hey,
clarification...my boobs are on either side of the roller and it is about four feet long. I think.....around there. Most exercise places will sell them. I got mine from my MT but she`s great......most exercise places tht sell weights will have them for sale. so boobs on either side and roll on it on your ribs. side to side....no boob squishing...but I am a B cup at the best of times....LOL hope that helps love and hugs, Vic

Victoria- do you rest your chin on the roller or do you hold your neck rigid and avoid the roller?

Victoria's foam roll mention & video link got me searching for more videos that might be good to look at.
I made a thread for the video links here - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread78723.html

thanks Jo for the links..there are a lot to go through but none really talk about the rib issue.....likely only a tos thing!!! I should post a video on you tube!!! LOL
As for the chin issue I sort of relax my neck forward...not holding it up as it'd take too much work and cause pain. I need my head off the roller to get the ribs in the right spot though. So sometimes I do hold my head up. I take breaks in between to relax the neck (just got a migraine...can't see so will hope this is enough for clarification.....) love and hugs, V

I was experimenting with my foam roll and another way that might work is to place the roll against a wall and lean onto it.
You have to find the right height and angle for your self. For me it is about hip height and then I can lean straight into the roll by bending at the waist, it gives me a straight on push to the top rib. I think anything that you can find that is comfortable to fit in the neck/shoulder area and push against would work. You do have to be careful that you aren't getting too much pressure to close to the neck. {arteries} when PTs did the top rib mob for me they used a straight down angle with me sitting, chiro only does a tweak to it now when needed. So different angles of pressure might work better for each of us depending on our issues in that area.
