Posture work never closed it.
This does.
A flare is a breathing pattern before it is a posture problem.

Your ribs flare and
nothing touches it.
Most rib flare advice is generic posture content that misses the specific breathing and core mechanics involved. Here's why your efforts haven't moved it, and what does.
Your breath shapes your ribs
20,000 times a day.
A chest-dominant habit reinforces the flared position with every one of those breaths. Re-pattern the breath, restore the deep core, and the lower ribs finally have a reason to come down, and stay down.

"Had the flare since i was about 14 and just assumed that was my ribcage, permanently. Brace plus the breathing drills and my mrs asked when i'd lost weight. I hadn't lost anything, it's just the ribs sitting where they should now."
"didnt know you could be breathing wrong for 21 years. thats the whole thing right there. flare started going down on its own once i stopped breathing into my shoulders, which is not what i paid for but ill take it"
"ive bought like four programs for this over the years and quit every one of them by week two. finished this one. i think its cus you cant move on until you can actually hold the position, so theres never that thing where you're guessing if youre ready or not"
"I went in wanting to debunk it, honestly. Started opening the citations one at a time and they were real papers that said what he said they said. That is a depressingly low bar and nowhere else online clears it."
"I came across your blog about a year ago and I just want to say how much you've changed my life for the better. I thought it was going to be another average article, but the tips you gave were things I hadn't heard of before. Now I've improved so much and im more confident then ever."
"read the blog for months before i actually did anything with it. no coach, no brace, just the stuff in the articles done properly. i feel a lot better now and the photos say the rest"
"Two months in and I've put on 3 kg of muscle. My chest doesn't cave the way it used to when I'm standing relaxed, and that alone was worth it."
"first call he told me straight up itd take a year and id hate months 2 through 5. he was right about both lol. 12 months on and my PC is flat. took my shirt off at the beach in january without doing the whole towel thing"
"the bell leaves a red ring on your chest the second you take it off, and nobody warns you about that. it fades within the hour and the skin has never been an issue since. 100% satisfied - the sternum sits higher than it has my whole life"
"the brace is made really good, i wear it under the t-shirt at school and nobody has noticed in 4 months. my mother was crying when we compare the photos. sorry for my english"
"He knows more about this than the two consultants I paid to see, which says more about them than it does about him. Showed my GP the 9 month photos and he asked me for the website. Half a star off because the time zones make the calls a nightmare from Ireland."
"watched the youtube for six years before i spent a single cent. bought the program, did it properly for 7 months, and the only thing i actually regret is the six years"
"My son is 15 and had started keeping a shirt on in the pool, which is how I worked out something was wrong in the first place, because he certainly wasn't going to tell me. He would never have stuck with the brace on his own. It was the fortnightly check-ins that did it - he didn't want to turn up with nothing to report. Six months now and the bump has visibly come down. He swims without the shirt."

“came in skinny with a deep dip and ribs that stuck out at the bottom. six months, 4kg up. funny thing is nobody says anything about the dip, its the flare going down that people actually noticed”

Eight connected modules.
One correction system.
Breathing first, then mobility, core, compression and loaded strength, in the order that closes the ribs and keeps them closed.
Rib Flare Anatomy & Functional AssessmentModule 01
The three drivers (breathing pattern, core activation failure and postural habit) and how to identify which combination is yours.
- 01The three drivers of flare
- 02Breathing-pattern check
- 03Core & postural assessment
- 04Finding your combination
Diaphragmatic Breathing ReprogrammingModule 02
The retraining sequence that addresses the chest-dominant pattern driving rib elevation, lateral expansion, posterior diaphragm activation and the breath mechanics that begin repositioning the ribs.
- 01Undoing chest-dominant breathing
- 02Lateral rib expansion
- 03Posterior diaphragm activation
- 04Breathing the ribs down
Intercostal & Thoracic MobilityModule 03
Opening the lateral chest wall and thoracic spine to create the physical space for rib closure, mobilisations, stretching and soft-tissue work specific to flare.
- 01Lateral chest-wall opening
- 02Thoracic spine mobility
- 03Flare-specific stretching
- 04Targeted soft-tissue work
Deep Core Activation for Rib ClosureModule 04
Transverse abdominis activation in the correct ribcage position, oblique patterns that compress laterally, and the progression from isolated activation to loaded movement.
- 01Transverse abdominis activation
- 02The correct ribcage position
- 03Lateral-compression obliques

