This video was extremely helpful. I didn't end up doing the exercises, but just the fact that you made me conscious that my back was supposed to be moving when I breath made a massive difference in my quality of life. I've had a hard time breathing for most of my life and the additional mobility in my diaphragm has made all the difference. Thank you.

I tried finding vids on how to fix this a couple years ago and there was maybe 2 with completely different exercises that didn’t work for me. I’m so glad there’s a lot of videos on this now with new exercises for me to try
I have rib flare, but I have great mobility and I breathe well too. I even used to run middle distance (400m and 5000m) in highschool and played football (soccer) and I've never experienced any trouble with breathing
holy crap, after doing that exercise for 5 minutes my ribs already feel way different, I had/have major rib flare since I'm tall with asthma, and am huffing and panting, and just doing it for a few minutes has done wonders, I'm gonna keep doing it and leave updates
Very interesting, I also have a similar issue and it's exciting to hear that it has helped you out. I'm gonna try this out tomorrow and see how much it changes my rib flare
Thank you so much. I started with a pinch on my sciatic nerve that's has only traveled and now my rib cage full of tension and stiffness very concerning when I raise my arms and feel pain. But this helps a lot

had pectus when I was young but got surgery. As an adult I hit the gym hard and look great but still have a bit of rib flare and this video helped alot
Hi, I was so happy to find this video. I knew what I was looking for and went after it. I also knew about working this way, but forgot. Since my lower back has kind of collapsed (very, very little curve but totally pain free because I work faithfully on my alignment and strength), I was over using the lumbar above the lumbar-sacral and flaring my ribs. Watching today's women (girl) gymnasts with their flared ribs drove me crazy, and I remembered the technique, and started working on unflaring my ribs. Results: much deeper engagement in the lower five (=greater strength and positioning), and a great deal more endurance!! I hadn't thought of the inhale/exhale factor until this video mentioned it. Thank you very much. I will look you up further.
Hello, Conor. I just watched your video about fixing the Pectus Excavatum, and then saw this video on the side. The title is "How To Fix Rib Flare", but you went directly to the breathing exercise against the wall without going in to detail of what you were accomplishing. You have your assistant sitting against the wall, legs bent, knees not flared out. Then you have him reach his right hand out and blow into the balloon (then straw, then lying on his side). 1. For the rib flare, was this for the left or right side flare? 2. You have him extending his right hand out. Does it matter which side for the right or left rib flare? 3. How often should this be done? In the Pectus video, you stated to do the exercises twice in the am, twice in the pm, probably not more than 4 times a day. Thank you, Conor, Marc
Very, very interesting stuff. Never had a physio connect any of this things together (shoulder mobility, flare), and yet have been given countless exercises that didnt address the issues.
Conor, thank you. I have been concentrating just on getting a full exhale, then pausing... as I walk or sit... and I find it re-orients my pelvis, my shoulders naturallyrelax, my head is better balanced on top of my spine...all those good things simply from exhaling! So much easier than trying to "stand up straight ". Also relieves lower back pain that I have been blaming on scoliosis. Thanks again! I'm going to look into your Body Restoration course.
what I learnt in the last few years: Bone Structure (or at least what people refer to) is not set and fix by genetics it's plastic and it's molded by habits and actions as you grow up and it can always be reversed and fixed if you happen to make bad decisions like choosing to mouth breath or slouching
That first exercise along with doing it hands up for tight psoas is no joke! I cramped up so bad today at the gym I was rolling around on the ground like I got stabbed
Hi Conor. You always say not to flex the abs when exhaling but instead let the side abs and deeper abs to contract. My problem is that no matter what I do, my lower abs contract on the exhale and I never feel the side abs. I noticed that all of the breathing exercises (and I tried many in different positions) make me eventually feel worse, mostly due to the lower abs cramping like crazy. Any ideas how I could "override" such a response? I really appreciate your content. I've been following your programs for APT and left AIC for over 6 month already. Unfortunately, it made all my conditions worse and experience more pain than ever. I blame it on me not performing the exercises properly, especially when it comes to breathing. But I just don't know how I can "make" my body exhale properly.
I hear you man this is not uncommon to struggle to feel the proper abs. Starting in a side plank positions will usually work quite well for this issue: There a variety of positions that can give you no choice but to feel them. Like this: ruclips.net/video/9CDGGxnzpWg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/eg6wx4TX9Z8/видео.html If that doesn’t work, it’s not an oblique problem, it’s probably a stacking problem. I would focus on stacking mechanics (ruclips.net/video/GekRvpmaJkI/видео.html) better and doing exercises like this where you don’t have the opportunity to “crunch” with your lower abs as much: ruclips.net/video/ddLRWZOUjJ0I/видео.html I would likely also avoid cueing a tuck with you initially most likely. Just learn how to breathe *softly* for about 5 seconds or until you feel some abs starting to kick on, but not too much. Then gentle, silent nasal inhalation for 5 seconds.
