  • @robertmartin4449
    @robertmartin4449 2 роки тому +474

    I’m an osteopath. This is some good advice. I’d stick with the softer fixed point. Anytime there’s a pain response in the body it turns on the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). Softer, slower changes over a long timeframe will be more effective. There’s also lots of plexus (nerve bundles) in that area. If you aggravate them you’ll be irritating the structures those nerves supply.

    32 years old and had this my whole life. If you're young and have this, start doing this asap. I never thought my rib flare was anything but an aesthetic thing, but, it'll make it waaaay harder for you to have proper posture, and proper form for workouts. That tightness will start flaring up before you even finish your workout, and even will flare up if you try and force yourself to sit up straight. Trust me, the earlier you start, the better you'll feel.

After seeing loads of specialists, scans and MRI's, no one knew the cause. But it's only now do I think it is rib flare that has been causing it. I know I have rib flare but never thought that could be the cause. These excercises really help. Perhaps finally, I am on the road to normal.

    Nice. I have flare on my right side due to surgery to remove a chunk of my right pec minor years ago. I had something akin to thoracic outlet syndrome and the surgery caused a release.... forward rotation and a drop of the rib cage on the right side with the inverse on the left. The focus has been strengthening my right pec minor while stretching the left pec minor in an effort to partially reverse the surgery. I'll try this. Thank you.

    I’ve watched a hundred videos on rib flare that say”simple fix for rib flare” but this one actually is simple and seems to be working. If the goal is to extend the diaphragm capacity down into the abdominal area to bring the ribs back into better positioning I’ve been focusing mostly on maximum exhale and then intake breath is only what I need versus a big inhale. Am I correct in that assumption. I’ve always excelled at gulping in air but haven’t paid much attention to exhalation. Maybe that’s the reason I have a magnificent right rip flare?

    Damn, man I’ve had a similar injury/situation. Any help from anyone would be AMAZING. I have a rib in that same specific location that feels like it’s slightly poking outwards. I can grab the tip of it (feels very pointy) and wiggle it around with a slight clicking sensation in the area. I’ve only noticed this after losing a lot of weight and running / exercising almost daily in this past year or 2. I can sometimes feel a tingling sensation in my back inbetween the shoulder blade and the spine area where all the ribs come to meet in the spine. I’ve always had a poor posture growing up, and I’m working on that every single day, so I thought it may be the cause for the rib and pain/discomfort. The little armpit area under your back shoulder blade, will hurt or I will feel some slight discomfort tingling for a moment. I’ve been doing ab/planking exercises to try and strengthen my core, but just don’t know how I can work on this specific issue of mine. To be honest I had thought it was a liver problem because that is the same area and you will sometimes experience the same type of symptoms. Thanks for anyone whom may read this and reach out with some different ideas would be greatly appreciated.

And I have been having tremendous headaches, shoulder, pain, and neck pain from it.I’m gonna try and hope it works
