Muscle: Upper Back

The upper back is located at the top part of your back, just below your neck and above your lower back. This area includes several muscles, like the trapezius and rhomboids, that play a key role in keeping your posture strong and stable. These muscles help you pull your shoulders back, lift objects, and even support your neck when you look up or down.Having a strong upper back is essential for everyday activities. Whether you’re sitting at a desk, carrying groceries, or playing sports, your upper back muscles work hard to keep you balanced and prevent injury. Strengthening this area not only improves your posture but also reduces the risk of back pain, making it a vital component of your fitness routine.Ready to strengthen your upper back?