I have a slight anterior tilt but i also have a lower right shoulder and yes rounded shoulders and forward head a bit. I also tend to collapse on my right leg alot more when i try to just let my body rest. I also am having issues like im falling forwards also like my heels come off the ground.' I lack internal rotation shoulder more on right arm like sometimes barely have 20 degrees and my left arm has alot more but still should have more degrees. My shoulder flexion better on right worse on left. Good external rotation both arms. Abduction not good on right better on left. my hip flexion is good on my left but on my right it gets stuck at hip level and i cant move it anymore. my straight leg test is better on my left then my right. better internal on right then left my left is bad less than 15 degrees. good external on both legs. i fail the obers test I also have alot higher arch on my right foot then my left like the arch is longer and a bit higher it makes me stand on the outer part of my right foot. I cant get a Pri apointment until february as thats the only avaible one i can get which is awhile from now. Im suspecting i have a left aic right bc pec pattern I also suspect anterior pelvic tilt or maybe even lateral pelvic tilt but I dont know what to do for all these months because I need to take action but i also dont want it to get worse. I am 19 ive been dealing with pain since highschool which ruined my athletic career and im trying to get it all back. I played baseball and basketball and i was getting interested in track also. Should i just continue doing the left aic and pec pattern and uneven shoulder exercises because i feel like i fit them but i dont want to be doing everything in a way that will hurt me instead of help me. So basicallly i have tight shoulders, a lower right shoulder, slight winging of right shoulderblade, i collapse sideways on my right outside foot. I also feel alot of fatigue in my core hamstrings and glutes its very annoying. I went to physical therpay like 5 times before i even knew what PRI was. i been studying intesely for 2 months now through neal halinan, zac cupples, and mostly conor harris but what should i do in the meantime?
Check Neal's video for home made shoe wedges, your right foot forgot here is a ground, that's why you stand on outside of your right foot and it makes your system messed up. (your need to feel right arch for proper movement) this should make you neutral. And once you neutral techniques will work properly. m.ruclips.net/video/KYJgtVyRPSs/видео.html
@@masonmalaguti3463 interesting. I too have a lower right shoulder which i thought stemmed from maybe uneven hips? I also noticed i stand on my right leg much more than the left now that im conscious of it. Can you sugggest a video for the shoulder exercises?
@@jordypord conor Harris has videos for the shoulders one is called "uneven shoulders" the other is called "right bc pattern". There is also a guy named Neal hallinan or Zac cupples and you can type uneven shoulder next to their name and it will pop up with videos for it these guys are very intelligent.
I thought that was a normal thing since I had it all my life. I never assumed it could be effecting my posture or breathing. I actually didn't know I had breathing problems until I was injured at work then I was with back issues and sciatica issues. I will mention this to my chiropractor next time but this looks more like a physical therapy thing. I'm going to look into this more because I thought it was just an overlapping rib the whole time. I also need a decompression soon because I have a small torso and a degenerate disc in my lower back.
Thank you for this video. I am trying to find help for my teenage son who has pectus excavatum and sometimes struggles with breathing pain / chest pain. He has been checked to rule out asthma and heart defect. He may have a hiatal hernia, but if so, it wasn't detectable on endoscopy. He is a fit, active young man. Do you have recommendations for pectus excavatum and the skeletal / postural struggles that come with it?
Ok, so a few questions: 1. Is any 1 of these exercises "better" than the other? I don't have access to balloons as easily as I have to straws. 2. If I extend my right arm, am I the fixing rib-flare only for my left ribcage, or is it "fixing" both sides. 3. How many/often should I be doing this exercise? Also, at what times should I be doing this? And finally, 4. Who invented/figured out this solution? Like, did somebody look at their flared ribcage and think, "Huh, I wonder what would happen if I sat in this particular position at this wall, breathing into this balloon/straw in a regulated way, ad miraculously fix my flared ribs..."
