Reply With QuoteThe upper back acts as a stabilizer quite a bit when doing standing overhead pressing movements. You probably strained a muscle or something. Use some ice and ibuprofin, and see a doctor if it is still bothering you in a couple days, or now even.

I was doing shoulder workout standing up (i dont think it was a good idea)... when i hurt my upper back. When I move, I get pain in my upper right back. Anyone know anything I could do to heal fast?

As FUFU said use ice. Use it for 24-48 hrs and then switch to heat.

ok, I went to work for a day and it healed...
Is there anyway I can make this part of my body stronger without injury? I see pros lift heavy weights above their heads...

Rowing is great for the upper back. You could do reverse fly type movements like band pull-aparts, face pulls, reverse flys, etc. YTWLs are awesome. I use those all over the place. If you have the flexbility to pull off overhead squats those are good, but I would ease into that one, as it is similar to the movement where the injury occured. Originally Posted by AZNracerx1989
