Let’s talk rib flare! 👀

Rib flare is when the lower ribs sit or appear to pop forward. While this can be completely normal for some people, others can experience discomfort, core and pelvic floor dysfunction or impacts on breathing mechanics.

Here is part 1 of exercises to help address rib flare👇

✨ 360° breathing: as you inhale focus on expanding your ribs in all directions — front, sides, and back. A resistance band around the lower rib cage can give feedback into what areas the expansion may be limited.

✨ Back rib breathing: In a supported child’s pose gently breathe into the back of your rib cage. Option to place a pillow to restrict the front ribs and prioritize the back ribs expansion.

✨ Side rib breathing: In a side lying position place a pillow under the bottom rib cage to promote expansion of the top ribs.

✨ Thoracic mobility: Cat/cows and open books (optional banded) help to improve thoracic mobility which is linked to ribcage positioning.

✨ Scapular push-ups: In a four point position, bring shoulder blades together, then press apart to strengthen serratus anterior, improve scapular control and ability to keep the rib cage stacked on top of pelvis during upper body movements.

Remember: there’s no single exercise that fixes rib flare! The best approach depends on your individual anatomy, breathing patterns, and movement habits.

With a deliberate pace and continuous tension, every movement in Control is intentional, challenging your slow-twitch muscle fibres while building strength, technique and precision.

This flow is shown at 2x speed, but in class, Sarah will have you finding your centre, controlling the movement and feeling every rep.

Sarah’s teaching at all three CORE Studios — come move with her!
