This is a great tool for any beginners and could try this as well to help ease chest tightness and pain brought about the inflammation of your costochondral junction and this other video from last year th-cam.com/video/p7sdXwfaha0/w-d-xo.html , Until next time Pilates and Yoga Lovers! leave a comment below for any future exercise videos or concerns, especially during this difficult times of social distancing.
Its such a relief to know others are having this problem as well. I suffer from bad anxiety attacks everyday and when you live alone your mind can start going into panic.
It actually got better once i took it slow and had the right posture, i had too much weight on my dumbbells. Just a tip to start off with the small ones and two days a week like tuesday and friday and rest in between. If you already are in pain then rest up until it stops hurting.
I did these stretchs for 2 weeks once per day and i'm in the third week and 90% of the pain has gone, so i think if i go on with this routine i'll be 100% recovered soon, so thank you so much!
Thank you Annie for fixing my sternum pain once and for all! I did this routine twice a day for a week or so then went on to once a day. It quickly resolved. I think the deep breathing with the twists and stretches is what really did it. I had this pain off and on for a couple of years. I have been without it now for about 9 months thanks to you! I appreciate you!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with us. I was diagnosed with costocondritis about 2 years now went to ER twice and was treated with pain killers after a couple of weeks it came back on due to lifting grocery bags and doing normal house chores. I almost give up on life I thought I had to live with this pain for the rest of my life. Until I went to the ER one last time where I met a different doctor he said no I'm not giving u any tablets go home and do some stretches. I swear I had wanted to burst into tears because no one was willing to help me. However I realized I had no choice so I searched and found this video. This video that changed my life I did these stretches for three months now and it's like a miracle. Thank you so much I did it twice daily and as the pain decreased once daily and now twice a week. Thank you again
Wow amazing transformation , keep performing these and try to progress as well with my other exercises to keep it at bay . I will be re-opening my class soon link on the description if you need and extra hand and support
He had been suffering from many ailments for more than four months due to costochondritis. I tried doing some exercises I found on the Internet, but it kept getting worse. With fear I started doing these exercises yesterday because I have an inflamed xiphoid process and I felt improvement immediately; my breathing improved. God bless you and reward you with health. I am immensely grateful to you for sharing these exercises with us. Wishing you a happy life. Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪
Thank you for this video. It was extremely overwhelming just emotionally in realizing how much the pain has lowered my quality of life. I feel your exercises helping me without making it extremely painful.
I’ve been suffering for years with this, I’ve only just come aware of the diagnosis and for years I thought I was near death - I always had this fear I’d die young and really this was giving me debilitating effects on my well being. I’m so relieved to finally get some idea of what’s happening for my body. In addition I must say the last stretch really highlighted this must be the condition that’s impacting me - my left side was soo tight compared to my right side. Thanks for putting this together Annie 😊🎄
Damn bro I’m having the same and I’m feeling the same bro this it’s crazy man I can’t sleep hopefully this video help me out imma try to do it every day and see
I run now over 3 years with Costocondritis ( tietze Syndrom ) , gave a lot of money for some stuff nothing helps me , since I see your workout ,even after the first try i feels so much better , thank you dear lady 💓

