    Use modalities to treat pain. You may use any one of them. These are superficial heating methods like Infrared, electrical heating pads, moist heat packs, etc & deep heating methods which are SWD, Micro wave diathermy, ultrasound. TENS and Interferential are also helpful.

    Strength and endurance training exercises for the shoulder elevators.

    Stretching exercises especially for the scalene muscles and pectoralis minor.

    Posture correction exercises

    Moblization and manipulation procedures to address the joint stiffness in the spine. (Moblization of the first rib)

    Stretch and spray therapy as described by Jenet Travell and D.G. Simon ( Myofascial pain and Dysfunction)

    I think that this will be of help to you.

    I am wondering where you usually use the modalities for pain? They may have pain totally unrelated to the structure at fault.
