Learning how to fix rib flare isn't as easy as plugging in the same exercises regardless of your presentation...

There's actually at least 3 different types of rib flare and they require different exercise-based solutions.

The three types are:

1. Extended and wide lower rib cage

This type is mainly positional. Learn to get out of extension and add dynamics movements without flaring.

2. Extended rib cage with grooves

This type is both positional and shape change related. The diaphragm is too tense and is created a dysynchronous breathing pattern. The key is to learn to exhale for a long time to create a relaxed position of the diaphragm.

3. Anterior to Posterior Compressed Rib Cage with Pectus Excavatum

This type features a significant amount of sternal compression due to a chest wall deformity. This created a wide shape of the rib cage side to side and a narrow shape front to back.

In this case, we need to select exercises that create the opposite shape.
