Dude. I’ve had this since as long as I can remember, like 7 yrs old, I’m 20 now and just thought I had ribs that grew weird. I randomly came across this video and I’m like no way this is an actual thing?!!??!! Did the exercise and immediately saw results. I almost didn’t recognize my body looking in the mirror without my ribs sticking out past my chest pretty much.
I'll admit that I was quite skeptical when I clicked on this - I've tried a lot of techniques that claimed to fix flared ribs, and none of them have, which is why I'm pleasantly surprised by just how well this worked. Obviously my rib flare isn't completely gone, but I can already see a difference. Will definitely implement this into my daily routine, thank you so much for doing this!
Brother, I'm coming back to your video because I just remembered that I did your exercises three days ago. I'm praying for you. I wish you the best life possible, both on this planet and afterward in paradise, for you and your family. For the past 8-9 years, I've had a frozen shoulder on my left side and a misaligned rib on my right side. That started when I was 25. Now I'm 34. I did your exercise for the ribs, and after several attempts, my rib moved back into the right position-first 90%, then 100%. Automatically, my frozen shoulder also disappeared. It pulled hard everywhere, but in the end, everything was free! Thank you so much.
I love how you explained what caused rib flares and how it worked, it really helped me understand. Honestly it's kinda relaxing practicing breathing with the back of my rib cage, kinda like meditation!
@@brocksyt7625its improving a lot plus I learned more about the back and other problems i have from his channel, this guy is literally the first one who exactly addressed it, I also had anxiety because of it and other stuff but now everything is so much better
@@LLLLLL001not abdomen but what actually turned my attention to this issue is that i felt something under my ribs over my abs if that makes sense and when i tried to figure it out i stumbled up on rib flares and these vids fixed it mostly
@LLLLLL001yeah I feel air and trapped gas under my abdomen when I do this… not sure if I’m doing it right but I definitely feel tension being let go when doing these exercises
@@woofowwwododo I’ve been watching videos on rib flare. And there appear to be two different kinds. One has to do with posture, breathing, etc. and that is the kind that these exercises help. The other has to do with the actual bones. And it is usually associated with chest deformity called “percussion excavating”. Unfortunately, I have the latter. So I don’t think the exercises will work for me either.
You probably should have also added the fact that if you inhale to hard or exhale to hard you will force the stomach to be pulled up, which in turn will further exacerbate the flare more. So keep it litearlly nice and gentle both on the inhale and exhale guys.
I have this quite badly, tried it and it’s life changing with the results, immediately and will keep at it. I never really thought this was a possible problem to occur. I’ve always had this restriction with my breathing. I’m 22 and I thought that oh, it’s just my ribs grew weird and never realized for the longest time. Turns out my ribcage wasn’t ribcaging properly. Thank you so much sir! 🙏❤️
I never even heard of rib flare until today. I always felt that my ribcage jutted out a bit at the bottom but I never knew it was an issue with my breathing form. As I was doing the exercises I felt my back expanding as I breathed in a way I never did before.
Holy shit, this actually works. I was extremely skeptical when i clicked on this video, but my lower rib flare significantly improved in just a few minutes. I've been stessing about this for years. Thanks so much for this.
@@cmo1877 nah lol I did this shit one time so I’m not a good reference but I’ve been doing about exercises for a while and I still have flared rib badly… if you do this for 2 months straight everyday you’ll def see results though
In Japan there are tons of influencers who just suggest to use your hand or a towel to wrap around the rib cage and forcefully narrow it. I think your method makes more sense and it address the root cause 😮❤
Damn bro, ill keep doing this evey morning and ill see if it will 100% vanish after a while. You deserve a like, a comment, and a sub. Thank you for helping me fix my body.
Thankyou so much. It's just a blessing I found your videos because the Dr's. I have been seeing have absolutely nothing to say or do. You truly are special.
I’m an opera singer, and I think I have rib flare and know that I had an injury to the rib cage and sternum before. We stand to sing with our chest up, and this makes the rib pain worse. Thanks for this exercise.
