 osteopaths none of them could diagnose this issue. 1 thought my hips were unaligned, 1 thought it just needed massaging, the physio gave me some back extension exercises to do for some reason.
I knew when they were working on me it wasn't what i needed and it wasn't hitting / working the correct area.
Finally, someone who knows and understands the issue! Only just started the exercises today but i can tell it's what i've needed and is working on my issue.

Great information! I loved that you shared the articles that you found information in. Then a great range of exercises from warming up to strength building. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I have had pain in that EXACT spot for 15 years. I've tried cortisone shots, PT, massage, chiropractic care (you name it) and nothing has worked. I did one round of these 4 exercises and I can already tell it's hitting the exact area that needs the work. Thank you so much!
15 years! My goodness. Kudos to you for persevering. Hope to give you relief!
Thank you so much. I followed your instruction and pain on my shoulder has gone in the first try! Great!
Wonderful!
thank you so much. I have been in pain for so long, just doing these movements once through has allowed me to take a deep breath without as much pain. I will continue to do these, thank you for this so very much.
You are so welcome, and thanks for following along.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've had ongoing scapula and rhomboid issues for a while now on one side, which is being treated by seeing a physio, but I'm really keen to see what adding these into my routine does!
You are welcome!
Thank you! I have done this routine daily for 4 days and it seems my pain is gone. It has been there for 2 weeks so I really appreciate it.
I also installed ROM app as well and I like it so far.
Wonderful!
Mahalo for sharing! This helped me a lot understand the root cause of the pain I had.
You are so welcome!
We really appreciate you trying it out.
Keep us posted on your progress :)

One of the best , clearly explained and illustrated. Thank u!
Thanks for that :)
I just found this video as I've had a pinched nerve in either my lower cervical or upper thoracic spine and that last exercise has stopped the dull, numbness I've been experiencing the last few days. THANK YOU!!!! I'll definitely check out your other videos!
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
Trying this and I finally felt some cracks and some pain relief thanks. You're a legend man.
Great to hear!
Thanks for stopping by to try it out.
