Rib Massage -- How to Fix Rib Pain with Self Myofascial Release 

Here I am in the middle of the pandemic looking for myofascial release videos for the ribs. Thanks for uploading this video. 🙏🏾

Thank you so much for posting this. I suffered a rough fall on my ribs fours days ago. I was feeling serious pain from breathing and basically any type of movement, especially trying to sleep. After about 15 minutes of following the steps in your video I feel so much better. It was bit scary at first, but now I'm going to keep using this technique until I'm fully healed.

I'm a gymnast and when I did a frontwalkover I had rib pains for 3 weeks so I watched this video and it really helps but I thought I would never be able to do gymnasticks again but I can so thank you so much this really helped xxxxx

Whoa. For the last 24 hours I could hardly breath. This fixed it immediately!!

11 years later but this was great advice for me today as I thought I’d injured my rib cage on my first block therapy try. Thank you so much Sukie🥰love and gratitude coming your way right now thank you again ❤

Thank you for making this video...It fixed my problem. My ribs have been overlapped for several days. I know it will take a few days for the bruised ribs to heal but the overlapping is gone. Thank you!

Thank you Sukie, that was very helpful. I injured or sprained my intercostals about a week ago and it is so painful. I expect it to take 6 or more weeks to recover. This has been the only 'manuever' that has eased the pain for me.

After eating, my upper left rib started to sting and hurt. I did not fracture it. I tried stretching and lying down, but it didn't work. Then I watched this video, tried this technique, and it started feeling much better.

Thank you so much I did this to my ribs on my right side and it helped so much. I slept wrong the other night.

Thanks, I’ve been working out a lot lately and my whole body hurts, especially my ribs, this helped a lot

Extremely helpful ... Eased the pain a lot. Thanks !

I get a lot of muscle tightness, so I find getting a massage helps. I think you have to also be conscientious of keeping a correct posture, something I have hard time with. I also need to strengthen my muscles. Stretching is fine up to point, but strengthening is important.

I watched so many videos, but talking about surgery and other serious cases.. but this video helped me mam... Thank you very much..

Really helpful. I finally have some relief. Thank you!

Thank you sooooo much, i can take a deep breath now without having to get the right timing and set up for it. Feels great .. Finally something that works after a whole month of pain and not knowing what to do with this pain.. Wow.. Thanks ..

I have to say thank you So much for sharing this! I felt a pop in my rib cage the other day, and I knew immediately I was going to be in pain for a long time. I am hoping so much that this is going to help me relieve the pain some more and speed up my healing a little! Thanks again, Suzie. I really appreciate you!

Thankyou, this felt good in a painful way. I'm worried what the hell I did though when you said it isn't normal, I've only done basic yoga and some leg extensions and marching since the pain started but cannot sit up from being laid down and have to roll onto the opposite side, also hurts to cough, it feels swollen and bloated on one side and hurts to touch or even sit, reminds me of the pain I had when I fell off a horse jumping but feels more internal. *Update* I had fractured my ribs and popped out my intercostals, people please get checked out if your very sore or even just cannot do as much movement, these exercises sure have helped ease things but certainly wouldn't have applied as much pressure and been doing yoga to try and release muscles if I'd known there was nothing to release and they were fractured.

woke up at 2am with a sharp pain in my left upper rib area. sitting down or standing up it's manageable and it doesnt hinder me too much but lying on either side of my body, esp the left, is brutal and i can only breathe about 40%.

PLEASE HELP. When I press it down and I take a deep breath it hurts really bad, it feels like a knife being stabbed in me

THANK YOU for this SELF treatment oh my gosh

thank you, the video was very helpful I tried the technique showed and it helped relief the injured pain in my ribs.

Thanks. I do this on my own but never saw anyone else do it. My pain is debilitating. No injury. Can facet joint disorder be a contributor? How about Fibromyalgia?

wow i've had a broken rib among many other broken bones in a motorcycle accident. But i've never put together my sticking rib breathing problem till i saw this video.thank you..........

