Do you have any vids on rib flare? If a lower left rib is sticking out, am I stuck this way or is it fixable?

@TaroIwamoto

@@eddiepizzlefully Let me ask you why that needs to be fixed? This is a fairly common mindset. You identify structural misalignment and assume that can cause problems and tries to fix it. I am finding that it is rather abnormal to be symmetrical. We are naturally asymmetrical in structures and functions. In my opinion we fix more than necessary. We often make false cause and effect relationships so we can fix something just for the sake of fixing, and so often that is not necessary. This is why I ask you this question. Rib flare is quite common, and some people may associate it with some conditions such as lower back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, etc. My perspective is always about expanding a range of possibilities and availablity so our nervous system has more resources which can serve us in all kinds of situations. I apologize that I am not answering your question directly, but I believe this mindset of fixing the body can do more harm than good in the long term.

@@TaroIwamoto the reason I want to fix it is because it wasn’t like that a couple months ago. Now causing shoulder pain on the left, underarm pain, left back pain, and that rib has pain going around to the front. I fell a couple months back and I don’t know if it could be a bruised rib. It even goes up my neck on the left side . I’m seeing a doctor who is realigning me, she says it can be fixed in a couple sessions it’s it’s musculoskeletal but why would muscle stick a bottom rib out? It seems more like bone to me. I know gravity effects is all differently and we’re not all symmetrical but I was one way for 35 years and now I have this. Can it be fixed or am I stuck like this? Is it bad to wear a back brace for this type of problem? Also I bought something called the backpod it’s like an egg you lay on, similar to those roller things, is it safe to use? Am I stuck like this? I thought it was something that could be popped back into place but when she said realigning my spine I’m wondering if it’s a vertibre that’s causing this rib to stick out and once she realigns me a couple times if it will go back. She’s not a scam doctor it’s through my actual doctors office it’s a sports medicine thing. She said I’d go right back to having the pain etc after a couple days bc it was only my first appointment but after a few sessions I could get back to normal. I just don’t know what to believe anymore and this is debilitating it effects my every day now. I can’t function the way I used to and I’m looking for anything I can do. Thank you for writing to me

@@eddiepizzlefully I can understand your frustration and confusion. Unless there was rib fracture or dislocation, rib flare is influenced by what is connected to the ribs, which is basically everything else including your spine, pelvis, hips, head, etc. If you develop comensatory movement patterns due to the original trauma, your body naturally shifts away from the injurued area to protect it. For example, if you sprain right ankle, you shift weight to left, which shifts pelvis , spine, ribs also to left side more, which may increase rib flare on left side. In my video I talk about retraining movement patterns. Have you watched my previous video on lateral pelvic tilt?

@@TaroIwamoto I did watch it! The doctor said my pelvis was aligned and now that I thibk of it I remember her saying we compensate for the injury putting pressure on other areas to protect it like you said . I had an X ray they said everything was fine so I know I don’t have a fracture. If I had a dislocated rib they’d have seen it on an x ray wouldnt they? they’re saying it’s musculoskeletal and was not only realigning me with neck back pelvis and then some sort of scapula massage which she said caused an upper rib in my back to stick out which I didn’t know. So if it was a dislocation what would they do pop it into place or how does that work? And is that something they’d have seen on the X-ray or how can they tell your rib is dislocated? Thank you for your time your videos are amazing!

I lean on my left side/leg and have done for a few years, I thought nothing of it until I started going to the gym 5 weeks ago. When I was on the leg press machine I noticed I wasn't using my legs equally to push, I could feel my my left side was taking the majority of the weight. After some research I found it was LPT due to how I sit and stand - I've seen a few videos that explain what LPT is, how it develops, and offer various muscle exercises but they never explained what to do depending on what side the tilt is. This is the first video on LPT that offers guidance on what to do depending on which side LPT occurs and in a logical way (training your brain rather than exercising muscles). Thank you for this video and keep up the amazing work!

Hi, Thanks for sharing such an easy method to fix the un-even pelvic area. I recently got this issue and I am having lot of pain and difficulty to perform these methods. At this earlier stage are these micro movements safe to do? Please advise. Thanks.

Also from one of your other video I tried the ancle mobility because I can’t do squat. I did rowing professionally and I was running every day for 1 hour since age of 12. I can never do any squats. When i tried the ancle realise after the calf stretching , i see some ligaments in front part of my right instep really funny moving but also my right ancle is kind of protruding towards outside and the twist continues all the way up the body. Can I do something with the ligament on the right front instep which something is twisting the who right leg up to the pelvis , it seems. Do you think could this ligament in front part of the ancle be responsible to the twist ( uneaven) in hibs area?Thank you

I love this video, saw it may be 6 times, with my son too. But now we are getting confused. We hear that in both of the cases ( if we stay and lean either on left or right foot and hip mainly), that we should put the weight on the right foot and while doing that that we elongate the spine from colapsed position. It seems that in one of those cases was “ slip of the tongue ”. Should we push on the back foot or the the front foot while trying to elongate the spine while standing ( because we hear in both cases that we should put the weight on the right foot) . Thank you so much 🌹

I have watched this one twice. I actually don't stand with one leg behind the other as you demonstrated. I am standing with both feet equal, but leaning onto the right side. I can still correct it by pressing down. My question. Can we do this for ANY bias using the same formula? Do our bias and move out of it, then do the other unfamiliar side and move out of it. Is that a correct understanding? Thank you Taro

@TaroIwamoto

3 жыл бұрын

I don't know that I call it the formula, but sure. I think it is helpful to explore both habitual and non-habitual movements even if you think your habitual patterns are not helping you. My thinking is that never reject any movement options and possibilities, the more movement options you have, the more resources you have, and you'll become more adaptable.

But what do you do when im shifted to left but my right side is the higher hip? I barely put my weight on the right side and have problems straightening or locking out the leg but it is the higher hip.

@TaroIwamoto

10 ай бұрын

when you shift your weight onto your left, right hip naturally goes up higher as you raise your right heel.

Is it a right rotated pelvis when your right hip protrudes further out on the right hand side, belly/belly button slants to the right from your point of view and left rib cage protrudes forward? If so any videos on this?

@TaroIwamoto

3 жыл бұрын

thanks for your question. for the purpose of retraining the nervous system and movement patterns, I would practice on both sides. In your case, it's possible that your left side doesn't get much practice as it is shorter, and takes more impact at each landing when walking. So it'd be helpful for you to learn how your left side can absorb impact at landing and push off to transfer weight to right.
