Fix The Two Types of Rib Flares With These Two Exercises

Rebuild Blueprint: https://www.resilientedu.com/rebuild-... Rib flare is one of the most common postural issues I see, and most people try to fix it the wrong way. In this video, I break down why rib flare actually happens and why it can show up on one side or both sides of the body. I explain how asymmetries, rotation, tension, and center of mass all play a role, and how rib position directly affects shoulder mobility, pelvic position, breathing, and where people feel tension. I walk you through two specific exercises I use to address each type of rib flare. One for people who flare on a single side and lose rotation, and one for people who flare on both sides and live in an extended, over-arched position. These are not random drills. Each exercise is chosen to restore rotation, reduce tension, and bring the rib cage back into a more stacked, usable position. If you are a coach, clinician, or someone dealing with stubborn posture or shoulder issues, this will help you understand what to look for and how to program more effectively.