It's really helpful for me sister.i had kidney transplant surgery 3months before and last one month iam struggled with costocontrotis pain.iam really impressed about you.Because I spent lots of money for this pain but couldn't get cured.no doctors or physiotherapist explained like u and teach therapy like u.i loved ur teaching very much.thank u sister
Felt the pain for almost two years, when I moved up the shoulders, Now I just did one session and It's gone like 80% Just Wow. Thank you and blessings from me.
Wow Thats great and if you need an extra support and guidance, Join my upcoming course www.backmasterclass.com/general-opt-in1593164696831 i am hoping to meet you soon
I usually don't comment on videos but honestly this routine is doing wonders, I've been walking around with chest pain / rhomboid pain for several months and even though I stopped working out completely to let it heal, it didn't get better; but I just followed along this video and I already feel a great alleviation after just one session. I will be doing this daily from now on !
I should really try that out, dealing with the same thing..i was smoking hash and working out without stretching or warming up for every day hard for a week and i have this thing now..i had to stop smoking but that is good.. i looked at all the guys going to the gym looking like they have no pain and thought it was something wrong with me that i was weaker built than anyone else..now i realize it can happen to anyone.
MAM YOU LITERALLY JUST SAVED ME THOUSANDS!!!! I WAS SO AFRAID!!!! I am only 30 and thought I was having a heart attack!!!! I just slept wrong lol and the pain stopped after the 3rd stretch!!! I love you! May GOD supernaturally bless u forever!!!
It amazes me all the things yoga can fix. I signed up a few weeks go and did a basic course so far. Since they all closed now I will watch your videos even more.
As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers th-cam.com/users/postUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!
Thank you very much for this video!! I think I have had this condition for 7 months plus,but the pain got really worse the last 3 months and then was diagnosed after doing all the tests! I have been on anti inflammatory and pain medication for 2 months without relief and injection every week. Started your exercises 5 days back,doing it everyday and CBD oil and I have had the most relief and the least pain I have had in months so from the bottom of my heart thank you!!!!
Thank You soo much Lady Annie. I've been experiencing soo much pain on my chest because of costrocondritis and after doing this yoga stretch for 3 weeks it helped me a lot . It improved my health 😊💖 GodBless you.
@@notafeeder i'm perfectly fine . after doing this stretching and some rest and drinking tea for anti inflammatories 😊 the pain is gone. But sometimes if flares up if i stop stretching .
@@haycamorato3294 That is great news! you can also further improve you overall health, join my 30 day beginner friendly Pilates and Yoga so you won;'t get anymore flare ups by strengthening you core muscles as well to help support your chest.
i had been dealing with excruciating chest pains in the evening and could barely sleep. From day one when I started doing these exercises the pain reduced significantly and I could sleep through the night. It's been a week of these exercises and the stabbing pains I would get in my chest shooting down my left arm are gone. Thank you!
Thank you so much! this was soo helpful. Halfway through i started crying. i realised my chest was tight it felt nice to just be able to breathe so deeply
Thank you so much I was feeling so much pressure in my back/chest area & as I followed along so many releasing burps came up & I feel a million times better🙏🏼💜
I bin dealing with chest pain for 5 months in n out the hospital thinkin sumthing is wrong n ever I go they was nothing wrong with until I check out this feel I feel so great ❤❤
Hello! Thank you so much for this video.After years I’m able to sleep on my back again. My Costo was causing me so much discomfort while laying in a bed, that I had to sleep on right side all the time which was even making it worse. So much relief after doing these stretches. Thank you
Wow got almost a decade so much problems with this, i love kickboxing but it just created more tightness around my ribcage and especially shoulderblade at one side. Through the years it slowly got a little bit better and more flexible but these excersises just hit all the right spots for me. What a life saver! Thank you so much!
In my profession I spend a lot of time slightly bent forward. Been struggling with costochondritis for weeks now. Until I bumped into this video. What a relieve bringer this is! Thank you Annie :)