Compression Brace PlanModule 05
If you use a brace, the wear schedule, tightening progression, positioning and the exercise pairings that make compression and training work together.
- 01Brace wear schedule
- 02Tightening progression
- 03Correct positioning
- 04Pairing brace with training
Postural Rebalancing & Daily MovementModule 06
The standing, sitting and movement habits that reinforce flare versus the positions that hold correction, building rib closure into daily life so it sticks.
- 01Standing & sitting habits
- 02Movement patterns that flare
- 03Positions that hold closure
- 04Building it into daily life
Loaded Progression & Strength IntegrationModule 07
Moving from corrective work to strength training with correct rib mechanics, the patterns that compound closure and the gym habits that undo it.
- 01Corrective to strength work
- 02Lifting with rib control
- 03Patterns that compound closure
- 04Gym habits that undo it
Measurement Method & Progress MilestonesModule 08
Rib-angle measurement, intercostal width tracking and milestone checkpoints at weeks 4, 8 and 16 that confirm correction, or show what to adjust.
- 01Rib-angle measurement
- 02Intercostal width tracking
- 03Checkpoints: weeks 4, 8, 16
- 04Knowing what to adjust
What the first
30 days look like.
You re-pattern the breath first, the foundation everything else builds on, then layer in core and mobility.
Pre-order the courseIdentify your specific flare pattern, take baseline rib-angle measurements and photos, and set your starting drills.
Install diaphragmatic, lateral-expansion breathing, the single change that makes everything else work.
Add deep-core activation and intercostal mobility so the ribs have both the cue and the space to come down.
Re-measure your subcostal angle against baseline, confirm progress, and step into loaded patterns with correct mechanics.
Everything you need
to close the flare.

I had it. I fixed it.
Now I help you do the same.
I'm not writing this as a doctor looking at a scan. I had the sunken chest, the flared ribs, the shirt that stayed on at the pool, and nobody could tell me what actually works.
Years of consistent, non-surgical training made mine unnoticeable. Everything on this page exists because I needed it to exist ten years ago.
I tested all of it on my own body first, then refined it every time someone hit a wall I had not planned for.

What each path
actually costs.
Not in dollars. In time. Side by side, honestly.
Some flares need a course.
Some really don't.
No surprises between
you and starting.
No waiting on a reply, no onboarding call, nothing to install.
The whole system.
A fraction of the bill.
One payment, lifetime access, free updates forever. Surgery runs to $50,000. This is the plan that tries everything else first.
Try the whole thing for 30 days. Use it, and if it isn't what was described, message me for a full refund, no questions asked. The risk stays with me, not you.
Common questions.
Do I need a rib flare brace?+
Not necessarily. The breathing, core and mobility work in modules 01–04 and 06 produce results without a brace. Compression accelerates correction in most cases and is covered in Module 05, but the course is fully usable without one.
Does this apply to one-sided flare or both?+
Both. The assessment module helps you identify your pattern, asymmetric flare often has a different driver than bilateral flare, and the plan adapts accordingly.
Can I do this alongside regular training?+
Yes, and the later modules cover exactly how to integrate rib correction into a training program. Some exercise patterns compound correction; others undo it. Module 07 maps this explicitly.
Is this suitable for teenagers?+
Yes, the plan adapts to skeletal maturity. Adolescents often improve faster because the ribcage is still developing. The assessment module flags age-specific considerations.
How fast will I see results?+
Many people feel breathing and core changes within the first couple of weeks; visible and measurable rib-angle change typically follows over the first 8–16 weeks of consistent work.
How much time does it take each day?+
The daily reset is 15–20 minutes of breathing and positional work, plus 3–4 training sessions a week once the corrective loading phase starts. It’s designed to run alongside a normal life, not replace it.
Will this work for me as an adult?+
Yes, and rib flare is actually the most age-tolerant of the three conditions, because most flare is functional: position and muscle balance, not fused bone. Adults routinely improve it; the assessment module sets honest expectations for your case.
Can breathing exercises really move my ribs?+
It sounds too simple, but it's mechanics: a full exhale lets the diaphragm pull the lower ribs down and in (the zone of apposition), and you repeat that pattern roughly 20,000 times a day. Re-pattern the breath and the ribs get a consistent input toward closed, that's why it's Module 01, not a warm-up.
My flare came with pectus excavatum, which do I fix first?+
Common combination. If the dip is your dominant concern, start with the PE course, its breathing work improves flare too. If the flare bothers you more, start here. The free quiz gives you a straight recommendation for your case.
Is my flare structural, the kind exercises can’t fix?+
A minority of flares involve genuinely prominent costal cartilage that repositioning won’t fully close. The self-assessment in Module 01 helps you tell functional from structural honestly, and even structural cases usually improve, because position always contributes something.
When do I actually get it?+
On 31 Dec 2026. I'm still filming, and you're pre-ordering — that's why it's $197 instead of $297. On the day it's finished, the link lands in your inbox automatically. If the date ever moves I'll email you before it does, and you can take a refund instead of waiting. Lifetime access and free updates once it's yours.
What if it’s not for me?+
Go through it properly first. If it isn't what I promised, one email in the first 30 days gets you a full refund, no explanation needed.
