How To Fix Rib Flare | The Overextended Athlete

[@ohmycal]

After a couple days rolling those muscles out my left flare flattened out. I almost cried. It's amazing. All of a sudden my entire left side seemed to activate. Left abs, chest. So thankful!

k but do other girls have this too bc i have it and it makes me really self conscious and i’m scrolling through the comments and i only see dudes and i just wanna know i’m not the only girl struggling w this problem

[@Greazygrace]

I have this and I struggle with body image issues somewhat...I’m gonna try this and see what happens :) I’m a 20 yr old female so don’t feel bad ! I always get told I have a cute petite frame but my flared ribs are bigger than my b cup boobies lol. Don’t let it get to you! Try to fix the problem and see how YOU can change it with some work :) much love xoxo

[@xxdearvalentinaxx]

20 year old girl here! I always knew that something about my abdomen looked off but didn’t realize it was rib flare until I started looking into perfecting my posture. Don’t stress too much about it, fix it until you feel happy with it because other people don’t really notice otherwise!

[@ellie-pt7mg]

im a girl as well & i have this too :((( i’ve been so insecure abt it for awhile because my boobs hardly go past my ribs lolol! gonna try this video and see if it changes anything

[@amandajones617]

20 almost 21 year old girl here! Just came across this video and I'm fairly sure I have pretty bad rib flare. My posture sucks and my ribs stick out almost as far as my boobs (I'm a 32DDD so you can imagine I don't like it). I also constantly have lower back pain so hopefully this helps! I'll let you know how it goes!

[@janterri3539]

Actually I can’t really tell if I have rib flare or if I’m just skinny?

[@demonetization6596]

You know what I will try this ,I had this since birth,it makes me look fat because my rib cage's bottom few bones is more outwards then my chest itself and I'm a fit person ,then when I put on a shirt it looks like a have a big belly,I had this for years and only now at 14 ,I start feeling self conscious,I searched uneven rib cage and found this video ,I will try this method ,if it works I will come back here to say my results (Edit 1)3 months it worked ,the rib flare is not gone completely but it’s way less noticeable,your abs and chest start to become noticeable,thank you for this video (Edit 2) 2 Years, it cannot completely disappear unless you fix your posture as well. My back doesn’t slouch my back goes the other way so the weight rest somewhere around the area where the spine meets the waist. It contributed to my rib flare. With a correct posture and this exercise it will work a lot better.

How long did you do them for

[@AnoAno777]

2 weeks and I already fell a difference. I combined these excercises with excercises in the gym aswell, most important muscle to train are your obliques. They keep the ribs in check for the most part.

The foam rolling was intense for me, though once I healed I didn’t have that problem and could enjoy this great feeling, also I sit in a chair a lot because of my job and these exercises help with my back pain too. Thanks

[@snoopeas]

hi, thought id share my story real quick in case anyone can relate/needs motivation. tbh ive done like none of the exercises done in this video and im sure they work but im gonna b talking from my experience- just found the most viewed vid w rib flare to comment on. Okay so i'm a teenage girl (wont disclose age) and have pretty bad ribflare. im assuming it stemmed from walk around sucking in my stomach all the time when i was younger, bad posture, and breathing through my lungs. i found out what rib flare was in like january this year (2022) and realised that i had it, and not just 'sticky out ribs' .i scoured the internet trying to find stuff to fix it for weeks, and was really inconsistent with any exercises and got really put off by the fact most results are temporary to some degree. i saw multiple videos on diaphragm/belly breathing, and realised ive been breathing through my lungs my whole life. i started doing it, which was hard at first and i only did it when i remembered to if that makes sense. i didnt really expect results from it, as it was hard to believe my breathing alone could help it. but, like 6 months in i can see improvement despite me not actively doing anything else to help it, my rib flare is reduced. id like to add there was a period of time where i used to do a stomach vacuum type of thing throughout various parts of the day (idk how to explain it but like pushing your ribs down and the air out) which may have aided it but after like a month i stopped doing it. but i just wanna say you may be like extremely insecure about this but i guarantee its more common than you think. i never really noticed it but a lot of people i know have it to some degree and at the end of the day most people dont really care despite my rib flare ive had my figure complimented many times my friends and rib flare does not define you nor the way your body looks. wishing you all the best on trying to reduce/fix it, or embrace it.

