When you say your ribs went up, do you mean vertically towards your head, or horizontally as in they moved anteriorly?

Which of your ribs go up?

Also, what do you experience when they are up?

The reason I ask is that both my chiro and my osteopath have noted independently that my first and second ribs on my symptomatic side are shifted anteriorly and rotated out. They are trying to get them back in.
