Hi.. there could be weakness of your scapular stabilizers. As well as a trigger point that is making the muscle stiff.
Next Steps
try the tennis ball trigger point release method (with the ball between your body and the wall) for the "rhomboids" (this is the muscle name I suspect has the trigger point as per your description). Apply ice pack post that. Check on YouTube for the videos.
Health Tips
You need to do stretches and strength training for the scapular stabilizers.
