Thank you so much for this after 3 years in bad rib pain I am finally turning a corner it worked so well I'm trying it on my Back.

Thank you for this! I've recently increased my workout routine quite a bit and started feeling rib pain! It confused me, I was a dancer for 20 years but never felt soreness in that area. It hasn't gone away for almost 2 weeks now so I hope this will help.

It's good always got 3 or 4 rolls of the tape as I do karate so always breaking either a fingers toes ribs hands and this tape works so well to hold everything together

Hi, could you please post a video for the front part of the ribs just below the chest? Thanks

[puneethahr]

Oh thank you so much for this video. I have had major traumatic car accident beginning of 2020 and my thoracic, cervical spine still hurts every day with prolonged sitting, standing or just being there. And with increase in any activity chest (sternum and below left breast) hurts with every breathe, sneeze and cough also as simple as walking or even talking on certain days. My physiotherapist thinks it might be costochondritis after noticing tenderness around my ribs and few other symptoms. How different is intercostal muscle injury to costochondritis and will this KT help. I am desperately looking every possible ways for any help at this point.

Will you do a video on using the tape for people with costochondritis?

[mexicanlowcarb]

I have chronic pain in that & more in the lower area, X rays are fine every test comes back fine, but I’m in such pain I can’t sleep, or sit back because it’s tender to touch! Will these tapes help ease pain?

Appreciate it, might have to try this on my own rib

I’ve got scarred intercostals in the back from breathing issues via Costochondritis. How do I loosen those rear intercostals particularly 10-12 ribs permanently? I get partial relief pinching and smoothing out the fascia there. Please help. Thanks

What's the best way to self apply?

[evitapetita]

I have this injury since last Saturday when I was doing crossfit training. I guess It was caused by lots of pull ups and also climb the rope which I did. At the moment I have an appointment on Monday with the physiotherapist but I keep going my training without doing any upper-body exercises. If I feel any little pain I do not keep going anyway because I don't wanna hurt myself. Hence, The pain is getting better but I don't really know how long is gonna take this.... Could u help me to sort out my doubt please? Thank u so much and thank for sharing this kind of videos, they are really useful for us.

I had a torn intercostal. It was the worst pain I have ever had. It was like someone stabbing you every breath. At night it was the worst

[jeanine]

I’m still recovering from a pneumonia and I’m still coughing a lot because of it. Which lead to severe rib pain.. it’s now the 3rd time the rib areas hurt like hell. Now I can barely move and when I cough it feels like I’m being stabbed 😖 is taping the area an option for this pain??

[theurbanhippies]

I fractured 7 ribs 8 months ago. The ribs have joined but there is extreme tightness ( like a tight band) where the ribs broke. This tightness changes into soreness if I walk around s lot. Possibly a muscle issue? Could it be damaged scar tissue? Would a ks tape help?

[mechanicumar]

thank you very much doctor sir got treated

[udayasreebommasani]

I have thoracic spine pain and pain in the rib cage. Spine is in degenerative stage. Tinnitus too. Please advice what will help me

Great video, John. Would you have some words of advice concerning intercostal muscles pain (after broken rib, torn muscles, and torn cartilage between the sternum and the last ribs)? It would help me know how to use Kinesio taping. Thanks for your help. Greetings from France.
