7 physiotherapists, 3 chiropractors and 2 national health Drs later over 7 years and I finally get a result that works from P.M. on KZfaq. Says a lot about the medical profession at large. No repeat patients = no money. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Nuff love.

I want to provide an evidence based comment after experimenting with these exercises for 2 months. I really tried hard not to come back to comment on this video after experiencing relief the first time I did these exercises. I can’t tell you how much these exercises have changed my life for the better. I started experiencing this pain on my right side on 9/4/22, which landed me in the ER because the pain was a 10/10 and I couldn’t even breastfeed my son without pain, there I was diagnosed with right shoulder impingement and given narcotics since I couldn’t move my right arm above my head. I now know it was because of rhomboid pain and the root causes Coach E talked about in his video. For 8 months (before watching this video), I did all the exercises recommended by my PCP and PT for shoulder impingement, getting minimal relief (and that’s being generous). Not to mention during the 8 months, on several occasions when the pain was a 10/10, I took ibuprofen religiously and had rhomboid pain transfer to my left side. In essence, I got worse over time. After 2 months of doing these exercises daily, at least once/day and in the beginning (first 2 weeks) I did them twice/day, I have never needed another massage or pain meds. The first time you do these exercises will be tough, especially if you have severe pain like me. Coach E says what you should expect perfectly in his video. I noticed immediate relief after doing the exercises for the full set for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. Seemed like a miracle. As I continued doing them, I was able to do things I wasn’t able to do like lift up my young children in and out of their car seats and crib, or raise my arms above my head. Not being able to do those things put me in serious depression, I self medicated with ibuprofen thinking it was doing something. I now know what has been causing my pain thanks to Coach E’s articulation of the root causes. I will also mention that I failed to do the exercises for 2 days straight last week and the pain came back to a 6/10 which I haven’t felt since before starting these exercises. I immediately went to do the exercises when the pain woke me up at 3am and I got relief immediately after the first set, pain level probably went down to a 2-3/10. Again, no pain meds or massage were needed even with experiencing the pain at 6/10 for a short time. I hope my experience convinced someone on here going through life with this awful pain to give the exercises a try. You’ve got nothing to lose. The comments alone are powerful testimonies of the relief you’ll get.

I've been suffering from pain "right there" on my right side, which I now think must be rhomboid pain, for about a decade. Recently I started to get back massages regularly (which helps temporarily), and the masseur told me I have trigger points there. But I always think I shouldn't have to do that, to be pain free. I performed these exercises after watching this video, and I'm already feeling some relief. You are a godsend. Thank you very much!

Oh my goodness! I have had this pain for 8 years now off and on and despite seeing a physio and chiropractor it keeps returning. I have been in tears with the pain from my last event and desperately searched You Tube for an answer. Voila! Here you are! Amazingly as soon as I began these exercises my pain level reduced and I can relax at last. Thank you thank thank you - I can't say it enough. So happy to have found you.

I’ve been doing rebounding for a couple of months but this was by far my favorite workout I’ve found so far!

Lifesaver. My god, I’ve been dealing with terrible pains like pinched nerve. It would get numb to touch and prickly pain. I went through all of these and it’s almost fully gone

I haven't tried it yet or even finished the video but it makes me literally tear up to be able to find content like this. I struggle to keep up with doctors, and I need things explained to me in detail. Thank goodness for the positives of this modern age and thank goodness for you!

Honestly, I think you’ve actually saved my life and I haven’t even tried the exercises yet. For near 3 years I’ve had problems in THE EXACT AREAS YOUVE SHOWN, I’ve never been able to explain the symptoms to anyone, but you’ve answered haha. I’m serious, 3 years of this and I’m ready to give up, if this works I’ll genuinely owe you. Subbed.

I've been dealing with a debilitating trigger point in my thoracic area for a year. PT has been helpful, but I feel like it has had limitations. I just tried these exercises and I can tell that last one is seriously targets my trigger point very well, better than anything I've done so far. I also like your explanation of the mechanics of why I have the problem and why the exercise may solve it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. As a painter I’ve struggled with rhomboid pain due to repetitive strain injuries for many years. These exercises have helped immensely. Greatly appreciate this content

Oh my gosh you’ve pinpointed exactly where I’ve been having excruciating pain. I’ve been getting adjustments, but still in a great deal of pain. Can’t wait to get these going.

