elevate your rib


so i tried resistance bands again and my ribs went up. where did pts get the idea that this will help tos??????? have there been documented studies on them bc everyone's experience seems to be a massive failure. i am just glad i caught the sx early so i knew to stop.

i know everyone's different but i can safely say, that this exercises isn't provocative for me pain-wise. however six months ago, i couldn't do it. everything was snapping and cracking. if youre trying to strengthen and get snapping/thudding/cracking, definitely stop



i have done it with zero weights and a 2lb weight


i am on the prowl for a strengthening exercise that will be rib-safe and only strengthen my lower traps. hopefulyl my pt will have some ideas. if anyone has ideas, post away.
