00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:01.050
Rib flare always

00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:02.100
gets treated like

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:03.330
a cosmetic issue,

00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:04.440
but underneath it,

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:05.010
it can also

00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:05.930
be a breathing

00:00:05.930 --> 00:00:06.930
and core control

00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:08.030
problem. Once you

00:00:08.030 --> 00:00:09.360
understand that, correcting

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:10.290
it stops being

00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:11.320
a mystery. Here

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:11.970
is a concept

00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:12.750
that matters a

00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:13.670
lot, the

00:00:13.670 --> 00:00:14.810
zone of apposition.

00:00:14.810 --> 00:00:15.280
That's just a

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:16.250
way of describing

00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:17.280
the position where

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.420
your diaphragm, the

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:19.580
big breathing muscle

00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:20.480
under your ribs

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.970
sits properly against

00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:22.720
your lower rib

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:23.580
cage instead of

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:24.440
being pulled out

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:25.260
of position and

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:26.240
the flare corrects

00:00:26.330 --> 00:00:26.830
itself as a

00:00:26.830 --> 00:00:28.130
side effect. That's

00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:28.600
a big part

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:29.570
of the approach

00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:30.970
here. Also, bracing

00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:31.760
plays a huge

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.070
role here. Usually,

00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:34.080
rib flare happens

00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:34.720
if you also

00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:35.400
have a pectus

00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:37.040
excavatum chest condition

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:37.980
where your breast

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:39.090
bone sinks in.

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:40.630
An external compression

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:41.550
is needed here

00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:42.150
to push in

00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:43.440
those ribs. Next,

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:45.010
specific breathing drills

00:00:45.010 --> 00:00:46.020
that retrain your

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:46.940
diaphragm to sit

00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:47.920
where it should.

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.160
Core positioning work

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:50.200
that supports that

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.370
new position instead

00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:52.370
of fighting it.

00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:53.440
And a day-to-day

00:00:53.530 --> 00:00:54.730
protocol so you're

00:00:54.730 --> 00:00:55.920
not guessing what

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.380
to do on

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:57.360
day one versus

00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:58.800
week three. So,

00:00:58.800 --> 00:00:59.600
you can start

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.540
improving your rib

00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:01.700
flare tonight. No

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:03.330
appointment, no waiting

00:01:03.330 --> 00:01:04.080
room, just

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:05.300
the protocol, laid

00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.000
out step by

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.110
step. Read the

00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:08.060
plan below and

00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:08.720
start now.