Thank you so much am 13 and had these rib flares and thought I was stuck with them but because of your video now I can see a HUGE difference and it’s really helped me out thank you again
Breathing exercises have been an essential element of my preparation for the 64 years that I have been singing. I tend to forget when I'm not singing, in part because I grew up at over 7,000 feet above sea level and now live at sea level with a 120% lung capacity. These look like great exercises! I will have to try them.
right away, this helped. SO. MUCH. So when i was younger I always had a habit of sucking in my stomach cuz i was insecure about my looks which led me to develop flared ribs. This reduced it by so much, thank you so much
Hello, Can i ask you how much minutes did you do in a sesion? I was a fat kid and now that i lost weight my ribs look noticeably ugly, because i sucked my stomach in all the time
Thank you sir, struggling with body dysmorphia because of my rib flare wich i didn't know was a thing but noticed an immediate difference after doing these exercises.
Thank you! What a strange problem I've had for so long in my life. So many postural issues from living on a computer my whole life. This one in particular is weird!
I literally thought I was going to have my rib flare forever after a hiccuped scoliosis surgery. I spent a good 5 minutes doing this and I’m beyond thrilled!! Magic in a cup, this video 😭👍👍
I was diagnosed with serious lung damage from cancer radiotherapy at 32 😮. You wouldn't believe the extent of my rib flair 21 years later! All that time I've been searching for help, paid £££ for physio, chiro, osteopy ,nobody ever could make any difference. Until I saw this and Conner's other videos. A couple of these simple, easy exercises and I feel SO much better straightaway. So, so grateful for you sharing your rare knowledge 🙏🙏. Going to do the Introductory Course 🙏
Purse lip breathing actually exhales more air and deflates the lungs more as opposed to opening your mouth wider. Its due to the differences in pressure generated inside your mouth and the environment.
Hi Conor, You make so much sense. I’ve seen so many doctors and physiotherapist and so far they’re just making issues worse. I’m in Australia, are you in the USA ?
Огромное спасибо! Искал на русском языке но не как не нашел, но случайно наткнулся на этот видео, Оргмное спасибо от души ♥️ Thank you very much! I was looking for it in Russian but couldn't find it, but I accidentally came across this video. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart ♥️
Damn. I got neck and lower back pain sometimes, eventhough i am pretty active. Started changing my sleeping position and i deffinetely have this problem with my ribcage. I felt my ribcage open up on the back. Since i do a lot of cycling lately i feel like this will help me breath on the bike as well! Great vid!

I am 13 and I was anorexic at the age of 4 and I have physical anorexia trauma and I have rib flares . I workout since I am 11 and my genetics are very good . I am now 1.78 cm tall and 62-63kg in weight .
guys geuss what I just did these two exercices for the first time, and on top of releiving my lower back pain, it reduced, if I can say it that way, my rib flare a bit. Thanks a lot for this video
THANK YOU SO MUCH. After doing the exercises a few times it already looks much better. I will keep doing it to see if I can fully flatten it. Thank you for this video
This is actually insane. This is somethings ive hated and been insecure about my whole life… I try this once and they are practically unnoticeable now. Thank you, i will start practicing this everyday, This is some sorcery, my ribs went from portruding to sitting flat
This was awesomely insightful. It helped me understand that my tight pectoral muscles and weaker core were contributing to this, helping to emphasize some priorities for my own fitness goals.
Same here. I’ve been emphasizing on building my glutes, abs, back and stretching my pecs, shoulders and hip flexors and it sure did help to a point. But this exercise really relieved the tightness in my upper back for the first time in many many years. And the stretch just feels amazing!
Hi Huge thanks to you...i begun yesterday,and i aleready see the results.the rib still " forward " but got masked ( in the left side) by my muscle, glad to hope It wil disapear with time... Thanks again😊
I've had a little bit of Rib Flare. I've recently realised, this and a range of other issues ALL CAUSED by EXTREME ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT. It was so bad my sacram was horizontal to the ground creating a 90 degree angle in my lower spine...... Fixing that, fixed my Rib Flare.....
Holy crap, I honestly am really skeptical of shit like this. I'm a really big muscular dude and have definite rib flare which makes my pecs look smaller than they are. I just tried this exercise (which was surprisingly difficult because of my body type). I went and looked in the mirror after doing this for about 4 minutes and could visibly see that my ribs changed position. My back feels way more lose as well. Good shit man.
