Tight latissimus dorsi has been shown to be a contributor to chronic shoulder pain and chronic back pain. [10] Because the latissimus dorsi connects the spine to the humerus, tightness in this muscle can manifest as either sub-optimal glenohumeral joint (shoulder) function which leads to chronic pain or tendinitis in the tendinous fasciae ...
Twelfth rib syndrome, also known as rib tip syndrome, is a painful condition that occurs as a result of highly mobile floating ribs.It commonly presents as pain that may be felt in the lower back or lower abdominal region as a result of the 11th or 12th mobile rib irritating the surrounding tissues and nervous systems.
It penetrates into the substance of the latissimus dorsi muscle near the lateral border of scapula. [5] It follows the course of the subscapular artery, along the posterior wall of the axilla to the latissimus dorsi muscle, [1] in which it may be traced as far as the lower border of the muscle.

The latissimus dorsi, to use the muscles' proper name, are the wide, fan-shaped muscles that make up the majority of your mid-back. The lats are especially consequential for several reasons.
The thoracolumbar fascia is thought to be involved in load transfer between the trunk and limb (it is tensioned by the action of the latissimus dorsi muscle, gluteus maximus muscle, and the hamstring muscles), and lifting. [1]: 814–815 It is endowed with nociceptive receptors, and may be involved in some forms of back pain. [1]: 814–815
This study showed a significant reduction in lower back pain after just two weeks of core stabilization exercises (whoa). It even found core work to be more effective than physical therapy when it ...
Tissue was taken from the skin on her back to reconstruct her breast, and one of her latissimus dorsi was rotated. Surgeons had to collapse one of her lungs and remove a rib. “When I woke up, I ...
Many large and small muscles have relationships with the ligaments of the sacroiliac joint including the piriformis (see "piriformis syndrome", a condition often related with sacroiliac joint dysfunction), rectus femoris, gluteus maximus and minimus, erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, thoracolumbar fascia, and iliacus.
