Evaluation from bone markers:

The normal rib angle is 90 degrees. If it is greater than 90, the more serious the rib valgus will be (of course, the smaller the better. If it is less than 60, the internal organs will be easily squeezed. If the member wants to thin belly, the rib angle can have obvious effect when it is about 60, of course, it depends on the member's own situation)

Causes of rib eversion:

① Congenital dysplasia of skeletal ligaments (such as soft connective tissue)

(2) Excessive chest hugging (excessive protrusion of the thoracolumbar segment, compression of the back of the spine, and valgus of the front ribs). Excessive chest lifting in fitness often occurs in the wrong way of exercise, such as dumbbell barbell pushing shoulders.

③ The wrong way of breathing (lifting rib contour) and rib eversion are mutually causal. For example, a person's breathing pattern is wrong, which leads to rib eversion, and then the rib eversion is more serious because of the wrong breathing pattern of rib eversion.

④ Female pregnancy leads to rib eversion, and reproductive hormones during pregnancy open the lower corner of ribs. If the pregnant mother's connective tissue is not flexible enough and does not recover well before and after delivery, it is likely to lead to rib eversion during pregnancy.

The above are the common causes of rib eversion, of course, there are many other reasons that will not be listed here.

What changes and injuries will rib eversion cause to posture;

First of all, our internal organs are connected with the abdominal wall of the vertebral body by ligaments, fascia and other tissues. Eversion of ribs will lead to insufficient tissue tension around viscera, which is prone to visceral drooping and affect visceral function.

(2) As mentioned above, rib eversion and wrong breathing mode are mutually causal, and the abdominal core muscles are mainly used for breathing. The wrong breath is generally worth the wrong chest breath, the core muscles can not be exercised, and the people with valgus ribs generally have poor core. The breathing pattern is disordered, and the wrong breathing pattern has far-reaching influence on body and mind.

③ People with everted ribs have poor core muscles, diaphragm is often in a non-working state, sympathetic nerves are easily excited, and emotions are prone to tension and anxiety.

④ People with everted ribs mainly use incorrect chest breathing in the process of life and exercise, so they are likely to show pain, such as lower back pain at the junction of chest and waist, shoulder and neck pain and so on.

⑤ When the ribs are everted due to excessive chest hugging, the curvature of the thoracic vertebrae is generally too straight, and the scapula is abnormal, so the inner edge of the scapula is prone to pain.

Processing ideas:

(1) The rib valgus point should first consider the back of the thoracolumbar segment, and open the back space first, so that the rib angle can be reduced.

② Manipulation is always the fastest and most direct means, and the angle of ribs is reduced by manipulation.

③ Push the whole rib down to the back through breathing and manipulation.

? ④ Activate diaphragm, intercostal muscle and abdominal muscle to make them work normally (key point).

⑤ Let the brain produce the correct recruitment order for muscles.

⑥ Strengthen abdominal muscle exercise.

I adjust the specific method of rib eversion:

① Relax the back muscles with your hands.

② Correct reverse breathing.

? ③ Release the whole core muscle group and fascia in the chest position.

? (4) cooperate with breathing to lower the ribs downward and inward.

? ⑤ At the joint of thoracic rib and sternoclavicular joint, the anteversion position is reduced by joint adjustment, and the adjustment of rib valgus is consolidated.

? ⑥ Establish correct abdominal breathing and start diaphragm function.

? ⑦ Practice intercostal breathing.

? 8 Train the upper abdominal muscles.

(The above is my specific practice, and generally you can see remarkable results in one class. )

Note: If the shoulder is round, you need to adjust the shoulder, relax and stretch the pectoralis minor by hand, and relax the pectoralis major according to the situation.

If the exercise mode is wrong, the flexibility of upper thoracic spine and hip joint extension should also be improved.
