Manual Rib Cage Work

Uses

How it works

Highlighted claims

• Manual pressure on the ribs can provide proprioceptive input and physical constraint to help redirect airflow. — Infra-Pubic Angle, Manual Rib Work, and Graded Exposure in Clinical Practice
• The foundational manual strategy is to block expansion in freely moving areas so breath is driven into the restricted zone. — Infra-Pubic Angle, Manual Rib Work, and Graded Exposure in Clinical Practice
• The goal of the manual technique is to redirect the breath rather than prevent breathing entirely. — Infra-Pubic Angle, Manual Rib Work, and Graded Exposure in Clinical Practice
• The lower rib cage should remain relatively closed so the diaphragm can develop tension and create rib expansion. — Infra-Pubic Angle, Manual Rib Work, and Graded Exposure in Clinical Practice
