Why a Tight Chest Can Make Your Back Hurt
Did you know your chest muscles (the pectorals) can be the hidden cause of back pain? When your pecs get tight from stress, posture, or overuse, they pull your shoulders forward. This rounds your upper back and makes the muscles between your shoulder blades and along your spine work overtime just to keep you upright.
That “tug-of-war” creates tension, knots, and soreness in your back — even though the real problem started in the front.
✨ The good news? With targeted stretching, strengthening, and massage therapy, we can release the tightness in your chest and bring balance back to your posture — which means less back pain and better mobility.
At Kolb Medical Massage and Wellness, I specialize in helping clients find and fix the root cause of pain, not just chase the symptoms.