This really helped me today. Thank you. I am so glad I found it this morning. Have had constant pain moving around in my ribs for months and now only when I move in certain positions, such as doing chest / heart openings in yoga. So feels like something might be improving. I have tight ribs in the morning. When the pain comes it takes my breath away through pinching and it is both left and right sides. Does this sound like costochondritis?
I am so glad I have found your channel. Your chest and shoulder exercises have really helped loosen my muscles. I have been a typist all my life and have very tight shoulders and forward neck. In just the past week, my posture and flexibility have improved.
One day I was sitting watching tv, hunched over. As I straighten up I felt a pain radiating from my back to my chest. So painful, the doctor finally said it was Costochondritis, it hurt just to touch my sternum. On & off the pain lasted for yrs, I went to the ER & agin doc said is costo & told me to practice good posture. It’s been like 12 yrs on & off but recently after using garden sheers the tightness & pain return with a vengeance omg. My sternum is sooo sore. Pain between my & under my breast (my ribs), my collarbone on the left & worst of all muscle spasms that scared the mess outta me. I just tried these stretches, painful but some relief. I’ll keep doing this, thank you
woah this was my first time doing this and right after i finished i took a breath and it felt so much more open. thank you ill be doing this more often 🥺
I was told I had costo in 2013, I’m 29 I have allergies so I sneeze very hard & I’m almost in a constant flare . I also have fibro which makes this harder bc I’m sore everywhere even at rest, committing to doing this daily. Just means a lot of pillow usage for me lol. Yoga starts @ 3:50
I have throatic spine setonsis near shoulder blade to T1-C7 due to neck traction screw up my perfect left side . Now , I want to drop down and mobility upper back and ribcage . But chest front and back too tighting . I do not want to do surgery. Ca I do your exercise to improve chest pain and tightning?
As a 58 year old Aussie Male, fit from years of CrossFit I thought it hysterical when she was reaching for her foot, and said I might get my head to my knee. It was about a foot away. :)
Hi Annie, thank you for this video, this is not only help me with costochondritis but also my phlegm in my lungs on my left chest is also getting eased, I can cough it out, especially my GERD also because sometimes it was very painful on my chest n the heartburn also, so I try to practice 2 days then stop 2 days and start again 2 days. Now not as painful as before.. Thank you🥰
I have had this condition for just over a month now I have a lot of pain in the middle of my chest and both left and right ribs is there specific stretches I should do that you would recommend ?
Hey Annie. Great video as always. I suffer with stiff chest muscles as well as intercostal muscle aches because of my poor posture, so this could be great for me. I need to get me a bolster. Sorry I haven't been around so often, but I'm snowed under with commissions at the moment. I assure you I always watch and will be using some of your videos a lot in the future. I hope this finds you well 🙂🙂🙂
Hi Annie. Thank you so much for posting this video. It has helped with the pain in my sternum (left side). I’ve only been doing this exercise for about 2 weeks and the pain now comes and goes. I hope the pain will eventually go away for good. Does costochondritis also feel like breast pain? The reason I ask is because I sometimes feel pain on the outer side of my left breast and sometimes deep underneath my left nipple. I don’t usually feel pain on all three locations (including my sternum) all at once. It’s usually just one location at a time. The breast pain usually comes on after lying in bed for a while, like when i wake up in the morning. Appreciate your input on this.
Yes there are a lot of deep muscles underneath the breast tissue . Check your neck as well it is possible the pain is from your neck try this th-cam.com/video/dpdrsrnMyIc/w-d-xo.html and this th-cam.com/video/ivvlx789p2k/w-d-xo.html let me know how’s you find these exercises
Annie Pilates Physical Therapist Great news! I haven’t felt any pain today at all. First time in about 3 months that I haven’t felt any discomfort/slight pain in my chest area. Thank you so much for posting this costochondritis stretches video. You’re a life saver! Just letting you know that I have also been doing your neck exercises to treat the herniated disc in my neck. It’s helped get rid of the pain and numbness in my neck, shoulder, arm, and fingers. Sometimes if I work too long in my computer the neck pain comes back, but it always goes away after doing your recommended neck stretches/exercises. You’re a godsend! May God Bless you always!
I am feeling pain in my chest since last one year, when I wake up in the morning, this pain is felt a little more and I always feel tightness in my chest, I feel pain even after moving around on the bed, I benefit from this yoga. will get ? Please Reply Mam

