Relieve Mid Back & Postural Pain in The Great Lakes Bay Region

Struggling with stiffness between your shoulder blades? Does slouching at a desk or looking down at your phone leave you aching for relief? Mid back pain and poor posture often go hand in hand—creating chronic discomfort, shallow breathing, and even nerve irritation. At Body Mechanics Rehab & Wellness LLC, we take a gentle, hands-on approach to unravel the root cause of your pain using the proven methods of John F. Barnes Myofascial Release and Upledger Craniosacral Therapy.ulation.

When Posture Hurts: The Hidden Source of Mid Back Pain

Postural strain builds over time—often from hours of sitting, screen time, emotional stress, or unhealed injuries. Fascia, the web-like connective tissue surrounding every muscle and joint, adapts to these positions and holds onto tension, pulling your spine out of balance and compressing nerves and muscles in the mid back.

Common contributors to postural and mid back pain:

• Forward head posture and rounded shoulders
• Desk work or long hours sitting
• Shallow chest breathing or rib stiffness
• Old injuries creating compensatory patterns
• Emotional stress stored in the thoracic region

Traditional treatments may stretch or strengthen muscles, but they often miss the deeper fascial restrictions that perpetuate poor posture and mid back discomfort.

We Don’t Force—We Listen and Release

At Body Mechanics, we treat the body as a whole system. Your care starts with a full-body assessment to identify where your fascia is restricted and how it’s impacting your posture and spinal alignment.

We evaluate:

• Spinal and ribcage alignment
• Myofascial mobility across shoulders, chest, and back
• Breathing pattern and diaphragm tension
• Craniosacral rhythm and nervous system stress
• History of injuries or repetitive strain

This evaluation allows us to create a custom plan designed to address the root—not just the symptoms.

Therapies That Restore Posture and Relieve Pain

We use a combination of myofascial and craniosacral techniques to gently release tension, restore balance, and reduce the strain that contributes to mid back and postural pain.

John F. Barnes Myofascial Release: Long-held, gentle pressure to release deep fascial restrictions across the thoracic spine, ribs, chest, and neck, helping your body naturally realign.

Upledger Craniosacral Therapy: Light-touch therapy that calms the nervous system and unwinds deeply held tension, supporting improved posture and reduced stress.

Postural Unwinding: Letting the body guide realignment through intuitive, supported movements rather than forced corrections.

Breathing and Rib Cage Release: Restoring natural diaphragm function to relieve internal pressure and support upright posture.

Whole-Body Integration: Addressing contributing tension patterns in the pelvis, shoulders, and jaw to allow sustained postural change.

Rather than forcing you into a “better” position, we help your body rediscover how to hold itself with less effort and more freedom.

FAQs About Mid Back & Postural Pain

Can poor posture really cause this much pain?
Yes. Repetitive postural habits can lead to significant fascial restrictions and muscle imbalances that create pain, nerve sensitivity, and fatigue.

Will this help if I sit all day for work?
Definitely. We specialize in treating desk-related postural issues and provide guidance to support your body between sessions.

Is this approach better than chiropractic?
It’s different. Instead of forceful adjustments, we use gentle, sustained releases to promote lasting change. Many clients find this method less invasive and more effective long term.