[@official.devinnn]

This just helped me figure out why my back hurts all the time also💀

[@nikkimacbride7982]

SAME!

[@sweetiepie648]

(I’m 14 btw) My rib flare was not too bad...but it was gonna get worse. So I worked out on butt and abs the most. And did some breathing exercises. IT TAKES TIME!!! Don’t give up! I worked on my rib flare from May to July and now my ribs finally went down! It’s August and I’m so so happy!!! But I think the thing that helped me the most was breathing right!

[@MelikaF0101]

Pls answer...I have rib flare and these exercises helped my ribs to go down a few centimeters which I think is pretty much. I wanna know if after I stop doing them will the flare come back and where did you find about proper breathing is it really that important?

[@sweetiepie648]

M F yes! The breathing is very important! Idk where I saw the video but all I’ve done was when I was breathing in, I breathed in with my stomach out and then exhale with the stomach in. You want to put one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach and make sure you are feeling your stomach go up and down and not your ribs doing that. But mainly exercising your core really helps too. I did at least one minute of planks everyday. Thx and tell me what happens after! 😇

[@sweetiepie648]

M F oh yea you have to lay down when your breathing

[@sweetiepie648]

M F the only way your ribs can go back down is if you start breathing wrong again

[@sweetiepie648]

M F but yes do some breathing exercises and it will help the most

[@irishhound999]

I work out really hard and very often and I still had rib flare. This evening I did 4 different exercises. The roles in this video, side planks, wood choppers, hanging knee raises. I saw some small changes right away when I went to bed today. I also stopped sucking my gut in. I was a heavy kid for years so I always sucked my belly in. As an adult now I have strong middle abs but big holes on the sides. I have learned to be myself and stop making myself hate my core by always sucking in.

i doubt you still read the comments on this video but if you do i just want to say thank you. sadly i think my rib flare might be genetic but even so after just a few days i'm already seeing a big difference. for years i never thought that my rib flare could be and have always been discouraged. ive been working out and weightlifting for a few years now and have always been disappointed by my abs not looking quite right. so for anyone else wondering if this works, the answers yes.

[@rubles3143]

And I doubt you'll see the reply to your comment, but even if you are stuck with it due to genetics, keep working on it to get it as reduced as possible! And even if it's still pronounced, it's really not that bad looking, nobody will judge you especially since you worked to reduce it.

[@frogzumwalt5827]

I literally can't stand against a wall with my lower back touching it. So glad I found this video. Also if you have rib flare go to a chiropractor because chances are you pelvis is out of alignment as well.

[@BKitt11]

The point of all these is to align the pelvis. Chiropractor can align it, but it won't stay unless you fix the muscle imbalances/deficiencies that cause it to become unaligned.

[@PokeymanTrainer]

I never knew my ab flare made me over extend my back. I was always conscious of it whenever I did shoulder press or overhead press but I figured it was just bad form that I had to get over. Thanks so much for making this video!

[@dannymoyseh4835]

With so many people in the comments seeming to have a similar problem what i would suggest after somewhat beginning to fix my rib flare is keeping your core engaged in almost all work outs that you do. No matter if its dumbell curls or squats i keep my core somewhat engaged. Its may be problematic when you begin but the more and more you do it the easier it becomes as goes for most things. Hope I helped someone.

[@ellieb8627]

How do you keep it engaged? Just try to squeeze your core? Sorry I onow nothing about working out haha

Left rib has been flared ever since I was a kid and I’m 21 now, always been self conscious about. About a year and a half ago I began to develop upper back pain between the spine and left shoulder blade but never really did anything about it due to not really knowing the cause. Just tried the arm raise and I can really feel it in my back, especially where the pain has been, and I had to really push my lower back for it to touch the wall. Makes me think this will work. I’ll do all 3 of these and let you guys know if I have any progress. Some other videos talk about breathing excises to do as well. I’ve been trying to go the gym but my left arm is a little weaker than my right and I assume its because of this. Hopefully I can start going back if this works