As I practice yoga, the child pose is very easy and comfy for me by just relaxing the rib cages on the thighs, sitting bottoms on heels and arms straight forward resting on floor. But my left rib cage flare never was corrected. I mean some body issues have to be coping attentively, purposefully of course. Appreciate all of these exercises.
I'm now 3 months into doing all these PRI expansion exercises. The ONLY time I can breathe normally and feel a true "360 breath" **without forcing it** is when I've done a TON of side ab and transverse ab work under HEAVY load. Think Farmer's Carries with heavy weights, dead bugs, planks, etc. If I hammer those muscles then later in the day there is enough resting tone to counteract the lower to upper back tightness. Just doing expansion exercises is a very temporary gain and certainly every single morning I'm back to square one since I sleep on my back and that means nothing but anterior expansion for 8 hours. My point is that subtle expansion exercises are the right direction but not the correct intensity in my 3 months' experience. I'll be confirming with my PRI trainer soon but I don't see any way forward except to just blast the side abs and transverse abs until they are built up sufficiently to counteract the much bigger back muscles.
I've noticed similar to this. It's strange then, that PRI are so adamantly against loading/insist on very gentle "techniques" as opposed to exercises (with load).
@@zaynmalice7106 Conor has a few more loaded things here and there but really nowhere near enough to call it a true hypertrophy or strength workout. Plus it's not set in a larger framework of a hypertrophic program. Weird that they don't make that leap. I'd buy that program from Conor but won't buy his existing ones because they're rehab/PT focused not muscle building.
Interesting, for me the PRI exercises, especially the basic 4 for L AIC work great, but to make it „stick“ I need heavy load for the obliques too, and exercises with slow reps and double compression breathing!
Thanks for this comment. This is what I've been wondering lately. My main problem is low back (QL possibly) tightness when I try to sleep. I think I'm getting the proper feeling of breathing during PRI exercises, but it's not enough to relax my back. Right now I'm trying to pay attention to breathing and posture when I think about it throughout the day as well as doing a lot of ab work. I've found side bends from a back extension bench make me very sore from my QL all the way to my abs, so I'm hopeful that will help.
I've had this my whole life, it's something I dispise. I've been having horrible thoughts lately, seeing how easy it is to just put work on it... Has given me hope for some reason. So when you go to bed tonight, remember you literally saved a life. Like.. Literally bruh... Thank you for a lifetime. Hope you succed
The picture shows not a rip flare, but a hollow-back. And I would think most people with forward lower rips has just a bad hollow-back posture, they should correct.
I’ve always had flared ribs & a small indent in the middle of my chest I don’t do a lot of physical activity & I weigh about 135 pounds. Idk if the lack of physical activity throughout my life has caused the rib flaring but I’m 25 now & I want to take action & become confident with my shirt off. It’s not a crazy rib flair but just enough that you can see it & I feel like it also makes me look skinnier than I really am.
Conor, I’m sure you know.. but you’re looking good man!! It’s funny I’m always so focused on taking in what you’re saying but today I just happened to notice those arms and shoulders!! *swooning* 👀😅❤️
This is the second video on rib flare (or third when you count the one on uneven rib flare). Are these exercises supposed to be better than the one on the previous video or are there situations where the "old one" is still recommended?
Maybe I don't understand who these types of exercises are appropriate for, but what do you mean by seeing immediate results? Could you post before/after pictures of someone with obvious rib flare to demonstrate what you mean? Personally, I tried the exercises, and although they are relaxing, there were no noticeable changes to my rib flare. In any case, how are a brief series of light breathing exercises supposed to counteract a persistent deformity of the ribcage? Isn't any permanent non-surgical fix (if one is even possible at all) going to be a matter of greatly improving strength and flexibility in the core and postural muscles?
You know, I tried simillar exerciese but with small ball not a pillow. And it didn't work. When I talk with physiotherapist he told me that you won't fix this type of deformity when you are old enough. Kids have... less dense bones (don't know how to explain this) and this might work... but for a full grown man, with much more dense / harder bones, not a chance. Training your back, abs and chest can help with rib flare becouse muscles will "pull" your bones so it might not be that visible... but other than surgery, you won't fix rib flare.
