Dear John. I'm a physical therapist trying to better understand the totality of the human body. I just bought your book "the vital glutes". I can't think of any book that helped me more than yours. Thanks a lot

[@TheHadesShade]

How would you mobilize the second rib? Any different from the 5th or lower?

[@sams.4388]

John, as usual, a great video. Do you ever manipulate ribs with the patient in supine? If so, how do you choose between the supine and prone techniques?

[@JohnGibbons]

Hi Sam, I find the prone technique easier if honest, I do manipulate the ribs from the supine position but you have to change the hand positioning compared to the 'dog' technique for the thoracic spine. It can also be uncomfortable on your hand if not in the correct position. Hope that helps

[@relaxationmassageguy]

Hi john do you have courses on udemy ?You not only qualified but you passionate,you one of the best instructors

[@robertcaldwell2512]

You make it look so simple. I've been to several chiropractors and none can relocate my rib.

[@ThierryFont]

If you wanted to manipulate the costo-transverse, wouldn't you need to stabilise the vertabrae and thrust the ribb?

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks for the message and the vertebra is already pretty stable, regards JG

[@miha023]

What exactly structure you manipulate? Thoracic transversus, body of thoracic vertebra or rib?

[@JohnGibbons]

This video is mainly the rib - costotransverse junction, regards JG

[@men.276]

What would you professionally assume is causing thoracic spine pain that comes only when working and doing strenuous lifting? But pain goes away with rest and relaxation.

[@JohnGibbons]

Can't really comment without looking at you but sounds like an issue with the facet joints, see a therapist where you live to assess, regards JG

[@men.276]

Thanks

[@sixstring215]

In the video you mention you had "already manipulated" the joints during the test springs. Why then would you go ahead and do a thrust right after? Didn't you already get your intended treatment?

[@JohnGibbons]

The students on the course were attending a Mobilisation and a Manipulation course with me in Oxford, so I showed them the mob technique then I had to demonstrate the manipulative technique even though the joints had already cavitated.

[@drtekchandsharma]

How u decide which side thrust will be given ..rgt or left

[@JohnGibbons]

Tekchand Sharma it depends on what side there is a rib lesion - you can do general springing as helps mobilises both side of the ribs. Regards JG

[@urmama54]

how would you treat an 'acute' rib dysfunction-supine/prone/seated?

[@nikitamcdowell1760]

Is it normal for upper/mid back pain to cause pain or tightness in the ribs?

[@JohnGibbons]

It is probably the rib that is causing the tightness in the muscle - if you feel it on coughing, sneezing and laughing then it will be rib related, dont worry as most of these settle down quickly, regards jG

[@nikitamcdowell1760]

@@JohnGibbons The rib pain has came after the back pain. My back pain is excruciating, it’s so painful. I’m waiting on X-ray but I’m thinking the worst 😭
