Hi fleagurl

It could be one of a few things - joints/ribs in your upper back being tight; some muscle spasm in the area; or your diaphragm which commonly causes heartburn.

All of these are not serious and usually can settle themselves down quickly. If it is ongoing or coming back all the time then you need to do a few things.

Pilates is good for strength and flexibilty, but waiting 9 monhts to get pain relief is waiting 9 months too long. Pain should settle with any technique within a week or two - no matter how long you have had it.

Try some stretches, Acupressure or other techniques to ease the pain. Do things your self first and then if things do not settle quickly, it would pay to see someone - a Chiro,PT or medic.

But got to the link below and try some techniques and you should be able to remove the pain your self.

All the best.

Could be many things. However chances are it is just bad posture. If you have children and lift them up, if you are sitting in a office all day, bust size I hate to say, over weight. I went to Pilate's as I have scoliosis and kyphosis, so back pain, upper and lower. It was tough work, but I stuck with it one session once a week for one hour. Nine months later it was worth all the hard effort, learned about core stability, posture, strengthened muscle I never knew I had and lost weight. Good Luck
