Yes, when I had severe spasms in my neck muscles & whole upper body..

I think it was my SCM and/or scalenes that caused my top rib to be pulled up and it got stuck like that , even after my chiro got me past the worst of the spasms.
I happened to find a highly skilled PT teacher that did a rib mobilization & they dropped back down into place. It made such a difference.
I think it worked so well & instantly for me because my spasms were resolved for the most part by then.

I had been having very limited hand/arm use and a constant choking/ tight turtle neck feeling for a few months until I found that PT guy. I felt like I had to constantly clear my throat and had issues with swallowing too.

Then at the next chiro appt I told him about the rib mob/adjustment & relief and he added that to my treatment as needed.
