Pain in that spot

Shameless bump

I had to use a barbell to get enough force to effectively work it out. I even used a stretch band and rolling stick to target that area.

What did u exactly do? Apply constant pressure for X time? Or roll the whole area? Thanks for the reply.

i have the same thing. haven't fixed it but can treat is fairly well. you might not be the same, but i found that the origin was actually in my lats, high up toward the armpit. got a good pressure on the trigger spot there and felt loads better. chances are your problem is the same as mine, basically rounded shoulders and forward head posture, aka computer posture

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to find the sweetspot. And yes I always try to sit straight on the computer, since I'm a programmer and I spend like 10 hours per day sitting.

best sitting tip i have (not that i can manage to do it regularly) is try to keep your sternum pointed up and your elbows close to your sides. if you can do both of those then you will be strong enough to defeat calamity ganon

When I get those type of headaches I have to apply heavy pressure. So I would use one of the barbell and pull it toward me while working in the problem areas. For the rolling pin I would hold the handle on the front side and use the band to pull down behind my back on the other side. Awkward but it works.

did you fix your shoulders and fhp?

the elbow tip is pretty solid, thank you!

Ok got it, thanks for the clarification.

Anon was right btw, I do have a trigger point in my right lat (close to the armpit). Will roll it and try to make it go away.

nope, i like to think i'm fixING them both. there's loads of exercises you can do if you google them. i imagine it's going to take some time to undo years of vidya posture but i'm workin at it

Had the same problem except worse, perma headaches and doing any physical exercise would make it worse. Doc put me on some anti inflammatory drugs for a month and now I'm all good, didn't ever find out what it was but I suspect an inflammation of some nerves. Sometimes if im lifting heavy and aren't breath properly I can feel the it come back so idk if how you're lifting could be affecting it.

trigger points is validated by any studies or legit science. So far its seems like its modern snake-oil. You can find "trigger-points" everywhere on youre body. Doesnt matter if youre in pain or not.

the pain could come from other factors like;
-sitting in the same posture for long periods of time
-Not working out or training affected muscle
-not enough sleep
-being overweight

There are some serious things that can do that. It:s probably a tension headache but also see a doctor because some shit can kill you suddenly

Exercises arent very effective at fixing posture. It doesnt matter if you spend 1 hour to fix the issue, when you spend the other 23 fucking it up.

The best way is simply to maintain the posture throughout the day. Learn how it feels to be in that posture, becuase you dont have a mirror to check all day long. And them simply maintain it. If youre very sedentary then its going to be difficult and can cause some pain.
It will take 2-5 weeks to fix it. It dependso n how persistent you are.

However, the link between psoture in pain is very weak. Studies struggle to show a correlation, and often its not the posture itself, but staying still IN a posture for long periods of time that cause pain. so change positions and dont sit too still.