I can awnser some of these. Study’s show the LOWER ribcages shape can be altered through movement such as breathing as it takes the shape the muscles make it. The study talks about multiple joint like points on the ribcage that allow it to be shaped. The one thing in common all of these legit rib-flair solution videos have is altering the shape of the LOWER ribcage through repetitive breathing exercises and changing the ribcages position in space due to relaxing muscles. The overall solution is relaxing muscles, fixing breathing, strengthening certain muscles. How often I’m positive at least 2x a day to see change and preferably 1 in the morning so it sets the breathing for the rest of the day(heard this form pt dunno how true but makes sense). I believe he said the balloon exercise is better a higher difficulty then the straw so if u can do the balloon over straw do it.
Hi Connor! Could you make a video about exercises to help with fixing pectus carinatum? My rib flare is caused by it, rather than by the ribs themselves. My sternum sticks out like a pyramid peak. There’s really a lack of ressources about this. Thanks !
No exercise will change your sternum shape from outwards to inwards you need an outside force such as a brace. I recemend getting a pectus brace/rube flare brace 2 in one of your bones have not ossified
When I was still 17 I made my own brace for pectus carinatum. I wore it for 24hrs for 6 months, then just wore it 8hrs a day afterwards. It fixed my chest significantly.
@@2ltremo164 yeah looking back this is what I should have done instead of spending 1.5k on a brace that the doctors barely even guided me with. No joke they said wear it as much as you can until your happy😂
Hey Conor! Thanks so much - question Should breathing into the back of the rib cage hurt when your ribs have been flared? I’m feeling like I have almost like bruising and aches. And second is - is this whole thing is possibly caused by an anterior tilt? Your courses there’s a basic fundamentals for posture and an anterior tilt course - which is recommended
Same i feel like im bruised since doing these things, especially in the back and on the sides. Maybe using muscles we arent used to ? Im not exactly feeling more flexible yet 😂 it hurts and im even more stiff now. Best keep going 😅
When you have one arm forward, and you say we should peel away from the wall, are we pulling with the forward arm, keeping the upper arm still all the way in the socket, and just pulling forward so that the upper back is peeled away from the wall? Or are you twisting? Or are you pulling that arm a little out of its socket?
Since I’m a kid I have been thinking about this thing. When I lay down *on my body* I feel one of my ribs touch the bed I feel like the bone is touching the bed, same if I put my hand on that place.. the question that I’ve always had is, is it dangerous? ( also at first I thought that it was cause I was skinny, but i took a lot of Weight + muscle and still get that feeling when I lay down or touch it with my hand.
I have major rib flare with little fat pads protecting my flared ribs in the front, but if you assessed me with those tests you showed you would see my hypermobility not my true issue. How can I tell how bad it is and how can I tell how much improvement I can make? I'm working on rib flare and APT as well as gait.
Hi Connor, good afternoon I have a very big rib flare with my right lower rib protruding a lot foreward and in the shape of a ping pong ball Is it possible to solve more radical cases like mine with your technique?
I only have rib flare on my left. It's because I use my mouse with right hand and test on the desk with left elbow. This, plus many years have made my rib grow outward. It is not symmetrical. There is no amount of therapy that will fix that since I started doing that as a young boy and still work at an office today. My spine is at least straight.

I can awnser some of these. Study’s show the LOWER ribcages shape can be altered through movement such as breathing as it takes the shape the muscles make it. The study talks about multiple joint like points on the ribcage that allow it to be shaped. The one thing in common all of these legit rib-flair solution videos have is altering the shape of the LOWER ribcage through repetitive breathing exercises and changing the ribcages position in space due to relaxing muscles. The overall solution is relaxing muscles, fixing breathing, strengthening certain muscles.
How often I’m positive at least 2x a day to see change and preferably 1 in the morning so it sets the breathing for the rest of the day(heard this form pt dunno how true but makes sense).
I believe he said the balloon exercise is better a higher difficulty then the straw so if u can do the balloon over straw do it.
Hi Connor! Could you make a video about exercises to help with fixing pectus carinatum? My rib flare is caused by it, rather than by the ribs themselves. My sternum sticks out like a pyramid peak. There’s really a lack of ressources about this. Thanks !
I thought that was genetic and couldn’t be fixed? My friend has that. I’m curious. It might depend how bad it is.
No exercise will change your sternum shape from outwards to inwards you need an outside force such as a brace. I recemend getting a pectus brace/rube flare brace 2 in one of your bones have not ossified
When I was still 17 I made my own brace for pectus carinatum. I wore it for 24hrs for 6 months, then just wore it 8hrs a day afterwards. It fixed my chest significantly.
