Rib Flare - Why you can't FIX it!
Rib flare is probably the most common movement-related issue that I see.
While not all rib flare is created equal, it usually has two components:
1. A shift in rib cage position
2. A change in the shape of the rib cage
Position:
-The rib cage usually moves forward at the lower rib cage, which then is typically counter-balanced by a tipping back of the upper rib cage. This extended rib cage position shifts the center of gravity forward.
Rib cage shape:
-The rib cage gets compressed on the back and sides from the position. At the same time, a descended position of the diaphragm can begin to exert an inward pull on the ribs just above the lower ribs. The combination of this compression and pull creates the appearance of a noticeable flare at the lowest ribs.
Why does rib flare happen?
-Humans are tasked with contending with the demands of gravity. To do this we must manage pressures inside the body and produce force into the ground.
-Shifting the rib cage forward and leveraging an inhaled position of the diaphragm is a way that we can get force into the ground and a way for us to manage internal pressures.
-In this case, the guts are getting pushed forward, down, and out through expansion in the abdominal cavity.
-It's hard to say which comes first (chicken or egg) in terms of position vs. force production strategy, but my best guess is that the need to contend with gravity is the primary concern...
Why don't rib flare correction exercises "stick?"
There are a few main reasons that rib flare exercises don't stick:
1. Moving the rib cage by creating additional compensation rather than letting go of the initial compensations
2. Breathing incorrectly - no shape change in the rib cage
3. Not challenging the new breathing and positional strategies under load
If I had to pick which of these steps is likely the biggest reason, it's likely number 3.
Even if steps 1 and 2 aren't perfect, we NEED to challenge our ability not to flare the ribs during loaded exercises.
If every time you load an exercise, you push your rib cage forward and lose abdominal opposition...
...guess what?
You are never going to correct rib flare.
Rib flare is a manifestation of our need to produce force against gravity. Just so happens our positional and breathing strategy is sub-optimal.
You not only need to learn the breathing and positional skills, but you also need to reinforce and challenge these skills in an upright position.
Upright position = the context that drives the body to create this strategy in the first place.
No amount of floor-based exercise is going to get you all the way there.
Progression:
In this progression, we have 3 phases:
Phase 1: Progressively learn breathing and positional skills
Phase 2: Reinforce skills in the gym. Choose activities that promote the desired position
Phase 3: Challenge skills in the gym. Choose activities that force you to maintain the desired position under duress.
Go through all 3 phases, and the probability that changes stick will go through the roof.

Your explanations of the diaphragm movement and common mistakes are EXTREMELY USEFUL!! After just adjusting the breathing method, I had already seen great improvements and regained the center gravity by mere consciousness. My shoulders' mobilities have improved as well. I cannot thank you enough for this! I hope your works will get the recognitions they deserve❤

    This seems related to your previous video. Rib Cage and Pelvis Alignment - Are You Making This Common Mistake? (QUICK and EASY Solution) I was using that to try and address flare, but I guess this video is more direct. Still, I found the other video to be extremely useful & it made me aware of how much I was leaning forward, putting a lot of pressure on my forefoot instead of actually balancing on my heels. When I shifted rearwards that started activating my TA and then my glutes had to start engaging when walking, so it's making a complete change happen in how I put power through to the ground. Great videos and so helpful! There are lots of hacks out there that don't actually address the root causes, but your videos do. Thanks!

    Congratulation, Sir. Thatś what I call a methodology an willingess to help! So, let me recapitulate in more details the three Three stages(also to help others): 1-Rib cage position shape Breathing Hook lying cage-long gentle exhale holding hands vertically and feeling side and low abdominal tension Side lying -on elbows, refrain fromnot overdoing it! All fours reach - cat stance , back neutral slow exhalation ribs retracted and until slight abdominal tension is felt. 2-Reinforce SKills Right leg on a step, left hand expanding forward (exhale)and backward (inhale) heels up gobble squat holding a weight in front ofour chest, inhale down, exhale up 3- Challenge skills Pullower when lying flat on a bench inhale back not down jus cca horizontally and exhale to vertical position, avoiding lower-rib flare in favor of gerntle lower ab tension. Kettlebell overhead press with one hand-Exhale up withuout arching, inhale down (like at weightlling). Parameters of progression -Highly individual beginners just stage 1, then gradfually to stage 2 ans three roughly with the same amount of time, every other or thrid day. Again, Sir, many thanks for this comprehensive advisory and I alsoliky giving at least one day out between days of training. Best regards. Paul,68, retired martial artisdt.

