Dealing with mid back pain?

You just might have poor ergonomics.

Medical research has shown that muscular strain is the major cause of middle back pain among desk/computer workers. The back muscles and tendons provide support to the thoracic spine and the ribs of your back. They are the muscles that take the stress that may arise from activities like sitting, lifting heavy objects, running, exercising, etc. Sitting in poor posture for long periods of time can weaken and fatigue mid-back muscles. As a result, strains or spasms may occur.
In addition, your thoracic spine is articulated with your rib cage. Improper exercise can lead to misalignment of the ribs and result in sharp pain of the mid back complex while taking a deep breath. Spinal and rib manipulation is very effective to treat this type of condition in conjunction with physiotherapy to strengthen the mid back complex.
