If you’re dealing with tension, stiffness, or poor posture, our upper back pain treatment in Northamptonshire can help you feel better and move freely.
Upper back pain is a common issue that affects many people, often developing gradually due to desk-based work, muscular imbalances, or repetitive strain. It is typically experienced between the shoulder blades or across the thoracic spine and can be linked to both neck and lower back dysfunction. Because the spine operates as an integrated structure, tension or restriction in one region—such as the neck or lumbar area—can lead to compensatory issues higher or lower in the back, contributing to discomfort and reduced mobility.
Several factors can cause upper back pain, including prolonged desk work, heavy lifting, sports injuries, or stress-related muscular tension. Conditions such as scoliosis, rib dysfunction, or herniated discs in the cervical or thoracic spine can also contribute. Symptoms may include aching, stiffness, reduced range of motion, or referred pain into the arms or chest, often misinterpreted as cardiovascular in nature.
Our experienced team of osteopaths, sports therapists, rehab experts and healthcare professionals specialise in diagnosing and treating upper back pain through a holistic, hands-on approach.
We assess not only the area of pain but also the contributing factors, including spinal mobility, muscular tone, and lifestyle habits. Treatment may include manual therapy, postural advice, exercise rehabilitation, and ergonomic advice.
Our aim is to relieve pain, restore function, and help you move with ease. Whether your upper back pain is recent or longstanding, we will give you personalised care designed to get you back to doing the things you love—comfortably and confidently.

“Did you know that sneezing can cause upper back pain? It’s not just posture and sports that cause problems, sometimes the pain starts with a very small action.”
