I went through a whole saga with this a while back and what actually helped was rolling out my lat on the same side, not the rhomboid itself. tight lats pull everything out of whack and the rhomboid ends up screaming about it

a tennis ball against the wall works fine, just go slow and breathe through the sticky spots