Excellently done and very helpful! Since I started doing an alkalizing nutritional cleansing and replenishing system, I hadn't had ribs go out for years and I have felt amazing. However, after traveling and carrying heavy loads unevenly, my ribs went out and ouch, ouch, ouch! The chiropractors, massage therapists, ice and PEMF medicine haven't been able to get them to stay! This really helped! I am headed to your site! Thank you for caring and sharing!

Thank you so much for this video, Sukie! I fell on ice and bent my rib a month ago. It's a LOT better, but there are moments I feel some limitation- this helps me open it up some more. I'm grateful for the way you talk about it- that we don't have to give in to our limits- we can work on loosening up a place that hurts.

I had this problem quite some time, tried Theai massage , chiropractor, but it didn¨t work and its painful all the time

Thank you I was in pain but I did this and it helped ease the pain!

I suffer rib pain all the time so going to try this and hope it helps

Hi Sukie! I had scarring on my intercostals and have done a lot of work towards it over the years. I’m left with tight fascia in one area. Any other modalities you like for the intercostals? Would you recommend cupping or graston for this area? Finally, should also be doing breathing exercises that strengthen this area of the muscle? Thank you so much for your time

Awww early Sukie videos are so adorable!

Thank you for this information!! This really helped me.

I did this massaging the muscle downwards (under the left rib) and I felt and heard some weird pop in the left middle back and it made me kinda wince or scream. Now it hurts even more than it did before. I got this from giving a weird hug in the car and wtf it's killing me. It hurts every time I breathe in or out, talk about one of the worst places on the body to get injured in some way.

Thanks there, Sukie. That seems to help... and it's also the first of these videos I've seen that seems sensible and watchable. Good info, intelligently shared.

Thank you. This helped me a lot.

Wow this really helped me out a lot thanks 🖤

Thank you ,i feel relieved now in my pain

Thank you so much! I have had pain and cramps in my ribs ever since my first pregnancy. This hurts but helps!

Thank you for this.

Thanks! The pain is fading now

Thank you for this video.

I have been having pain in my right ribcage I have been trying to use a pillow to put pressure on it like a person who just had open heart surgery would when they cough and it would help temperarly but it would start hurting again the pain goes from the inner part of the ribcage all the way to my back close to the thoracic spine so I will try this exercise to see if it will help the pain

I have had chronic lower rib pain (false rib region 8/9/10 area - not sure exactly which one but approx 2 inches down from my sternum the right). Anyway, I have been scouring the web and youtube for months searching for a fix. I have tried supplements (for inflammation and cartilage; curcumin, glucosamine/chondroitin/msm blend, various peptides such as bpc, tb500/tb4, cjc/ipa blend and ran concurrently and separately). Nothing has worked. It has been plauging me and really impacting my QoL. Cant move the way I want to move. Cant train the way I want to train. Constantly aware of my movements just waiting for that old familiar twinge to appear again. It has truly been, in a way, torturous. Movement and the freedom of movement in my body is pivotal to my own personal well being. I tried this for about 5 minutes today and I swear, it has almost completely gone. I have tested super hard bracing of my core (ie for squatting, deadlifting etc) by bicep curling my partner (approx 50kg) and felt pretty much nothing. I am still getting some aggravation when rotating my T spine, so something is still "pulling" or jammed somewhere. Thread the needles loosened my mid back some and that pulling/jamming and subsequent pain from T spine rotation has also subsided slightly. Thank you so much Sukie, you have no idea how much this has been weighing on me. You have also set me down the road of further fascia study and I guess that is ultimately the lesson that was being presented to me from this entire situation. In thanks again, William

Are there any supplements to take to aid with this? Mine is caused by posture :(

It works. Thank you very much

I get short of breath, this helps immediately

Wow that place you touched I feel pain there,and if i breathe in I feel blunt pain, I'm so worried

It does really help me... Thnk you😊

Wow... thank you Sukie Baxter. It works.

Thanks Sukie..first vid I've seen that really explained this and helped me locate and massage troublesome areas.

