Expert, evidence-based upper back pain treatment at ASPIRE Physiotherapy Ramsgate & Sans Souci. Our APA-registered physiotherapists treat the root cause — not just the symptoms.
— Aching between the shoulder blades
Thoracic pain between the scapulae is extremely common in desk workers and is highly responsive to manual therapy and postural correction.
— Sharp pain with deep breathing or coughing
Rib joint irritation produces a localised sharp pain that worsens with respiratory movements — often mistaken for cardiac or pulmonary causes.
— Stiffness through the mid-back
Thoracic stiffness limiting rotation and extension — common in office workers and contributes to both neck and shoulder problems.
— Postural rounding and kyphosis
Increased thoracic kyphosis from prolonged sitting affects breathing, shoulder mechanics and long-term spinal health.
Sustained thoracic flexion from screen work is the primary driver of upper back pain in working adults. We address both the immediate pain and the postural drivers.
Facet joint pain in the mid-back causes localised stiffness and aching. Responds rapidly to manual therapy and specific mobility exercises.
Costovertebral and costochondral joint irritation produces sharp, breath-related pain. Manual therapy provides rapid and lasting relief.