I can't believe I found this video. Ive had a bad rhomboid (and assumed I just had a "bad shoulder" from throwing out my arm too much playing baseball which was not true). I just finished these exercises and I feel as free as I did when I was a kid. This video is priceless to me and these exercises will now be apart of my daily routine

Finally - an exercise that actually works. Thankyou so much for 'curing' my continual rhomboid pain. I tried these exercises 3 or 4 times a day for 2 or 3 days and rhomboid pain gone, shoulder pain gone, neck pain gone. Now I will try to keep doing them a few times every day for maintenance to avoid the pain coming back.

This guy is FABULOUS adding articles and graphics! And I am ONLY 5 MINUTES into this video! THANK for all the comments too! It gives me hope! Now onward to lear more and DO ❤

I have been searching KZfaq for many years and I have finally hit the nail on the head. Thanks and may God bless you always.

So my husband and I both have a curve in the same spot right below the romboids. I have tried so many exercises to release the muscles. This is the first and best set of exercises and explanation of what causes the pain we experience. Thank you!

I think the idea of disassociation movements is gold and we need more of that in the mobility and pain relief spaces of the fitness community. It’s so easy to prescribe an exercise that should theoretically help with symptoms but ends up just perpetuating dysfunction through associated movement patterns. Great work-please keep it up!

Thank you Eric for this very effective series, which are much needed!

I’ve been struggling with this pain off and on for the past year. Thought I’d tried everything and nothing was helping. Just did these and am already feeling some relief. Thank you so much for sharing this information and explaining it so well. ❤

I’m currently getting P.T. For an interior glenoid fracture. Now I see why they have me squeezing my shoulder blades together in the back!! Definitely will put more effort into this exercise now that I see why it is important and what movement this muscles facilitates! Thank you!! Excellent video!!

These are so good, Coach! Will add them before and after my swim sessions. Thank you!

Excellent exercises as I was dealing with this rhomboid issue for over a month and came across your video by accident. I am 66 years old and a weight lifter for over 40 years and this issue cropped up, I believe it might have been attributed by my 2-6 hold bar hanging for over 65 seconds per session thinking it was helping my spine but then developed this issue of rhomboid pain. I stopped doing the bar hanging and implemented your techniques and found immediate relief. I appreciate that it's simple, but very affective for me plus it doesn't take a-lot of time to perform. Your voice inflections and presentation was very nice and calming. Thank you so much. I definitely subscribed to your channel.

I tried out your exercises, I think my back was in less pain from doing them just once, I cut the reps down lower, so that I could get use to the movement and not cause myself more pain. I will for sure be watching some of your videos for neck, entire spine, and strengthening , near 70 years old and feeling it! Thank you for sharing 🙏💯💕

Excellent video! Thoroughly explained!Loved the anatomy visual as well as the tips on how to properly perform the exercises. Keep up the good work. If I can request can you do a video with causes of upper back cracking or grinding in the thoracic spine? Take care!

For fifty years my neck has pulled to the left. All the different types of doctors tried with no success. I was mad until you said 2022. So, now I have a big job. Thank you for your clear explanaton. No pain after those exercises in traps. Hopefully the neck muscles will lengthen. Thank you very much . You are an excellent teacher. I have kept your videos and will continue to review them.

The Rombloid ISO really helped me out. During work my right shoulder was bugging me. I did a few sets and within minutes my discomfort went away. The burning sensation disappeared, although I still have slight discomfort. I feel much better. I will do more of your exercises. Thank you 🙏🏽

Very helpful! Best video I’ve seen on this! Love how you explained everything in the beginning of video! Thank you

this is the most informative and helpful video i’ve ever seen THANK YOUU

I just did a Ninja Warrior "type" gym and flared up some serious rhomboid pain! All the secondary muscles that are effected in my neck were all acknowledged in this video. It was so informative to hear you talk about exactly what I am dealing with. I just started doing your exercises and I noticed some relief. I am going to keep at it! Thanks.

Great video, thank you! 🙃

Great information! I loved that you shared the articles that you found information in. Then a great range of exercises from warming up to strength building. Thank you so much.

I LOVE that you included studies!! I've been looking for a rhomboid video that is evidence-based, and you came through!

Ok. Constant pain in my rhomboid and neck, on the right side, for over 2 years now. I am going to dilligently try these exercises and report back. It is soul crushing to live with constant pain all day, all night. Every day.

