If your ribs are out of alignment, it can cause pain and discomfort. There are a few ways to realign your ribs yourself, but it's best to see a doctor or chiropractor for help.
One way to realign your ribs is by lying on your back on a flat surface. Place your hands on either side of your body and slowly lift your torso off the ground, using your arms for support. Hold this position for 30 seconds before lowering yourself back down. Repeat this 10 times.
Another way to realign your ribs is by sitting in a chair with good posture. Slouching in a chair can actually worsen rib misalignment, so make sure you're sitting up straight. Place one hand on your stomach and the other behind your head, then twist your torso to the right as far as you can comfortably go without moving your hips. Hold for 30 seconds before returning to center and repeat on the left side. Do this 10 times total.
If you're having trouble realigning your ribs or if the pain persists, see a doctor or chiropractor for help.
