How To Keep Muscle Knots In Your Upper Back From Coming Back

Muscle knots in back

Here’s a good question I received about muscle knots in your upper back:

I am a student and find my self working in forward head posture every day.  My goal is to get rid of my knots and once I get rid of them I was wondering what i can do to keep them at bay? I don’t have the option of changing what I do or my future career.

Many careers involve forward head positions and working with hands stretched out in front of your body.  That posture makes upper back muscles very unhappy.

The good news is those muscles can be happy again!

Once the knots are gone here’s what you can do now and forever to keep those miserable muscle spasms from coming back:

Here’s how in a nutshell:

Strengthen your back muscles.  It doesn’t have to be a hard workout; it just has to help you get a stronger back.

One way to do this is to squeeze your shoulder blades toward your spine.  Be sure to have your head over your body rather than “out in front” when you do this.  Laying flat on your back in bed makes it easier.

Actually you need to strengthen ALL the muscles from your knees to your skull on the back side of your body.

When the muscles in back are strong, they can ‘hold their own’ against daily working postures.  That avoids pain!

I created a program just to help you get rid of your upper back pain forever.

It will even teach you how to get a strong back easily–in bed!

Check it out but in the meantime…

  • Take lots of breaks to stretch up and back, up and back.
  • Lift your breastbone and the crown of your head to the sky.
  • Eat healthy foods to support your muscles.  Well-nourished muscles function better.
  • Drink plenty of water.  Muscles that are well-hydrated function much better.

Having a strong back helps a TON and stretching the muscles in front of your arms and chest and abdomen also helps keep the nasty muscle knots in your back from coming back.