I’d say I’m pretty athletic, I Swim competitively for my school, I run distance track and XC for my school, I lift weights. But I also have a rib flair, and for a long time I thought it was just a genetic thing (even though no one else in my family has it). So I watched this and tried the exercises. I only have a 100% foam roller, and I think it’s not strong enough to really penetrate my back muscles so I’ll be getting a harder one soon. I tried the plank and it wasn’t too bad. But the arm lifts, holy cow we’re those hard. I tried them sitting down and I couldn’t believe how hard they actually were to do without my back arching. I regarded myself as very athletic and strong, and I can’t even properly lift my arms above my head lol! I’ll update this in a week or two when I see results. Thanks for the video!!

This is so interesting! My ribs have been flared as long as I remember! I've never had a dr. mention any deformaties, so I wonder if this might be my issue. I will ask my Dr. to verify next time I'm there. I have a roller that I will get on sometimes and roll whatever feels good. It feels awkward to roll my sides, but I always feel more relaxed after doing so. 🧐 Edited to add: I also have the problem with hunched shoulders and a hump just below my neck from forward head posture. The exercises you did against the wall are very similar to ones I've learned to fix that. Are the flared ribs and forward head posture related?

[@phurian_6560]

Back in highschool I was talking to a girl that I liked, she was cool with me and then I had to stretch and she was like "Ooo why yo ribby thing poke out like that"

[@thiswebsiteusescookies.lea1525]

😔

[@jay-lh5cr]

same kinda, everytime im with my girlfriend i have to keep flexing my abs and hold it so she cant see them poke out

[@swarmy9459]

Thank you brother I will try this. A lot of my friends tell me I got a good physique but rib cage is what bothers me the most. Some people can’t really tell but I just know something is not right with it

I left my rib flare untreated for years which eventually made it so I couldn't walk. This video is giving me some hope.

I will be following these steps for the next 2 weeks and will report back with if it works for me or not.

[@stayfocused6481]

Something to note, I’ve had flared ribs as long as I can remember. I have no idea if it’s genetic. I’ve never been fit, so it could be due to either.

[@fandombeacon3382]

I really hope this works for me. I have flared ribs and it looks terrible. I don't want to get surgery for it either.

[@BKitt11]

DO NOT get surgery for something like that! You will end up with a host of other issues.

[@TwinSquidzLLC]

Brendan Kittredge is getting the surgery a big risk?

[@Bbbygrrl_]

Joxiel Romero heck yea its your ribs after all, they would have to break your ribs to "correct the issue"

[@TwinSquidzLLC]

Baby Girl damn! That’s doesn’t sound good at all!

[@Bbbygrrl_]

Joxiel Romero yea its not even a surgery docs normally do, youd have to search forever to find one who will actually do it bc its that risky as far as i know

[@ImmuneToKnives]

Thank you for this. I had surgery to correct my pectus excavatum about 10 months ago. My chest is somewhat fixed, but I do have a slight rib flare. I'll definitely try these! thanks!

[@janoahruiz]

yo how much did it cost

[@janoahruiz]

+Janoah Ruiz @cooldad

[@ImmuneToKnives]

Janoah Ruiz I had insurance so they covered a portion of it. I had to pay about a total of $1,800 ($100 a month) to the anesthesia doctors and hospital, but then I found out my insurance didnt want to pay the $8,400 of their share because I needed to have proof that I NEEDED the surgery. My pectus wasnt life threatening so it was hard getting proof. It sure did have effect on my social life though. So in the end, it was worth it.

[@zinho223]

I have the same problem, will you ulpload? +Naks

[@benjaminharris1121]

I don't notice much of a change in my lats when I roll them out. However, when I do planks or even just flex my abs while standing, my rib flare feels balanced out while performing the movement. Based off thar, is it more likely that the cause of my rib flare is due to a weak core? Just feel disappointed reading about a lot of people's instant results just with foam rolling while I don't feel anything.