Thanks for the chest exercise, I feel better and relief in my chest 😊. But the audio was a bit low, so I couldn't really hear some things properly, until I looked to see what you were doing. Nice video ☺️
Hello Madam, Thank you very much for this video!!! i feel good at the first time when i do this session! Since One year i have this pain during the lockdown, and still the mask really stress my costo muscle, everyday. I continue to do this session everyday. what should we do before and after this excercise(like : drinking water , eating food)?

Glad to hear that this is helping you a lot. I have a beginner 30 Day wellness journey you can join as well as a gentle progression, let me know if you would like to join. Blessings.
Thank you Annie!!! For the last month I have been following this video every day for my Costochondritis and it has been so helpful. With my physiotherapist's office closing as part of the lockdown, I have been so grateful for your channel. You are helping give me a bit of peace of mind and comfort during these crazy times! Quick question - At 19:04 when you rise up from the horizontal plank, is that just like a little sit-up to fire up your core, or is there another purpose? Also, should we do this one or two times? Thank you again!! -Tess

After sustaining a neck injury I have burning in my sternum on both sides especially after my posture has gotten worse since the injury. Is it okay to do these even if I do get burning from them?
Hello Annie!!! I was thrilled to find you through Reddit. I’ve been dealing with costochondritis since Nov 2023. I’ve tried your video for a few days. I don’t know if this needs to get worse before it gets better and I need to just stick with it? Is there any advice you can give me about doing your stretches/exercises and seeming to be very inflamed after? Is that normal? Am I doing something wrong? 0:34
You are Very Welcome ! I have a gentle progression with the Ball and elastic band you could Try . It is in my playlist for costchondritis . Blessings ans Best of health 🙏❤️
Hello Annie, since suffering a minor attack in January I received 2 coronary stents and have been having chest pains from GERD and costochondritis since then. Most days I am in a lot of discomfort. Pain relievers and a proton pump inhibitor helps at times but provide only temporary relief. I must tell you your exercises are a God sent and is helping me. Can you tell me though if I will be cured from the chest wall pains doing these stretches daily?
Sherene Fletcher yes , due to the surgery your chest muscles got really tight as a defense mechanisms from the minor heart attack and 2 stents placement . Our bodies have a tendency to tighten UP,. These exercises are gentle enough for you but still be careful and take it easy , dont over exert yourself . Year the pain Will Go away as you continue to lengthen and strengthen your chest wall muscles C your intercostals and deep breathing is important for your diaphragm . Definitely GERD is not helping your diaphragm so make sure you did not just ate before you exercise . Best of health , be well and be safe 🙏❤️
This is a great tool for any beginners and could try this as well to help ease chest tightness and pain brought about the inflammation of your costochondral junction and this other video from last year th-cam.com/video/p7sdXwfaha0/w-d-xo.html , Until next time Pilates and Yoga Lovers! leave a comment below for any future exercise videos or concerns, especially during this difficult times of social distancing.

As a 58 year old Aussie Male, fit from years of CrossFit I thought it hysterical when she was reaching for her foot, and said I might get my head to my knee. It was about a foot away. :)

Hi Annie, thank you for this video, this is not only help me with costochondritis but also my phlegm in my lungs on my left chest is also getting eased, I can cough it out, especially my GERD also because sometimes it was very painful on my chest n the heartburn also, so I try to practice 2 days then stop 2 days and start again 2 days. Now not as painful as before.. Thank you🥰

