HOW TO DEAL WITH AN INTERCOSTAL STRAIN!

Today's video for our rib and thoracic series is looking at how to deal with and help the pain and symptoms resulting from an intercostal muscle strain.

This could occur post-cold or illness with coughing, direct trauma to the area, sudden twisting/ rotation in the body or even lifting etc.

We strongly recommend getting your thoracic spine and ribs assessed properly by a musculoskeletal expert before trying these exercises to determine the working diagnosis as other treatments may be more appropriate and required to help initially.

In the video Louise demonstrates:
1. The typical signs and symptoms of an intercostal muscle strain
2. How to add heat to the area
3. How to mobilise the thoracic spine & ribs
4. How to release the diaphragm
