Rib cage mobility and mid back pain

May 08, 20261 min read

Your rib cage could secretly behind your mid-back pain, breathing struggles, or pelvic floor tension. This video breaks down how rib cage width and mobility affect your entire body and shows you exactly how to fix it with one simple rowing technique.

🔬 THE KEY PRINCIPLES
Your rib cage shape, whether too narrow, too wide, or asymmetrical, directly impacts how you breathe, move, and feel. Dr. Christina demonstrates a modified cable row that targets the shoulder blade first, not the bicep, to restore rib cage mobility one side at a time. Works for narrow, wide, and uneven rib cages.

✅ YOU SHOULD FEEL
The work in your shoulder blade, the side of your rib cage, and your obliques. Not your bicep taking over or one side feeling completely disconnected.
