🧠 GHK on Upper Back (Thoracic Region)

1️⃣ Which Tissues Can Be Involved?

Muscles (striated): Conflict = “Not being able to move, carry, escape.”
Bones / periosteum of thoracic spine & ribs: Conflict = self-devaluation in performance, support, or carrying responsibility.
Shoulder girdle involvement: Often tied to themes of “burden / carrying too much on my shoulders.”

The upper back = load-bearing & responsibility.

🔹 Key GHK themes:

Right side = partner side.
👉 Pain in upper right back often points to a partner-related conflict: husband, colleague, friend, rival, boss, business partner.
For left-handed person: Right side = mother/child side.

Active phase: little or no pain, tissue breakdown (bone thinning or muscle atrophy).
Healing phase: swelling, inflammation, and sharp/stabbing pain (especially if periosteum is affected).
Pain is most intense at night (parasympathetic dominance).

Case 1: Woman with Upper Right Back Pain (Right-handed)

Conflict: Felt her husband didn’t support her in family responsibilities → “I have to carry everything alone.”
Resolution: When her husband started helping, she suddenly developed sharp upper right back pain for a few days.

Case 2: Manager with Right Thoracic Pain

Conflict: Couldn’t handle the pressure from his business partner → “It’s too heavy for me to carry.”
Resolution: Once the deal got resolved, he had stiffness and pain in upper right back.

Case 3: Mother (Left-handed)

Conflict: Felt burdened by her son’s problems → “I must carry him.”
Resolution: When things settled, she experienced upper right back pain (because for left-handers right side = mother/child).

👉 Upper right back pain = Healing of a burden / self-devaluation conflict linked to partner (if right-handed).

The pain is not damage → it’s the meaningful repair of bone/muscle after a stressful period of “I can’t carry this anymore.”
