If you've ever experienced a sharp or stabbing middle back pain between the shoulder blades, you might benefit from this exercise. It can be challenging to take a deep breath, rotate, flex, or extend the spine. In many cases, this can be the result of a rib that has slightly shifted. This can cause the muscles around the rib to guard and tense up. People with hypermobile connective tissues may experience this more frequently than other people.

If the pain results from something seemingly random that came on suddenly without any traumatic incident (car accident, falling down the stairs, etc), then it is likely a rib that has shifted a little bit. I’ve seen people’s ribs “subluxate” while doing something as simple as brushing their hair! It can yield a pretty intense pain in the middle back, and it often scares people - this should be the case, and it isn’t something to be afraid of. This exercise may help!
