Knots in shoulder blades

[Jolow]

Over the past several months I've been getting painful knots in my shoulder blades. Can anyone tell me how to treat and prevent them?

I have a same problem in my left shoulder blade. I cannot’t sit up or get to sit something down without sensation pain. How can I treat my pain?

the way you are sleeping is gonna make a difference. improve your pillow and mattress. get a soft top

also stretching is crucial after your workouts..

and acupuncture every other week will help, massages will make the muscle tense up more and you will hurt more. not a recommendation for bodybuilders.

If your talking about just inside the shoulder blades then I feel your pain.
Rolling on a very hard foam or PVC roller helps squash the knot but isnt pleasant feeling.
Acupuncture works. As does accupressure.

It sucks. Mine used to get so bad it would throw off my thorasic spine slightly and i would be leaning over a chair or something every 5 minutes all day long to crack my back.
Its under contorl alot more now. Having my wife walk on my back daily helps.

Yep that's the spot inside the shoulder blades. It's very frustrating for sure.

I started doing deadlifts more often for my back and it made a difference.

Ditto, wife walks on back daily. I have noticed since we been doing it a couple moths now that different bones are popping further up my spine and deeper in between my shoulder blades. Chiropractor could not move them but he did identify they needed moved. daily walk on back seems to massage and loosen the muscles as well as flex my spine and increase range of motion. Wife ways 105lbs, perfect for me. I you do not have a 100lb girl to walk on you, I would consider chiro if you can afford.
