In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know this injury affects the rhomboid muscles between my spine and shoulder blade, which help pull and steady my shoulder blade.
    • I know it may happen from overuse, sudden pulling, lifting, sports, or a direct injury.
    • I know pain is often between my spine and shoulder blade and may worsen with pulling, reaching, or twisting.
    • I protect the muscle by reducing painful activity while keeping safe movement as advised.
