sports massage painful

How can i get rid of knots in my upper back?

I have about 5-6 muscle knots in my upper back. They are right near the shoulder blade, and they are killing me. I took a golf ball (didn’t have a tennis ball) and layed on it to get pressure, i’ve had my sister inlaw massage it for me (shes a massage therapist) , and ive stretched my arm every so often.

What else can i do for them? I’m pretty active, so i was thinking that’s what could of caused them, but i’m not doing any sports now, so idk.

What could have caused them & how can i get rid of them? They are pretty painful & a discomfort.

Thanks!

Have you seen the teeter Hang Ups? It’s an inversion table that you get on and helps with your back. My brother has one (he plays baseball) and uses it once a day or every other day. He says it makes his back feel a lot better. Maybe you could see if anyone you know has one or go to a store and see if they have any on display you could use. It’s a little pricey so if you can split the price with your family and make it a family machine, it might work to your benefit.
