Wow just wow ….. I wanna cry😢 I’ve been in so much pain for 7 months now bc of my rib flaring up after an adjustment and no one has even mentioned these . I’m a single mom of 4 paying out of pocket $ I don’t have after diagnosis of 4 autoimmune disease and no one has been willing to tell me hey you just need a couple of exercises and you’re good ! I’m so thankful I found you! I literally started to google what makes a pelvic tilt as this is what I was told and everyone kept ignoring my bib being out and I ended on your page . I did one exercise the one with the Pilates ball first just 4 times and I felt huge difference. My jaws been out bc of this and I swear everything started to align 😢Then I started to check all your videos and I keep thanking God for sending me to your page and giving you blessings for the gift you give ! Thank you so very much!🙏🏻🤍
I have all the same problems - pelvic tilt, jaw misalignment. I went to all kinds of doctors, personal trainers and they also ignored this problem when I was even mentioning that I have a rib flare.. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is inspiring to know it helps you. Hope you are feeling better!
Thank you 🙏 I’ve been struggling for years with rib pain and nobody has been able to help me everybody thought it was intercostal muscle or said I was completely fine. This has been helping so much plus the yoga ball/soccer ball trick with pushing the rib back in. My right rib feels pushed back in for the first time since March last year in particular
Man this has been a problem for me and I have a bad anterior pelvic tilt for 2 yrs now. The ribs been getting way worse after a car accident, but I think this is going to help in both situations. Thanks for this and the pilate ball video!
thank you! i have a severe rib flare and it always looks scary for me, it always makes me look bloated and i can never get a flat tummy or abs. i have a genetical one so i am hoping that i can fix mine.
Hey man, this is a super thoughtful approach and its much appreciated. I had a bad series of accidents years ago that really damaged my core, I couldn’t stand or walk for more than 20 min & couldn’t raise my arms. But I started by practicing 4 corner breathing and learning to calm my nerves, i began creating a practice based on yoga and basic stability exercises while studying anatomy and movement. So here i am, four years later learning pranayama and controlling my ribs! One exercise i do to help with this is ‘hinge point training’, placing a small object beneath each vertebrae segmentally and pressing down into it with the abdominals and core muscles, from the base of the spine and as high up as my mobility can allow. Your observations I believe will help me gain a better practice of this through the understanding . Also, i think the open book exercises can be good because of oblique activation and rotational control. But my ribs and sternum stick out as well, so I’m also focused on obliques as well as serratus anterior, lats. Thank you for these tips, especially the movement control in the side plank! Very very cool! Thanks!
It’s good to hear you’re doing better! I’m glad the video could give some insight. I like the open books a lot but I use it later as a progression as well as a thread the needle in quadruped. I might actually do a video on these two exercises
I just did and I cried when discovered this channel ! I also had a car accident yers ago and the chiropractor kept cracking me back and forth but never guiding me to an exercise plan to help my self till I stoped 7 months ago on the last session where my jaw went out and I was told that yoga will mess me up if I tried ….. It makes me mad how greedy people are and how unwilling to help . I’m so thankful for all this!
Your videos are way too well made not to sub not mention i literally never knew about this until today. I have it on my left rib and i never knew i could do something about it.
I have had a rib flare for years and there is fat over the ribs - I have fat no where else I look weird in a bikini - found these nice exercises - more exercises!! I do so many! Great I feel this where I should have been doing stuff that does not target this area enough! Thanks.
I developed this from having anorexia and ever since I gained weight, it’s got even more prominent and it fucking sucks. I’m convinced a weak abdomen from malnutrition caused it. Thanks for this video .
i will try this and update in the comments week by week. i go to the gym so i will try these everyday after every workout. i got 4-6 times a week so i’m hoping progress can be made and maintained
This is huge for me, I stopped 25yrs of weight training for 1yr due to our stupid lockdowns. Strength, posture all went out the window. Tilt and flare, thoracic pain followed, breathing is stuffed badly because of it. No chiro or Physio picked up on it…..I’ll give this a go. Thx heaps
@@nami6257 hey Nami, I’ve defiantly been able to reduce the flare. My main issue now is trying to regain core / trunk strength to aid in holding everything in/down.
