Upper back pain is often hard to relieve because it can be difficult to exercise and strengthen this area. My favorite exercise for upper back pain relief is a seated row. It’s a great exercise for your upper back, shoulders, and neck area.

This upper back exercise is performed in real-time, so it’s easy to follow along if you want.
