Use this myofascial release technique to open up the side bodies for deeper breathing. You can do this technique with your fingers or thumb. Avoid the floating ribs and keep the pressure gentle enough that you don’t feel any pain – tenderness is okay as long as you can breathe into it.
This is the last video in our series focused on stretches and myofascial release techniques targeting the muscles along the ribs. All of these videos are available as Shorts on our YouTube channel: @fireflycommunity.
Try these techniques this week and see how you feel. Are you able to take deeper, fuller breaths after one or more of these practices? Start gently, and back off if you experience pain.
I’ll keep sharing tidbits I learned in the Myofascial Release Course I took this month. I’ll also be selling RAD myofascial release tools soon, so stay tuned for more information.
I hope you found these videos helpful.