After 25 years and a bit more of resistance training I overdeveloped my anterior chain (massive unbalance) in May 2020 which left me with an injury on the levator scapulae, rhomboids, shoulder and trapezius -Also caused by hanging on my weight while doing pull ups every single day (silliest mistake ever) - so I started this protocol 2 days ago and I must say this has been a miracle as I believe the pain has significantly decreased by 80% and I am convinced I on my way to recovery. I will continue this programme for few more weeks and then keep it permanently (just twice a week) as it also helps correcting posture. Big shot out to Precision Movement and coach E for nailing it on the head! Cheers

I can not tell you how helpful this video is. Well explained, clear and concise. Thank you

I have suffered from this pain for 15 years. I had any tests and the doctors couldn't help me. This morning I woke up with pain and came across your video and tried it out and I have to say I feel very relaxed, if that is the solution I am infinitely grateful to you.

I’ve been dealing with rhomboid pain for the last 5 years. Like everyone else, I felt defeated and assumed this was going to be status quo for the rest of my life. Well, my wife came across Coach E’s video and passed it along to me. I was skeptical since nothing else has worked, but after ONE CIRCUT of movements I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time. I am VERY EXCITED to commit to these movements and get the results I have long dreamed of. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are seriously a Godsend!

I had the pain for one month and start worrying as it doesn’t go away despite stretching and massaging. I immediately feel better and the pain goes away when I do the exercises while watching this video… thank you so much!!!!

Wow this content is excellent!!! So glad I discovered this. I have appreciated everything my PT does for me but we never have time to go into this much detail. Also appreciate the study overviews!

I’ve been looking for something to help with this exact pain and I will try these every day, thanks so much

This is helpful as I get trigger points in my rhomboids chronically due to Scheuermann kyphosis. So I have around 3 vertebrae fixed in my thoracic spine that cannot really move freely, but hopefully these exercises can help to some extent and at least keep it more or less under control

I dislocated my shoulder 10 years ago and have had problems ever since. I get tennis elbow every time I use my arm for any length of time. Plus the rhomboid trigger points. I think I've found the main culprit today. That neck exercise pulled exactly where it hurts in my elbow! I shall be doing all 4 exercises for the next few weeks to see how I get on 🤞

well explained sir thank you

Thank you so much for making this video. Your explanation was very articulate. You know your stuff and it was very helpful. God bless you.

Hey Coach! Would these exercises help with rhomboid pain from cervical radiculopathy as well? Thanks!!

I've been following your series of movements for forward head posture (I have bad posture) and I think it's been helping with pain I have in my back. When I do the ASMR (first exercise of the series) I feel bumps (knots?) and sensitive spots in the neck muscle on the same side where I feel pain in my back. However, I'm not sure the pain is in my rhomboid. Looking at where you were pointing in this video (fix rhomboid pain), I think the pain I feel is a little lower than where you indicated the rhomboid is located. Anyway, I'll try adding the rhomboid ISO and the wall neck side bend to my morning routine to see whether this will help further. I'll also try the tweak DIS: shoulder extension. Or is there something you can suggest I try if it's not actually my rhomboid that is causing me pain? Thanks for the videos, I'm learning a lot.

The tweak to doing the DIS: shoulder extension makes all the difference. Thank you

Thank you Coach E. Very good information.

I would pay premium if someone would first perform the exercises in silence and then present the theory and research. Great video and information but the same error as every lecturer repeats. First theory and then examples. Never worked.

Thanks so much, this is one of the best video's I have come across. I have suffered with Rhomroid pain for 4 years. With this video in a few sessions I could fell the difference. I have downloaded the app and looking forward to using this over the coming weeks. Thanks so much.

Thanks a bunch my g atlist now my dad won't keep on complaining about my back posture and that sharp pain on my back You are God sent

Hello there! Thank you for your thorough videos! I share them all the time to anyone who tells me they have pain. You have helped me with my own pain that I have dealt with for years. Even though I have gone to physical therapy. So thank you very very much!

This is what I need for my longtime pain on my shoulder blade, thank you couch

This is a miracle! Only took two days to get rid of pain and tingling I've had off and on for two years. Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I REALLY APPRECIATE how you explained all of it! My pain has begun to radiate down the back of my arm so I really need this!!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼

This is amazing, fixed all my issues from looking down into my phone too much. Thanks!

I have had this pain for 2 years now and I have finally found someone who explains exactly what's causing it and how to fix it. Thank you very much!

Excellent. Thank you for sharing.

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!! Your video is one of the best videos in any category I have ever seen, you actually read research papers!! You video contained everything and was very well executed! Thanks!

