@jdbarr1 Yes, my doc says that is a key problem for me. Every session we work on getting that area to release…and works the rib area to get it moving…also, i do breathing exercises a lot, and that definitely helps. You can do them anytime anywhere. There are advanced med students at most sessions, and they take me through some resistance exercises (leg), as they believe leg strength can help the back, where much of my pain presents.
