•FIX YOUR RIB FLARE•
.
Yesterday I shared some of my thoughts on posture and when it is important vs when it’s not.
.
A rib flare (or your ribcage angled upward) can be a common finding when looking at posture and it is seen more often when doing overhead exercises.
.
Being mindful of ribcage position, especially during exercise, can be helpful to improve core and pelvic floor activation.
.
These exercises will help to correct a rib flare, but you have to mindful while doing them or the same old postural patterns will creep up.
.
🌟Supine Overhead Pull Down (optional legs elevated)
🌟Tall Kneel Press
🌟Foam Roll Press Up
🌟Standing March
.
Be mindful that you don’t OVERCOMPENSATE. When drawing the ribs down, you should not brace your abs so hard that you feel pressure pushed down into the pelvic floor. It should feel like a subtle correction.
.
Let me know if you try these out!
