I have type #3 and had severe PE and after a Nuss (had bar in for 10yrs and finally removed last month!) I’m now mild-ish, and I wish that I had been informed of these exercises post-surgery. In fact, the doctor that put in the bar just said that I was simply going to be stuck with flared ribs for the rest of my life and physical therapist didn’t mention it at all. So major kudos for showing these exercises!
Me too. My surgeon (one of the top in the world) who performed Nuss on me said I had one of the most severe cases of PE she’d ever seen. If only we were given rehab exercises to perform post surgery I might be happier with the results. I’m about 7 years post bar removal and although my PE is much improved, my rib flare got SIGNIFICANTLY worse….😢 It’s a trade off for sure. My breathing is laboured and I often feel like I can’t catch a full breath. It’s a pretty invasive surgery and my ribs took a beating. A lot of calcification and boney protrusions. I can only hope these exercises offer some help at rehabilitation.
Great information. I have rib flare that I attribute to mild scoliosis and have been doing pull ups to strengthen my upper body and noticed the rib flare has reduced substantially so I know incorporating these techniques will prob fully correct this issue. Thank you for this information.
Is it really possible to change the shape of our ribs? I had PE repaired surgically but rib flare increased significantly post bar removal. I’m very asymmetrical between left and right flare . It’s such an insecurity. Even minor improvement would be life changing for me. I’m also 45. Is there a point where our bones are too set and inflexible?
@@ChaplinPerformance There was a physical therapist saying he believe upper cross can be exacerbated by or he believes even caused by the lower rib breathing issues. Is this off base as an assessment, I’m trying to learn as much as I can.
Hi Greg, with the last exercise, which side should one lie on? The side that has the rib flare or the opposite? I suspect l have a rib flare on my left. Thanks in advance for your response.
This would be very dependent on your individual presentation with regards to movement… however, trying to improve expansion on the side that is more “indented” is likely a start
@Chaplin Performance: thx for this video. I have number 2 and am doing the excercise for 4 days now and I feel somewhat better already and have less pain stitches. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get the maximum result?
Question I have type 3 rib flare: do i only need to do the excersise u show for this type of rib flare for a longer period (Like a few months)? Or do i need to start with the excersise meant for type 3 and then move on to other excersises during the same workout?
I have type 3 pectus excavatum and had surgery for it 12 years ago. The ravitch procedure got rid of the indent at the sternum but my ribs are still flared to an extent as they only operate on the sternum alone no ribs were brought forward like the nuss procedure does. I was too old for the nuss as its better to do when you're still quite young with no calcification of the your bones. I will give the exercises a try
I need help man i have chronic pain for the last 3 years in my intercostal muscles i can sit on a chair,steps,sofa or on the ground its had me in tears many times becuase im in early stages in training to become a monk so meditation is a big part of my life, any advice i cant find anything online about it
My right sided rib cage is slightly outward, the whole rib cage, it also pains. The muscles are tight on the back and it also does not expand as much as left side. It started with stiff neck, then chest pain. I have done all the tests you can name. No one told me anything. Now the pain extended to my abdominal muscles and all over my right back(whole. Please help me. Please. I have wasted so much money and equipments. Everything. I am just tired and depressed anf hate my body.
Thanks so much for the generosity of making this content to help people (like me!). A question is how long to stay in the headstand inversion? I find it quite intense on the neck. I tried 4 minutes. That felt max for me. Is it worth staying longer in 1 session?... or maybe shorter 1 minutes sessions but do say 3 rep's? THANKS!

Rick Flare
Glad to know I have type 1.. probably due to weak glutes or with upper cross. Gonna work on it!! Ty!
You are welcome. Not usually a weak glute issue or upper crossed though.

Flare side down to start, but usually both sides
@@ChaplinPerformance thanks mate. Do you offer online consultation or a course on PRI?
I have a fourth kind of rib flare. I have pectus carinatum, and one side of my rib is flaring while the other is indented. Any tips for me?

Thanks Terri!

Great content!! Tks
Would you do both sides in the case of pectus excavatum?
Likely yes!

When you exhale, is this coming from lowervbelly/hip bone muscles?

Shorter for sure
How would you treat a T7 SCI with a rib flare? Great explanation and visuals.
That’s outside of my wheelhouse… refer out
I hate my rib flare.
Thank you👍👍
Thank You!
Thanks Mary Jo!
On the right I have type one and on the left I have type 2, is it possible?
Yeah very much. You can be more caved in on one side for sure
🫶🏿 genious understanding of the biomechanics of the ribcage
Great video! Can we do the 1st exercise also using a chair at home?
I’d just do it on the floor if you don’t have a bench