These exercises/ stretches (each better than the next!) were absolutely amazing in relieving the tension in the middle back!

Excellent presentation. Thanks

This makes SO much sense. Thank you!

So detailed ！love to know the analysis instead of just being told what to do. thanks a lot gonna try out 😊

Thank you so much. Was in terrible discomfort and had not been able to sleep last night due to the pain. I did three of the four exercises whilst watching the video, except the second. It is amazing, especially after the last exercise I feel better, the pain is not so acute anymore. I guess I will keep doing them until the issue resolved itself. Thank you again.

You, my friend, are an angle walking the earth. I am literally crawling thru pain day by day for months unable to find relief; after doing this I have never felt instant relief I wanted to have since months. Thank you so muchh

Coach Eric thank you for doing this videos. I love that you show what parts of the body you are referring to, now I'm sure it's my rhomboid (minor). The details here are awesome and I can't wait to try these. I know they will work. Thanks Coach Joshua for answering comments!

Thanks for the tips. Great exercises.

Thanks Alot. This is really helpful

Managed 2 sets of these 4. Felt enough release to give some pain relief. Thanks Erik.

Great video - you always seem to have beneficial, in-depth videos on relevant scenarios!

Wow. Just wow! This man is SMART! I love how he explains everything.

Hey There is no word to thank you. Ive been struggling with this for almost 3years now and even swalloing was becoming an issue.I did some massotherapie, physiotherapy, cupping and recently went to a kinetherapeute and havent felt much better till now.And I just came across your video, tried the exercices and a couple mins later im already feeling better.Thanks a lot!God BLESS YOU!!!!

Trying this and I finally felt some cracks and some pain relief thanks. You're a legend man.

Wow! MUST TRY THIS TODAY. I have had shoulder pain in that area forever and thought it was just my levator scap. Now I know where else to look. Just watching you do these gives me a sense of strength and relieve. Thank you so much!

Amazing video. Thank you

After riding my Road bicycle for abort 8 years i builded up som serious rhomboid pain. I tryed everything but noting helped. Then on my search on KZfaq for exercices i by qincidence fell over this video. I tryed all 4 exercices for 4 days and my stiffness in upper back is nearly fully gone. This is nearly supernatural!!i am so very happy You are a very clever man . I now enjoy riding my bicycle again. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH this is truly a game changer for me👍🏼👍🏼

I am so appreciative of your very good videos.

So glad I found these and the rhomboid video … already feeling some relief after a year of pain. The second thoracic one on this video gave me a few pops that I’ve been unable to get for a while !

Thank you so much. The best Trenner ever. Excellent for your work😊

Dude I love you, I've had pain I that area for years now, I hated it because a lof of times the pain was so bad I had to stop working out entirely, making me lose all progress. I've done the exercises for 2 days now and surprise, it was more effective than an hour session with a physical therapist and all of their contraptions

GREAT video thanks

Thank you so much this pain was really annoying for years until now!💪

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to know, thank you sir

Mahalo for sharing! This helped me a lot understand the root cause of the pain I had.

Very helpful, thank you

Loved the video!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I recommend your site to everyone!

helpful video. thanks for sharing. keep them coming. I highly appreciate it

I have had pain in that EXACT spot for 15 years. I've tried cortisone shots, PT, massage, chiropractic care (you name it) and nothing has worked. I did one round of these 4 exercises and I can already tell it's hitting the exact area that needs the work. Thank you so much!

Brilliantly explained!! Tried these exercises they turned out to be very effective.

Great demo and info. I shall be trying this over the upcoming months.

This video was extremely well explained and helpful. Excited to try these exercises to get some relief!

Thank you for this video. I suffer from shoulder pain and have been focusing on understanding the underlying causes so I can make changes and decrease the pain. Thank you for explaining what's going on and how to activate and strengthen the different muscles. Bless you.

Thank you this has been most helpful❤😊

I wow this is amazing. I have been suffering major trigger points in this area for years and not been successful in combating it. Tried improve posture and stretching but minor results. That last exercise was so good - hard yes but perfect. The yoga block one was amazing too . Thank you so much.

Great educational program for me and everyone who has this problem.

Wow, I'm visibly shaking from the last technique. Thank you. I feel so much better. Subscribed. You're a god send!

Thanks excellent explanation and exercises 🤞

Love it. Thank you it help a million

Excellent video!!!! Thank you 😊
