Rib Pain

Rib pain

Our rib cage is a very complicated structure, made up of twelve pairs of ribs, multiple joints and with muscles between the ribs, with other muscles attaching onto the rib cage, joining the upper and lower parts of the body. Rib joints should be mobile enough to enable us to twist and breathe, and need to be nicely aligned for posture and good muscle activation.

Rib joint pain

This pain in the back of the rib cage is caused by stiffness in the joints where the ribs join the spine (the costovertebral joints). Can usually be helped with soft tissue work and joint mobilising.

Pain in the front of the ribs

Pain in the front of the ribs or costochondral pain, is inflammation of the joint where the ribs attach to the cartilage at the front of the rib cage and then to the sternum. Can usually be helped with joint mobilisations, soft tissue work and postural realignment.

How do we help you get back on the road to recovery?

Here at CSPC we treat your rib and thoracic pain by assessing the way you move and the mobility and alignment of your rib cage, back and pelvis. If the physiotherapist feels there is something that needs medical attention, they will advise you on this.

The physiotherapist will take a thorough case history and work out the best plan for you. Treatment can include

love CSPC Physiotherapy

"Amazing physios! I started coming here when they were located in Leeds Met. Now moved out to a new building by the Village gym/hotel. Every physio I have seen has been nothing short of amazing.....very knowledgeable and always seem to fix the problem!"

"Rose came highly recommended to me from a sports therapist who was also a high level athlete. She clearly cares about getting her patients back to full health ASAP. She kindly reviewed a list of my injuries prior to booking anything with her so she could appropriately advise on who i should see. From my brief conversation with her i could tell she cared and had extensive knowledge about biomechanics and getting to the root cause of the problem."

"I was attended to by Louisa who was great . She was very thorough and methodical in getting to the root of my problem and gave me effective treatment. At the end of my treatment I was given a plan to follow. There was no pressure to book a follow up appointment either. I would definitely recommend to anyone contemplating going. My only regret is that I did not go earlier."

"Absolutely the best practice I’ve been to. Extremely experienced and expert physiotherapists. Particularly the folks who’ve worked with British Triathlon and elite athletes. Very happy with the expertise, treatment and longer mire valuable sessions. A very refreshing and reassuring approach to care"
