Ben, I had the same problems with pain (and in fact pulled muscles) between my shoulder blades on my back. It got bad enough that i went to a sports physical therapist to check it out.

The therapist basically told me that the muscles there were pathetic and gave me exercises to strengthen them. I now find that when I do the exercises to keep the area in tone I have few problems with it. If I don't do the exercises it seems to come back.
