What Is Rib Flare? Watch To Learn How To Fix (Part 1 of 2)

Rib flare is not a death sentence but it is something we want to address if we are having issues such as pain or decreased performance.

The goal should be a dynamic ribcage meaning the ribcage can change shapes depending on the task we are asked to complete. We need to be able to compress and expand different parts of the ribcage.

When we have a rib flare, air will take the path of least resistance. This is why we preach the basics so much.

Simply learning to inhale and exhale fully is a game-changer. Start with the simple tips described in the video.

For a more severe rib flare, we recommend an individualized program. You can learn more about working directly with us here

This happens when your stomach and organs around there are expanded. Think about food intake that your stomach has trouble with processing and then wants to expand for more ease, but also emotional processing issues. Why you think breathing is the core of health. You're probably not breathing right due to stress or stored emotions that needs to be released. Do breathing exercises on a daily basis, its so important l. Also during workouts, breathe right, follow the instructions! You'll realise how often you actually hold ur breath due to maybe being nervous, under pressure etc. I really learned this throughout my life and experiences with improving my health from different angles. Good luck!

the animation made me realize I have been breathing on the wrong side of my lungs and flaring my ribs on one side. Thank you very much!

I was born with a lot of issues and a facial deformity. One thing I noticed as a kid was that my ribs didn’t look right and one side was up and outward compared to the other. When I brought it up to my parents and my doctors they just said “hmm that’s strange” and moved on to the 100 other things we were worried about lol. I’m 27 now and just now discovered what it’s called, thank you.

Now I know why my posture looks like that (like an S shape) and why I can't correct it and why my lower back is arched and why I don't want to do traditional ABS training, and why my lower back feels tight after some time on legs, and are close to the pain and I want to lay down until it releases🧐
I signed up for Elite Video Membership 3 weeks ago and after trying out some classes I ended up at class "TVA train" and doing it every day for a good reason 💪🏼
I can't find one video where I saw some beautiful graphics and explanations about ribcage and how it affects shoulders, which is one more of my problems 😏I thought it was from Ian, but the idea is the same as here ... Thank You 🙏🏼

[bigchickenlegbis]

Lowkey thought this wouldn’t work but it did

This has made breathing really hard. I got sick for a year and lots tonnes of muscle especially core and glutes. I get out of breath fast because of the flare.