    Awesome video Greg! Thank you for sharing many valuable contents. May I ask you a question? It seems that the lower ribs have been anchored by the obliques preventing it to flare up and allowing the ribs above to expand outward. But does that mean that those lower ribs should not expand and not lift up during inhalation? or there is still some degree of controlled elevation of those lower ribs? Cause i can picture in my mind the tug war in between the neck and the abs elongating the ribcage but many anatomy video of the ribcage shows elevation and expansion of those distal lower ribs. thanks again for the video

  • @ChaplinPerformance

    @ChaplinPerformance

    Жыл бұрын

    Great question. You’ll still need to drive expansion. The oppositional force of the diaphragm will prevent the diaphragm from staying descended and pulling inward on the rib cage instead of outward. We need to make sure we get that diaphragm into a fully relaxed state on the exhale and then control the rate of descent on inhale. This will guide expansion into the rib cage in a more distributed fashion

    Dear Greg; I love your Breathing blog about the ribcage, sharing relentlessly. This here is mind blogging ribcage work. Nowhere to be found. Multifaceted, precise but simple enough. I work on exact this as an functional Breathing Instructor and structural BodyWorker. And your own example being correctly aligned (not many to find) acts as learning by observing. I share this with all my clients. I started to correct pelvis tilt via the ribcage a while back now. It is easier for people to correct the ribcage then the pelvis tilt. Because it is easier to 'feel' the ribcage rotation. Please - could you put this video also under a different name - 'How to use the ribcage for correct Posture' or 'Help to structural align via the ribcage' or any. This way more people will find when searching for 'alignment'. I am also a Somatic Practitioner and work in Psychiatry on all this - this loosening of holding patterns in the ribcage has a huge impact on our Mind-Body-Connection! BRAVO Greg and THANK YOU!

I thought it was something I'd need surgery for, and have been wanting to get it fixed since I was 10 years old. I've been trying phase 1 over the past few days, but I must be doing something wrong because my ribs don't seem to go down like yours. When laying down like in phase 1, the height of my ribcage is more than twice that of my stomach. Will it eventually fix my rib flare after a few weeks/months of doing this?

The first one is that, if I have lateral pelvic tilt, should I do the exercises differently, should I correct my lateral pelvic tilt before or should I do the exercises of correction of the flared ribs and lateral pelvic tilt independently? The second question is, how can I work the abdominals without generating tension in the guts, or should I avoid exercising them while correcting this?

    Usually this first, then lateral pelvic tilt. Second question: you will always tension the guts... it's just in what direction?

    Number one is to get into the position and to assess what you feel and see there. Use the arm to reposition the rib cage as needed and then assess the pelvis. When in doubt, use subjective and objective measures to categorize the response with each parameter. Collect data over time and you'll begin to understand what strategies work best for you

    Finally someone who can name this phenomenon. I have noticed this in my 1 1/2 year old. Is there anything I can do with him to help him? The excercises here are too complex for his age. He has had some excess gas in his guts due to some bacterial overgrowth, that we are working on at the moment. Could that be a cause, as it pushes the gut out?

    This is amazing thank you. I oddly only get flaring on one side and I've had it since I was a teenager. The odd thing is that I've been meditating and doing breathing exercises for about a decade now, but since I've watched this video I'm literally just noticed that my inhales are very long and full, but my exhales and much shorter. The slight tension in the oblique area with the long exhales is very telling to me that my exhales are way too shallow.

I have just learned in the last year that it is called rib flare. I also have diastis recti, which I think may be contributing to the rib flare.

    You might be pressing down too hard or crunching. Or you aren’t getting the deeper abs at the end of the exhale. If you get those right, you’ll feel gently expansion into the ground on inhale. Keep reviewing the cues!

    I've had a left side rib flair for years due to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and always thought I'd micro cracked a rib or something (lotta sore ribs after classes) sounding more like now I have a rib flair but I've spent about 30-45mins trying and reviewing this video with little to no results? I feel I've followed it well but could a long time of not treating it sooner and it being froze a bit? Or possibly the tension of back/hip muscles from other injuries be causing the ribs not to move as freely? I hope for a reply and possibly 1 on 1 conversation on fixing and prevention moving forward in athletics and martial arts.

    Pain is multi-factorial and often not associated with structural damage. Pain is your body's way of detecting threat. Threat could be related to storage of unprocessed emotions/trauma in the body, movement beyond the tolerance of a specific tissue, or anxiety related to feeling a novel or unpleasant sensation. All pain is real but it is usually not a result of any specific tissue damage. The more we resist pain and try to get away from it, the stronger it tends to get.
