Anatomy of Motherhood

AOM3: Rib Flare. Can you really change your ribcage with exercise? And why this is important postpartum?


Listen Later

On this week's solo episode we discuss rib flare, which is when one or both sides of your ribcage 'flare' out to the front or side, causing ribs that appear more prominent or other related issues. This can be especially common postpartum!

What I thought was going to be a fairly boring topic to make some TikToks about ended up getting so much traction I knew it needed a solo episode on my podcast.

Rib flare can be caused by poor posture, pelvic tilt, weak or imbalanced abdominals, pregnancy, improper breathing, and more. It can lead to pelvic floor issues, diastasis recti that won't heal, back pain, and neck tension. 

In this episode, we look at...

- What is rib flare, and why should you care?
- What are the different types of rib flare?
- Can you really fix it?
- What if it is genetic?
- Why my social media DM's blew up when I posted the rib flare videos   
- What exercise can you start doing today to start seeing change.
