This is one of my favorite techniques to improve rib expansion. Simple yet powerful. Follow the ribs down after a full exhale, hold them in as they take a deep slow breath in. Also you can have them visualize expanding the contralateral lung like a balloon. This helps push more air into the restricted side and should improve rib and unilateral trunk mobility in addition to shoulder overhead motion. The patient can then work on their own breathing and rib expansion with some light palpation and PNF type guidance. Are you a patient in need of my help?