[@kristincunningham9983]

Thanks I have to go swimming in the next week and I was always self conscious about hopefully it helps🙏🏻🙂

Fire video! I will do these exercises and I’m hoping they will help my rib flare quickly. Thanks bro

[@rewolfer]

I'm yet to watch this video, but mine is especially visible when i lie on my back. It feels like my natural lying position has an overcurved lowerback which leads to the ribs flaring out... Hoping this video addresses this :D

[@RaquelSantos-hj1mq]

I have it on one side due to pregnancy. I have terrible pain because my body cannot find stability. Why was this never addressed during the 10 times I went to physical therapy??? Now it makes sense that the overhead exercises kill me. I also have the exaggerated curve. I will be using these exercises.

[@indighostchild]

i have had chornic low back pain for my whole life pretty much, now i have randomly had very sore right side of ribs for the past 4 weeks. this is the best explanation for my low back pain and the connection between my rib pain, out of all the osteopaths, chiropractors etc i have seen. i know this is not so much about pain, but I'm linking this explanation to the pain i am experience, do you think that would be a fair assumption?

[@indighostchild]

indighostchild although i think that i actually injured my ribs from foam rolling on them

[@seabiscuit6460]

How long do you have to do this before you see improvement?

[@robertasp-p5142]

Great Video! Informative and at good pace. What i wanted to add is when there is this issue it combines with other common problems like chin to much up and outword,neck issues and shoulders being pulled up by compressed muscles. When doing hand raises be aware of neck chin core butt and shoulder position and ofc breathing. Cheers! Im seeing results after 6month, had variuos traumas

[@jp2216]

Lately It seems my ribs are constantly flared. In the last year, I have had a lot of upper bloating in my stomach. Could this bloating have caused the constant rib flare? The rib flare is also painful. Painful to lift or do physical activity. X ray seemed to look fine. So two questions: Can upper bloating cause rib flare? Is rib flare painful, and painful when lifting?

Hey so if you don’t mind would you be able to tell me what other exercises your chiropractor has you do.

[@Imortallyfueled65]

Damn I wish I had found this sooner, I do have pectus excavatum but it’s very mild but my core is also very weak even though I have visible abs and what not but I’ve noticed over the years that the left side of my torso looks significantly different in terms of muscle definition and size specifically the lats and obliques and I’ve never felt self conscious about the way my torso looks until now. I’ve recently started bulking up and because of how flared my ribs are a long with the weight gain I’m starting to look fat with a shirt on even though I’m as skinny as can be so I’m starting to become pretty self conscious about the way I look now and after watching this video it’s given me hope for some change! That being said I’m going to go out and get a foam roller and try these exercises daily and I will come back to update you all! Thank you again and stay safe out there everyone!

[@specialone6731]

Hey how has it been going for u?

[@Imortallyfueled65]

Mr PicklesEATYOU ! Mr PicklesEATYOU ! Hey! Well unfortunately because of the quarantine going on and me being home for the past month I wasn’t able to go out and get that roller as soon as I was hoping but I bought it a couple days ago now that I’m back at work and I can confidently say that the roller absolutely works in terms of relieving muscle tension and aching but yeah right away I was able to notice more range of motion and so far I’ve just been focusing on range of motion and these stretches and techniques and I can’t say I’ve noticed anything extraordinary just yet but then again there’s a lot more to it then just the rib flare, my whole lifestyle leading up to this point has been counterproductive towards helping my rib flare and pectus excavatum so I’m technically starting from scratch with all of this so it might take some time! But I have high hopes! I’m going to keep using the roller and start doing more advanced variations of stretching and do specific exercises that I found on Athleanx’s channel and I’ll come back here from time to time let you guys know about any progress I’ve made!💪🏻

Anyone done this and had results? I do the planks only but I'm very inconsistent, I can definitely sense the ribs reacting when I do them right though. Only asking cause the comments are a little sus ngl and some of them are over 5 years old with no updates. Also if I hold my plank for longer/do more planks, would I get results faster? I don't know much about exercising & bones etc. And how long did it take you guys to fully recover/see progress? I'm gonna update this comment, just reply to this if I haven't already.

[@nikkimacbride7982]

I was wondering all the same things! I’ve had such bad back pain from a car accident I was in. There hasn’t been a single Dr to take this into consideration. I’ve been through 3 rounds of physical therapy and while the therapist works on my core no ones taken my ribs into consideration!!!!!