I had Ribflares since i was 10 years old and when i saw this vid and try it fot the first time i actually felt muscle movement and rib movements i felt a littel pain when doing the first exercise but i think its just the first time doing this im 19 yr old now and stil have them so im going to put this exercise in my gym routine and see if i actually see any difference but this exercise looks really good to try out thank you❤
hey im not a bot or and alt account, i actualy have this problem and i wanna do a 1 month comparison, ill do it everysingle day, i hope this works. ill come back in 20 november -edit- check reply
Thanks a lot. I have rib flare and it does make me feel uncomfortable, especially when I look at myself from the side. It makes me look like I have a big belly even though I am pretty lean I my abs are visible if I flex them. However, should I do these exercises everyday and are they going to fix my ribflare in the long term or just in the short term.
I only had left rib flare at first but when i tried to fix it the upper part of right ribs are popping out . Now its painful on the right side compared to the left. I'd be glad if i get the solution

Holy crap, I honestly am really skeptical of shit like this. I'm a really big muscular dude and have definite rib flare which makes my pecs look smaller than they are. I just tried this exercise (which was surprisingly difficult because of my body type). I went and looked in the mirror after doing this for about 4 minutes and could visibly see that my ribs changed position. My back feels way more lose as well. Good shit man.
I love that these are exercises you can do with like only a pillow
As I practice yoga, the child pose is very easy and comfy for me by just relaxing the rib cages on the thighs, sitting bottoms on heels and arms straight forward resting on floor. But my left rib cage flare never was corrected. I mean some body issues have to be coping attentively, purposefully of course. Appreciate all of these exercises.
Did anyone say yoga
Did you found anything useful after that?
um i had absolutely 0 faith in this… but then i got up and immediately saw a difference and i was like 😮damn. where did they go
Thank you Conor ❤
Genius. Thanks for this.
Literally instant results 🤯🤯🤯🤯
This worked immediately omg thank you
Love you bro now i will feel normal 😅😅❤
ive had these for my whole life and when i asked my parents they said it’s completely normal
it mostly is, unless it causes you issues
Hello Friend I will try these exercises and if I notice any change I will let you know
Édit: The first day there is a little noticeable change
HAH, WUT! I DID THE FIRST EXERCISE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND NOW MY RIBCAGE CAN SIT FLUSH IN MY BODY. Thank you.
may God Bless You!
I'm now 3 months into doing all these PRI expansion exercises. The ONLY time I can breathe normally and feel a true "360 breath" **without forcing it** is when I've done a TON of side ab and transverse ab work under HEAVY load. Think Farmer's Carries with heavy weights, dead bugs, planks, etc. If I hammer those muscles then later in the day there is enough resting tone to counteract the lower to upper back tightness. Just doing expansion exercises is a very temporary gain and certainly every single morning I'm back to square one since I sleep on my back and that means nothing but anterior expansion for 8 hours.
My point is that subtle expansion exercises are the right direction but not the correct intensity in my 3 months' experience. I'll be confirming with my PRI trainer soon but I don't see any way forward except to just blast the side abs and transverse abs until they are built up sufficiently to counteract the much bigger back muscles.
I've noticed similar to this. It's strange then, that PRI are so adamantly against loading/insist on very gentle "techniques" as opposed to exercises (with load).
@@zaynmalice7106 Conor has a few more loaded things here and there but really nowhere near enough to call it a true hypertrophy or strength workout. Plus it's not set in a larger framework of a hypertrophic program. Weird that they don't make that leap. I'd buy that program from Conor but won't buy his existing ones because they're rehab/PT focused not muscle building.
Interesting, for me the PRI exercises, especially the basic 4 for L AIC work great, but to make it „stick“ I need heavy load for the obliques too, and exercises with slow reps and double compression breathing!
Thanks for this comment. This is what I've been wondering lately. My main problem is low back (QL possibly) tightness when I try to sleep. I think I'm getting the proper feeling of breathing during PRI exercises, but it's not enough to relax my back.
Right now I'm trying to pay attention to breathing and posture when I think about it throughout the day as well as doing a lot of ab work. I've found side bends from a back extension bench make me very sore from my QL all the way to my abs, so I'm hopeful that will help.
just in time when i started suitcase deadlifts
they were some nice workouts. tnx❤❤❤❤❤
I've had this my whole life, it's something I dispise.