@@orbituary I was in hospital for 4 months, on release there was no rehab as the facilities were closed. I needed more then body weight, don’t forget we had the harshest lockdowns in the world (Melbourne, Australia)
Another great video. Really appreciate the discussion about different types of flares and how to identify which you may have, as well as specific exercise to target each. If you have rib flare with one side that prominently sticks out, would doing the short lever side pump (expansion) on the side that sticks out be less helpful? I wonder in the case for people with spinal curvatures that already have one side of the ribs and flank over stretched, if this exercise should favour the tighter side instead. Thanks for posting!
When the flare is asymmetrical you can definitely benefit from doing certain activities on one side. That said, I haven’t found it an issue and instead actually find it beneficial to still use that short lever side pump on both sides. It’s actually one of the reasons I like it so much! It’ll feel listen to ally awkward at first but evens out over time (in cases without super severe scoliosis limited by bone).
Hey there. Love the fact that you have content like this. In your *opinion* can an abdominal binder/brace exacerbate rib flare? I have been using one since 2017 because I feel that I need it and recently I’ve started to wonder if it’s making things worse. Cheers.
Great question. I met someone recently that was given a brace for their rib flare but actually said it was making things worse. Obviously this is only one person's experience. That said, I don't think forcing your ribs in a static position is the answer to.... well your rib just being in a flared static position. The goal is to restore movement options at the rib so that when you breath and move... well the rib moves! I hope that all makes sense.
@@waughfit this makes total sense! It’s going to be uncomfortable but I’m going to try going without for a while. Thanks for getting back to me! I’ve got a ton of questions along the lines of this subject- do you do any video consultation ? I haven’t gotten anywhere with docs, and cannot do PT as I’m traveling for work. I’d love to pick your brain some more.
How can I tell if i can actually stop my ribs from sticking out or i simply just have a large ribcage for my size and therefore they stick out and can’t fix it?
How do I know whether its just my body or whether I can fix the flared rib? I stopped wearing bodies because you could see my ribs through it and I didn't like it. Would love if it got less. Also didn't think about the possibility of them flaring to the side. Would make my waist smaller when I do these exercises?
Good question! Belly breathing happens pretty naturally and we don't want to completely stop that process. It's more that the ribs need to move WITH the belly at about the same rate of movement. Belly breathing can add to the rib flare but overall, just get everything moving and you should be fine. I hope that makes sense and answers your question.
both of my rib sticks out but one is much noticeable, also one of my chest wont grow and im insecure about it 😭 im tryna do corrective exercise and stretches and i hope this would help me
I had muscle imbalance on the left part so I trained it a lot. Now my right rib seems not to be in line with left and the left rib below the breast part hurts during deep breath. And i think it is because the left rib has enlarged than right one.
I’m pretty sure I have some variation of this. My right side underneath my ribs hurts every time I breath and I feel like there’s a knot in my diaphragm
it is okay that i sometimes feel shortness of breath especially after eating with a rib flare. my left rib flared just a few days back and tha upper portion feel sunken inside while the lower portion protrudes out
I've been having shortness of breath. I've been trying to identify the cause. My thinking led me to this video. I think rib flares may definitely impact breathing
I just noticed I had uneven rib flare ( new term for me) a couple of days ago. I figured it was from having bad osteoarthritis for two years. There was noticeable atrophy on right leg. I had THR (total hip replacement) on right side 2 mos ago and have gone from pain & walking with a cane, even to the bathroom, to planting a 5 gal. oleander in the front yard today. It's a miracle. Are there exercises specific for this type recovery? Thank you for your instructions.
i just noticed today after looking at myself in the mirror, lost weight and notice it but it must happen in the last few year because i did not have this problem when i was youger.
Hey man cam you give me answer that is the syptom of rib flare When i sit and stand in front of mirror i feel uneveness and i see that my body os outer from abdomen part and i feel that i dont stand straight please give me answer God bless you

Any improvements yet?
Is there any sign of improvement
How it went?
Did you got to the doctors to get diagnosed? My left side has always been flared out more than my right. Should I request an x ray?
Also, I recommend doing these exercises everyday or every other day! Try for a month and see what happens.
Do you recommend this for morning or night?
@@emilyksc_ I personally prefer at night
@@waughfit can we do this after dinner ?
I can’t believe the relief and fix the first time. Going to stick with it.
