at orchestra rehearsals i get a warm pain in the middle of my back usually after sitting for a bit more than an hour. not bad posture because i always make sure to have a straight back and sit at the edge of my chair. also, dont tell me to take meds, i believe they are a crutch.

I complete understand your pain. i’m a violin play. (YES GUYS YOU DO SIT ON THE EDGE OF YOUR CHAIR TO PLAY PROPERLY). I would make sure that you get up and move around a bit when you have a chance. its probably because your sitting in the same position. also when i have a long rest or something i’ll kinda stretch out my back a little. if all else doesn’t work. sorry to tell ya, pop a few pain pill.
well.. you don’t want to take any meds.. sitting on the edge of your chair probably has much to do with it.. nothing is supporting your back.. that is what the back of a chair is for.
Use biomagnetic therapy The body’s energy is thought to flow through channels known as Energy Meridians. These can be compared with the currents that exist in a magnetic field. The meridians can be accessed through classic acupuncture points (acupoints) on the skin surface, and form the basis of ancient therapies such as acupuncture and acupressure.
In good health, energy flows through the meridians in a balanced way. Ill health is thought o be associated with imbalances or blockages in energy flow through the body. Many illnesses affect the bioenergetic functions of cells.
When energy flow becomes abnormal, acupoints on the surrounding skin become tender and painful to touch. These are known as tsubos. In acupuncture, these points are stimulated with fine needles to generate electrical impulses and restore energy balance. In magnetic therapy, the acupoints are stimulated by tiny pulses of electromagnetic energy. Our bodies today have been developed in an environment enriched in oxygen water, nutrients and MAGNETISM. All of the natural human systems in our bodies are electro-magnetic in nature and respond to the earth’s natural magnetism.
Our bodies’ natural magnetic field is created by the flow of electrically charged ions in and out of cells, and the transmission of electric impulses through cell membranes. Due to the fast pace of modern living and the continual development in technology and society, the earth’s geomagnetic field has grown very much weaker in the recent past. This field is constantly being shielded from us by everyday items we take for granted such as: steel cars, trains, airplanes, ships and metal framed buildings.
The measurement now used for magnets is called “GAUSS,” named after the 19th century German physicist Carl Gauss, gauss measurement is based upon the lifting power of a magnet. Size, shape and construction of the magnet can also affect the strength. It is a natural way of stimulating your body to combat pain.

Usually the problem with musicians is that their posture is ‘too good’. Meaning, they overstress proper sitting, and stay still so their notes don’t go flat/sharp. The key for you will be constant stretching, as well as strenghening exercises for the mid-back. Your muscles are over-working, and pilates-type exercises will help you tremendously. If that does not help as much as you’d like, go to your chiropractor and he will rule out anything more serious, and advise a plan for getting you to feel better. Best of luck to you.