I've been having horrible thoughts lately, seeing how easy it is to just put work on it... Has given me hope for some reason. So when you go to bed tonight, remember you literally saved a life. Like.. Literally bruh... Thank you for a lifetime. Hope you succed
That's wild because I had specifically noticed rib flare this week
The picture shows not a rip flare, but a hollow-back. And I would think most people with forward lower rips has just a bad hollow-back posture, they should correct.
As in anterior pelvic tilt?
just started today, i will upload my results every week down here. good luck guys ♥️
wait for this
👀
Good luck
Update?
update?
I’ve always had flared ribs & a small indent in the middle of my chest I don’t do a lot of physical activity & I weigh about 135 pounds. Idk if the lack of physical activity throughout my life has caused the rib flaring but I’m 25 now & I want to take action & become confident with my shirt off. It’s not a crazy rib flair but just enough that you can see it & I feel like it also makes me look skinnier than I really am.
Is this a good approach for a T7 SCI? Great demonstration.
Thank you so much for this
You're so welcome!
Conor, I’m sure you know.. but you’re looking good man!! It’s funny I’m always so focused on taking in what you’re saying but today I just happened to notice those arms and shoulders!! *swooning* 👀😅❤️
How long will it take to see the results by doing this exercise?
my rib flare is fixed after doing the first exercise alone for 30 seconds ❤❤❤
Dude??? This works! How many time doing this for permannent effects?
This is the second video on rib flare (or third when you count the one on uneven rib flare). Are these exercises supposed to be better than the one on the previous video or are there situations where the "old one" is still recommended?
Maybe I don't understand who these types of exercises are appropriate for, but what do you mean by seeing immediate results? Could you post before/after pictures of someone with obvious rib flare to demonstrate what you mean? Personally, I tried the exercises, and although they are relaxing, there were no noticeable changes to my rib flare.
In any case, how are a brief series of light breathing exercises supposed to counteract a persistent deformity of the ribcage? Isn't any permanent non-surgical fix (if one is even possible at all) going to be a matter of greatly improving strength and flexibility in the core and postural muscles?
You know, I tried simillar exerciese but with small ball not a pillow. And it didn't work. When I talk with physiotherapist he told me that you won't fix this type of deformity when you are old enough. Kids have... less dense bones (don't know how to explain this) and this might work... but for a full grown man, with much more dense / harder bones, not a chance. Training your back, abs and chest can help with rib flare becouse muscles will "pull" your bones so it might not be that visible... but other than surgery, you won't fix rib flare.
I tried it rn and it didn’t fix the rib flare completely but it made them protrude less
I tied a belt tightly around the flair for a few days, then used deep breething to expand upper ribs.
Regardless of anything else this makes my diaphragm comfortable
Bro, thanks so much. I just did it and my rib flare just disappeared.
I want Conor to say "yellow pillow" :D Love the content and enjoying the self-paced biomechanics course. Thank you!
How long to see changes
This man deserves to be a famous doctor
Thank you a lot.
I had Ribflares since i was 10 years old and when i saw this vid and try it fot the first time i actually felt muscle movement and rib movements i felt a littel pain when doing the first exercise but i think its just the first time doing this im 19 yr old now and stil have them so im going to put this exercise in my gym routine and see if i actually see any difference but this exercise looks really good to try out thank you❤

@@joshuamotuma9753 i think you might be doing the exercises wrong, do you see immediate results after doing these?
@@joshuamotuma9753 how did it go?
@@joshuamotuma9753 So how's it going? Is it helping?
Thanks a lot. I have rib flare and it does make me feel uncomfortable, especially when I look at myself from the side. It makes me look like I have a big belly even though I am pretty lean I my abs are visible if I flex them. However, should I do these exercises everyday and are they going to fix my ribflare in the long term or just in the short term.
the worst thing about my pectus isn't even the hole, it's the ribflare because it makes it so much more visible
I only had left rib flare at first but when i tried to fix it the upper part of right ribs are popping out . Now its painful on the right side compared to the left. I'd be glad if i get the solution
I really can't follow the instructions as I find them quite unclear, beginning from the positioning of the hands in the standing part
