Pain when pressing on the inner chest, shoulder and back pain

The chest and back are separate. If you hit your back forcefully, you will feel pain in your chest. Hitting your chest will cause pain in your chest and back. This is normal. Many people will feel pain in their back and shoulders when they press their chest hard. This can be relieved through some methods.

Ways to relieve back pain

1. Do yoga to relieve back pain. Yoga can not only calm the mind and lose weight, but also relieve back pain due to stretching movements. If you do yoga at least once a week for 40-90 minutes each time for three months, your back pain will improve. The effects of yoga are good and healthy, far better than taking medicine or physical therapy. Stretching is just as effective as yoga for treating back pain, but the main areas of the body that are worked are the torso and legs.

2. Massage your back to relieve pain. Each acupoint can be massaged for 10 minutes each time. The specific number of times a day can be determined according to the relief situation. If the back pain is severe, do it 3 or 4 times a day. If it is less severe, do it twice a day. Massaging the Xinshu, Dushu and Geshu points on the upper back can help stimulate the lungs and heart, as well as regulate blood circulation, relax the stomach and soothe the stomach. Massaging the liver, gallbladder, and spleen points on the lower back can stimulate the liver, gallbladder, strengthen the spleen, harmonize the stomach, and eliminate dampness.

3. Stand against the wall to increase the muscle strength of the back to relieve back pain. Stand up straight with your back against the wall, and bring the shoulder blades on both sides as close to the wall as possible. Hold this position for about 3 minutes each time. This will help increase muscle strength and help prevent and relieve back pain.

4. Relaxing your body and mind, reducing stress, and maintaining mental health are also relevant to avoiding back pain. When people are anxious, the body goes into a “fight or flight” response, which causes muscles to tense and prepare for action, so people who are nervous and stressed are more likely to experience back pain.
