Muscles in the thoracic spine become tight and people often refer to them as “knots”. These knots are actually called “trigger points”. Trigger points usually follow a pattern and can be very painful in their active state. Muscles that can be affected in this region include:
- Lower trapezium Muscle
- Rhomboid Major/Minor Muscle
- Latissimus dorsi Muscle
- Thoracic Erector Spinae Muscle
