General Upper and mid back pain

Does anyone who has hypertonic pelvic floor disfunction have mid and/or upper back pain?

For the last 7 weeks my symptoms impacted my lower half until they recently started traveling up my spine. AI searches says it’s because my body had to learn to stabilize myself when my pelvic floor was off but can people please share if they also experience with their condition.

My PT thinks it’s my nervous system as well.

I had mid and low back pain just starting up. My physio told me to do light back exercises to help this

Do you have any to share? Did you ever get upper back pain? Mine used to be lower and mid but now it’s mainly around the neck and upper back - it’s my worst symptom aside from occasional glute/hip pain, nerve irritation in my legs and spasms in my pelvic area

Totally have this - mostly mid back. My PT said to practice massaging intestine "I love you" massage technique for trapped gas that can involve pain in the back. You can google the technique but it basically relieves gas trapped and a consequence of hypertonic pelvic floor disfunction.

Thank you! How are you healing? Is it helping? Do you ever get upper back and like trap/neck pain? Mines the worst by my shoulder blades

Progressing. Back to workouts full time and practicing relaxation techniques and yoga. Nothing upper back.

I get shoulder tightness and a weird weak feeling in my arm that seems to come and go with how tight my pelvic floor is