@@2ltremo164 yeah looking back this is what I should have done instead of spending 1.5k on a brace that the doctors barely even guided me with. No joke they said wear it as much as you can until your happy😂
@@2ltremo164 yeah getting a bracing through a doctor Is the biggest money grab. Do you have rib flare as a result of bracing just the sternum?
now this is some good video
Well, I guess I'll fuck off to the supermarket again now at almost midnight and buy a damn balloon
Finally ❤❤❤❤
Hey Conor! Thanks so much - question
Should breathing into the back of the rib cage hurt when your ribs have been flared? I’m feeling like I have almost like bruising and aches.
And second is - is this whole thing is possibly caused by an anterior tilt? Your courses there’s a basic fundamentals for posture and an anterior tilt course - which is recommended
Same i feel like im bruised since doing these things, especially in the back and on the sides. Maybe using muscles we arent used to ? Im not exactly feeling more flexible yet 😂 it hurts and im even more stiff now. Best keep going 😅
Aka Dr.Mike is the poster child for this and refuses to acknowledge it’s from constant extension in his training
Bro, I’m so glad I found this, I thought I there was something seriously wrong with me lol😂
for how long should i be doing this and like for how many sets and reps??
3 Sets 10-15 reps
Please what kind of chair should I buy? Anterior tilt issue
Should it be done with left reach as well?
Thanks for this! What about single sided rib flare? My left ribs flare but my right ribs are not.
When you have one arm forward, and you say we should peel away from the wall, are we pulling with the forward arm, keeping the upper arm still all the way in the socket, and just pulling forward so that the upper back is peeled away from the wall? Or are you twisting? Or are you pulling that arm a little out of its socket?
How many minutes a day i have to do this?
You always seem to post the videos that apply to me lol.. I’m very great full because I’ve been seeking answers for many years
Honzo, ty tvý rady neomrzí :D
Každopádně tohle nebude tvůj problém :D
Tuším, že jsi svoje žebra po kůží už léta neviděl :D :D Fun fact!!!
Hey Conor! What to do about only left rib flare?
Yes, this interests me too.
Reaching with right arm will help this. Also look at my Right BC video and exercises
should I be doing this exercise daily, or how often would you recommend doing this exercise?
Any excersise to fix pectus carinatum?
надо надувать шарик и дуть в трубку в этом положении и грудная клетка перестанет выпирать ?
Спасибо большое, обязательно попробую!
Great info
which arm should i reach forward？ my left rib is much more flared. thx！
Since I’m a kid I have been thinking about this thing. When I lay down *on my body* I feel one of my ribs touch the bed I feel like the bone is touching the bed, same if I put my hand on that place.. the question that I’ve always had is, is it dangerous?
( also at first I thought that it was cause I was skinny, but i took a lot of Weight + muscle and still get that feeling when I lay down or touch it with my hand.
I have major rib flare with little fat pads protecting my flared ribs in the front, but if you assessed me with those tests you showed you would see my hypermobility not my true issue. How can I tell how bad it is and how can I tell how much improvement I can make? I'm working on rib flare and APT as well as gait.
Sterling needs this
Conor, what causes the limitation in shoulder external rotation and flexion?
Great content btw
Hi Connor, good afternoon
I have a very big rib flare with my right lower rib protruding a lot foreward and in the shape of a ping pong ball
Is it possible to solve more radical cases like mine with your technique?
How often a day would you recommend doing this?
This worked instantly
How to fix rib flare: Have a dad bod
Dose it actually help because my rib flare causes breathing problems I can't care less about looks
Brilliant!!
What about pectus evacuatum ?
the peeling away from the wall is through the ribs in the back expanding and pushing us forward right?
Does it cause the lower belly to protrude? And does doing the vacuum help?
I only have rib flare on my left. It's because I use my mouse with right hand and test on the desk with left elbow. This, plus many years have made my rib grow outward. It is not symmetrical. There is no amount of therapy that will fix that since I started doing that as a young boy and still work at an office today.
My spine is at least straight.
thx so much bro
I have left side rib flare I think it caused me to not breathe correctly as you are supposed to . I also think it makes me more prone to anxiety
You you give me full week exercise routine for pectus excavatum
How does it take to get completely rid of the rib flare?
The thing i hate about it is that it makes my chest lower than my lower body which makes me look goofy, so if i fix the rib flare would thay help?
Scoliosis
can you make a video on this with hindi captions please?😢
for my rib flare i have good poster, but the actual bones of my ribs flare out at the bottom, and i have pectus excavatum, how would i fix this?
Does this help with pectus escavatum pain?
Thanks for The content, Connor!!
Would you cue something differente for a narrow isa? I fell so much superior rectus abdominal when performing that
Depending on the Narrow I might use a prone position with a less forceful inhale
@@conorharris inhale? Or exhale?
@@glgbarney7597 what…