Awesome video! This is exactly what I was looking for! thank you :)
That’s great ! Keep me posted on your progress
Hey Annie. Great video as always. I suffer with stiff chest muscles as well as intercostal muscle aches because of my poor posture, so this could be great for me. I need to get me a bolster. Sorry I haven't been around so often, but I'm snowed under with commissions at the moment. I assure you I always watch and will be using some of your videos a lot in the future. I hope this finds you well 🙂🙂🙂
How are you feeling now?
Hi Annie. Thank you so much for posting this video. It has helped with the pain in my sternum (left side). I’ve only been doing this exercise for about 2 weeks and the pain now comes and goes. I hope the pain will eventually go away for good. Does costochondritis also feel like breast pain? The reason I ask is because I sometimes feel pain on the outer side of my left breast and sometimes deep underneath my left nipple. I don’t usually feel pain on all three locations (including my sternum) all at once. It’s usually just one location at a time. The breast pain usually comes on after lying in bed for a while, like when i wake up in the morning. Appreciate your input on this.
Yes there are a lot of deep muscles underneath the breast tissue . Check your neck as well it is possible the pain is from your neck try this th-cam.com/video/dpdrsrnMyIc/w-d-xo.html and this th-cam.com/video/ivvlx789p2k/w-d-xo.html let me know how’s you find these exercises
Annie Pilates Physical Therapist Thank you so much for your response and for the links. You’re awesome!
boang8 you are very welcome keep me posted
Annie Pilates Physical Therapist Great news! I haven’t felt any pain today at all. First time in about 3 months that I haven’t felt any discomfort/slight pain in my chest area. Thank you so much for posting this costochondritis stretches video. You’re a life saver!
Just letting you know that I have also been doing your neck exercises to treat the herniated disc in my neck. It’s helped get rid of the pain and numbness in my neck, shoulder, arm, and fingers. Sometimes if I work too long in my computer the neck pain comes back, but it always goes away after doing your recommended neck stretches/exercises. You’re a godsend! May God Bless you always!

Hello Madam, Thank you very much for this video!!! i feel good at the first time when i do this session! Since One year i have this pain during the lockdown, and still the mask really stress my costo muscle, everyday. I continue to do this session everyday. what should we do before and after this excercise(like : drinking water , eating food)?
it is best with empty stomach, no water and food unless you feel you are a little bit dehydrated then take some sips of water. Then you can eat afterwards. Glad to hear that this is helping you a lot. I have a beginner 30 Day wellness journey you can join as well as a gentle progression, let me know if you would like to join. Blessings.

With my physiotherapist's office closing as part of the lockdown, I have been so grateful for your channel. You are helping give me a bit of peace of mind and comfort during these crazy times!
Quick question - At 19:04 when you rise up from the horizontal plank, is that just like a little sit-up to fire up your core, or is there another purpose? Also, should we do this one or two times?
Thank you again!!

I Will do a Pilates and Yoga fusion progression for this diagnosis soon to challenge more and improve your overall health a 30 minute video to maintain and fix your costochondritis as your progress more and to Add on this program so stay tuned sometime next week.

After sustaining a neck injury I have burning in my sternum on both sides especially after my posture has gotten worse since the injury.
Is it okay to do these even if I do get burning from them?
No stop , this is for chest only . Try my neck exercises instead let me know if you want the link for the neck
Hello Annie!!!
I was thrilled to find you through Reddit. I’ve been dealing with costochondritis since Nov 2023.
I’ve tried your video for a few days. I don’t know if this needs to get worse before it gets better and I need to just stick with it?
Is there any advice you can give me about doing your stretches/exercises and seeming to be very inflamed after? Is that normal? Am I doing something wrong? 0:34
Thanks Annie Very useful video
You are Very Welcome ! I have a gentle progression with the Ball and elastic band you could Try . It is in my playlist for costchondritis . Blessings ans Best of health 🙏❤️
Hello Annie, since suffering a minor attack in January I received 2 coronary stents and have been having chest pains from GERD and costochondritis since then. Most days I am in a lot of discomfort. Pain relievers and a proton pump inhibitor helps at times but provide only temporary relief. I must tell you your exercises are a God sent and is helping me. Can you tell me though if I will be cured from the chest wall pains doing these stretches daily?
Sherene Fletcher yes , due to the surgery your chest muscles got really tight as a defense mechanisms from the minor heart attack and 2 stents placement . Our bodies have a tendency to tighten UP,. These exercises are gentle enough for you but still be careful and take it easy , dont over exert yourself . Year the pain Will Go away as you continue to lengthen and strengthen your chest wall muscles C your intercostals and deep breathing is important for your diaphragm . Definitely GERD is not helping your diaphragm so make sure you did not just ate before you exercise . Best of health , be well and be safe 🙏❤️
