Anyone experience this? I have what appear to be stress knots around my shoulder blades. That, I can live with. However, it appears they bump against some nerves that go into my shoulders, which of course affects my swimming.
My question is, what have you done to combat this? I have seen a massage therapist, a chiropractor, but this keeps coming back. I use heat and cold on the areas, to no avail. Thoughts?
Maybe a physical therapist could help you figure out a regimen to strengthen and stretch the muscles in there. I have chronic shoulder and neck injuries that I manage pretty effectively with a Pilates program putting special focus on my upper back and "shoulder girdle." My Pilates instructor worked with a PT in her same practice to figure out some exercises that would be especially good for me.
