I have some simmilar problems.As

a result of having jobs that require alot of heavy lifting I developed some real muscle issues in the middle and

upper back,especialy between my shoulder blades.One thing that helps alot is getting regular massages to lossen the

muscles.Another is regular stretching.Yoga instructors can be a real wealth of information regarding stretches and

general body balancing.Remeber to get enough calcium in your diet and stay away from caffeine,as it tends to rob the

body of calcium.Calcium helps muscles to relax and remain limber.It aint just for good bones.
