- Rib Pain
The ribs are the individual bones that form the rib cage. The rib cage serves to protect the vital organs such as the lungs and the heart. The rib cage spans from the neck to near the hips and is made of hard bone tissue for protection, but pieced together by flexible cartilage to allow for expansion of the lungs for breathing. Muscles in between each rib hold the bones together, maintain proper spacing, and facilitate the expansion for breathing. Humans have 12 pairs of ribs: 14 true ribs that surround the body, 6 false ribs that partially surround the body starting from the sternum, and 4 false ribs that originate at the spine and do not surround the body at all.
Ribs can become bruised, broken, separated, and the muscles can be pulled or torn. Excessive strain in twisting motions, abrupt direction changes, or a blunt force can all cause muscle pain of the ribs, while blunt or sharp forces are almost always the cause of breaks or bruising. Rib pain is often felt at or around the ribs and can radiate into the back or abdominals. The pain can range from sore or annoying on inspiration to extremely painful and disruptive of normal breathing.
Use KT Tape to relieve pressure and pain, increase circulation to promote the healing process, and relax any strained muscles. Due to the properties of KT Tape, the ribs remain flexible enough to allow for breathing, but excess motion is alleviated and increased circulation is encouraged. This flexible support provides a very unique system for managing pain and encouraging the body to heal.
Most rib injuries are left to heal on their own with little intervention. In some cases, as with muscle tears or separation, immobilization with special belts is used to allow for proper healing. Broken or fractured ribs cannot be put into a cast or immobilized like other bones of the body making the healing process long and at times quite painful. Avoid contact sports, lightly and progressively stretch, and ice after activity. Seek additional care if breathing becomes difficult, extreme swelling or bruising occurs, or sharp pains radiate to other areas.

nice vid, however I would like to see a vid of how you're supposed to apply the tape to yourself with no help at home
This is a problem with virtually every video it seems sadly….
Hi, could you please post a video on how to tape the front part of the ribs just below your chest? Thanks
This forum. is good.
I need to see that too
You can apply the first 2 strips and see if that gives you the support you need.
So hard to sleep with rib pain. It's honestly misery. O:
Liss Anne I have a bruised rib right now, and I can barely get any sleep
Same way it's been a week since cracked it. Was wondering when you finally stared feeling relief and was able to resume normal activities again?
Charles Mantaghi About 2 weeks after. There was a couple of times that the pain comes back after doing something hard on my back so I would have to rest my back for 2 days. It is feeling a lot better now.
Oh honey so sorry. Hoping it's healing.. And your getting some sleep
@@CharlZard19 this my question now it’s my 4th week with just little improvement
Thank you for such great info. Blessings 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Yes. It will stabilize and support to give relief.

KT Tape hi would kt tape work for pulled muscle through coughing on left side rib pain
I got rib pain from using crutches, found this video and decided to check out their website. Luckily it was available at my local drug store. Had to ask sales person to help me find it cause it wasn't in bandage section for some reason. Tried it and works very well relieving pain, but MUST shave area and clean with alcohol or won't stick. I wasted several strips before learning my lesson. Try it, sure beats having to take lots of pain meds or worse yet, living with the pain!
I feel so good thank you
Can you do a video of how to tape for costochondritis (pain on the front of the breastbone)?
I would really love to know how to apply this stuff as well to the sternum area too
If the pain is in the front of the body, towards the end of the ribs, is the same procedure applicable?
What is the location of pain is near the spine. T4/T5 area. Can this tap be used to hold the back in place there?
Merci
how long are you suppose to keep it taped up? how long do tapes last?
Existe tesoura propria para isso? E onde vende?
please tell me whether this cures floating rib syndrome!!?
I was in an accident and broke 2 ribs. The x-ray shows they have healed, but I have been in pain since I broke them 2 years ago! Wish I knew if this really works before I spend my money on them.
Designs By Sher I've tried this for cracked ribs. Save your money and buy some calcium supplements. KT tape is snake oil for half of their supposed applications.
Check out Kratom for that pain. Just google search it. It actually worked for my pain
yes- just modify the placement so it's over the point of pain and you should be fine. thx
I can not find this kit for the ribs. It's not even on your website.
question: will the tape help for a fractured rib?
somewhat, but it will not cure it
can this work for broken ribs?
"No contact sports". I gotta tape up for pro wrestling tomorrow, guess on SOL
What if the rib injury is in the front?
Iv got rib pain from compretion will this help
Will KT tape work if you got hit in that area
This looks good but i am a hairy hairy b-stard, no way would i be able to use this without shaving or waxing. If my friends found out i shaved or waxed my body i would never hear the end of it.
Is this for Fx Ribs
I used a waspie belt it was great
yes is very.....
So last night my Rottweiler accidentally. Knocked me down the steps and my upper rib hurts like where the green tape is in the video I hit the steps so hard I bruised my shoulder to can you tell me if I bruised it or not I have no pain breathing but just when I move to much or touch it and it’s not red or bruised color
Hey how you doing i just cracked my ribs and it seems like forever to heal and its only been 2 weeks and it's seems like its never going away!!!!!!
I fractured 7 ribs 8 months ago. The ribs have joined but there is extreme tightness ( like a tight band) where the ribs broke. This tightness changes into soreness if I walk around s lot. Possibly a muscle issue? Could it be damaged scar tissue? Would a ks tape help?
It may be the scar tissue the breaks made whilst healing, if it is the only thing you can do is stretch through it. You are supposed to keep moving and stretching all the way through the healing process. but I feel for ya dude, i only have 2 broke ribs (for the second time) and its hard for me to keep doing it never mind having 7 to deal with. Good luck.
I have the same sensation after breaking a couple ten weeks ago. I’ve tried the kt tape today and feels like it helps ease the tightness. How did you get on?
Where to buy
Drugstore
Will this help for rip slipping syndrome?
OMG is that your twin brother?
Dennis Galligher
lol i think its his younger taller son
and if breast are in the way what to do?
Kathy Adams
i also wondered...tape those babies up too! haha
They should not be in the way I just did and my breast weren't in the way
I fell off the roof after I slipped, boom, six ribs and a pneumothorax. It socks sleeping.
that sounds horrible, and I'm over here complaining about my one fractured rib
I've just had a bike accident 3 weeks ago and I've fractured my collarbone, broken 9 ribs 4 at the front and 5 at the back and I too had a pneumothorax. I feel your pain sleeping sucks so bad I'm still sleeping on a lilo because my bed is too hard and my sofa is broken. Please can you shed any light on when this could potentially get better for me?
Thank you
Emma
Is their a wrong way to tape ribs?
This rib application can be adjusted as you need to match your specific pain point - the best way is the one that works for you!

I bind with kttape (I'm trans) and I have discomfort and pain constantly on the front and sides of my chest. is this normal or is it from my other binder?
It’s likely from binding too tightly using the tape. It’s why binding with tape/bandages is avoided and proper compression binders are your safest options
Great...not so much if you live alone.
My mum😭has to go to the hospital she has bad bad bad rib pain😭