Sweet holy shit. I just did that. Have an 8 year old dislocated 7, 8, and 9th ribs. Started to do that and almost scared the crap out of my dog with my whine. She, my dog called me a girl and not to moan about it as she has eaten many ribs…. I’ll keep doing this as I never realised just how awful the pain is. Thanks honey! 😊

Thank You

very helpful! thanks!

God bless you ❤️

Last 7 days i was upset due to rib pain, reports are normal, sudden my BP raised, dr. prescribed Bp tablets, still rib pain was not solved. This may help me.

How much it will take time to heal for skinny people?

I have had an on going back pain and rib problem for years. I've tried self treatment like massaging side ribs but it doesn't release the rib which dislocates. The pain wraps around my left chest, side, and into mid upper back. So far the only one who has relieved the pain is my chiro but the problem is the rib keeps moving out of place every month. Is there anything you can suggest for home therapy or a maneuver I can do to get the rib back in place? I also have scoliosis.

i love you this is superb THANKS

Appears to be working! You might have just saved me $40 not going to the chiropractor. Thank you!

My rib feels so much better I could barley breath and it hurt so bad it’s way better now!

When you're during from migrating ribs due to spinal injury you're already in so much pain that this exercise looks too painful to do on your own. Thank you for the explanation though!

can you explain how to do it in comments its very hard

What do you do if it's in the back area that you cannot reach?

Seriously makes me want to piddle a bit to do this release 😫

I have been having some pain on one of my ribs in the back area, near my spine, and I figured I either fractured it, or twisted the rib somehow, unfortunately I am unable to do this (what's in the video) because 1. I can't reach it myself and 2. I don't have anyone who would be able to help me. I guess I'll have to wait a while before I see anyone I know well enough to be able to help me out haha

I fell on my ribs 2 weeks ago and first it didn't hurt then now it hurts so bad and since then I can't have a full breath

I Love this. Thanks so much for sharing, I've subscribed; Jesus Christ Bless! :)

What if the Rib Pain is near my sternum/under breast and not on the side like in your video?

Thank you so much!! My pain is subsiding a little

lots of great info on your chanel Sukie! Since I tend to hurt myself alot I will probably be back often! ;)

My whole left side of my rib cage really hurts all the way to to my armpit ;(

So my rib is stuck inhaled what should i do?

i had rib fracture due to a car accident way back in 2015 and to this day im in pain thank you for this video😞😭😊

I fractured 7 ribs 8 months ago. The ribs have joined but there is extreme tightness ( like a tight band) where the ribs broke. This tightness changes into soreness if I walk around s lot. Possibly a muscle issue? Could it be damaged scar tissue? Any suggestions?

awesome...its works!

IT WORKS >>>>>>>>THANKS

My right side lower ribs hurt a little where my baby girl was kicking them outwards with her adorable little feet 🥰

I have the same issue, Scoliosis aswel... Have you found any relief? Im out of ideas

I'm 11 years old and my ribs and the ligament that connects your arm to your body hurts very bad. After we did 20 push-ups and 20 sec planks, my ribs and the part where u would stretch your arms out hurts really bad. I told my parents and they said that I haven't worked out in a while so I'm sore, but I have 50 girls in my gym class and EVERY SINGLE ONE told me that they have the same pains I do. Should I go see a doctor? How do I stop my arm pain too?? PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND I CANT TAKE THE PAIN! I can barely put on my clothes and brush my hair or eat!! HELP!!

My ribs aren’t expanded probably because of spasms

I just lay down then , I feel shaft back pain and my upper abdomen hurts, but I follow the step here and I discovered , when I touch my right side ribs hurts and left side no pain😥

My rib cages hurts a little when I take big breaths not sure what I have done to it also find it very hard to to move my right arm and when I do it feels like I'm trying to lift something very heavy.

well, HI there, Sukie Baxter! thank you very much!

Emotional issues blocked that’s why I’m here. Who else?

you can get a fractured or broken rib set in surgery they do a bone graft and drill plates onto the rib.

My side ribs hurt for no reason it happened in a sudden
