I hated having them, too. But that was a very long time ago.
I got rid of the knots in my back naturally and you can, too. 🙂
But there are perfectly logical reasons you have that pain in the rhomboid area. (Poor rhomboids–they get blamed all the time and it’s just not their fault!)
If you’ve got “knots in your back,” or if you know someone who does, I wrote this post for you! Or them! 
So here we go:
Sometimes muscles complain. When you get “knots” or muscle spasms in your upper back, that’s one of the ways your body says, “Hey, pay attention! I’m not happy!”
Knots in your back muscles are symptoms that there’s an issue somewhere—a cause. The knot aren’t the problem.
They are the result of ‘something.’
There are common causes of one-sided pain between your shoulder blade and spine and we’re going to talk about them right here. When you discover those causes, you’ll be on the road to get rid of your painful knots.
So, what causes one or more muscle knots in your back?
1. Thyroid. Thyroid or other immune system dysfunctions can cause a tendency to have muscle spasms (knots.) I’m not a doctor and you may need to work with your doctor if you have this diagnosis but natural therapies can still help you, too.
2. Posture. If you have a “forward head” posture or rounded shoulders the muscles in your upper back get stretched and strained and complain. They get into spasms or “knots.” Slouching or even straining to see the computer screen can be a cause.
3. Weak back muscles. If your back muscles are weak, the stronger, shorter muscles in the front of your body will pull you forward. This can be a cause or a result of poor posture. It strains your back muscles and causes muscle knots in your back muscles.
4. Holding an area of your back in contraction (shortened) for a long time. Perhaps you work with your elbow behind the midline of the side of your body? Muscle contractions that continue for a long period of time make your muscles think they are supposed to be in that position all the time. You get lopsided. Perhaps you lean on the armrest of your chair, couch or in your car? Or, always cross the same leg over the other leg?
5. Tilting or rotating. This can happen due to habit if you always stand or sit in the same off-balance position. It can be caused by such things as stretching to keep your hand on a mouse or leaning to one side a lot. Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) can also cause tilts and rotations. Scoliosis can sometimes be corrected naturally, by the way.
6. Mineral deficiencies. Muscles really need to have certain minerals in order to function their best. Magnesium, potassium and calcium are big players in muscle health.
Minerals help prevent miserable muscle spasms.
Now you know the most likely possible causes of those nasty knots in your upper back naturally. If you get rid of the causes, you’ll be rid of the muscle knots.
If you’d like, I can help you do that. 🙂
