I have been training for a strongman comp in may and have been having a lingering pain near my right scapula when deadlifting and doing cleans. Ive tried to work through it and that was a mistake. So I didnt train upper back for 2 weeks and came back do DLs and cleans two workouts a piece so far. Then today I got the pain again deadlifting. Any have any experience with this or advice to aid healing and obviously im going to rest it.
i recommend finding an ART practitioner in your area, sounds like a flamed up rhomboid to me. They can probably work out the soft tissue in a few sessions. I personally had pains under my right scapula that a friend of mine who does ART got rid of in only a few minutes. It always flamed up during a period of heavy squats.
Thanks will do
