My Rib Hurts. What Should I Do? Concierge Physical Therapy for Rib Pain (New York City)

My Rib Hurts. What Should I Do? Concierge Physical Therapy for Rib Pain (New York City)

Picture

Rib pain can be a debilitating condition that affects the quality of life of those who suffer from it.

It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions. While there are many treatment options available, physical therapy can be an effective way to manage the symptoms of rib pain.

Research has shown that physical therapy and being treated by a doctor of physical therapy can be an effective way to manage rib pain.

A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that manual therapy, which involves hands-on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and joints, can be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with rib pain (1).

Another study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that exercise therapy can be effective in improving rib mobility and reducing pain in patients with rib pain (2).

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we use the most modern and up-to-date treatment approaches for rib pain. Our doctors of physical therapy are experts in rib pain and trained in the latest techniques and have experience working with patients with rib pain.

One of the approaches we use for rib pain is manual therapy.
Our physical therapists use hands-on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and joints surrounding the affected area. Manual therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in patients with rib pain. We also use exercise therapy to help improve rib mobility and reduce pain. Our physical therapists develop a personalized exercise program that takes into account the specific needs and goals of each patient. Exercise therapy can help improve muscle strength and flexibility, which can reduce pain and improve function.

Another approach to treat rib pain is kinesiotaping.
Your doctor of physical therapy may deem it necessary to apply temporary tape over your rib issue to decrease skin and soft tissue tension. This typically provides you with pain relief and more range of motion.

Additional rib pain treatment may be diaphragmatic breathing.
Our clients with rib pain may have discomfort or apprehension with taking deep, full breaths.  That results in the client getting used to taking short, shallow breaths.  Your doctor of physical therapy may help you get re-educated on proper rib cage expansion, specifically lateral expansion, while you're sitting upright or possibly lying down on your back with your knees bent up.  In combination with the above treatment approaches, its important to reestablish deep, full breaths that help with restoring normal rib movement, and is crucial before returning to exercise or sports. 

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we believe in a patient-centered approach to care. We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account their specific needs and goals.

Our goal is to help each patient manage their rib pain and improve their quality of life. If you or a loved one is living with rib pain, physical therapy can be an effective way to manage the condition.
