Rib injuries are some of the most difficult types of injuries to treat.
They hinder pretty much every aspect of movement and have a tendency to get re-injured easily and also tend to linger due to frequent re-injury.

Here are my 8 tips that will help speed up your recovery and get you back on the mats and back to normal life safely and with less risk of re-injury.

Here are some of the links to videos referenced:

The post 8 Tips To A Quicker Recovery From Rib Injuries appeared first on jitseasy.

Rib injuries are one of the toughest and most difficult injuries to recover from.

The ribs are effected by and also impact so many other areas of the body and the lack of mobility and strength in this area can really limit performance and can lead to future injuries.

In this video, I take you through one of my favorite and in my opinion an extremely beneficial and effective exercise sequence to help with improving movement and strength.

This is a solid technique for a warm-up exercise or a rehab technique.

2-3 sets of 10 repetitions

I received a question on Reddit asking about how to alleviate recurrent rib injuries and muscle pulls from BJJ. The intercostal muscles (muscle between the ribs) are constantly in motion as they allow for the ribs to expand and contract with breathing and help with some stability between the ribs. These muscle can get irritated and then have a tedency to be re-irritated frequently. A dynamic warm up to help with blood flow and allow the muscles to get some light and comfortable movement will assist with reducing tightness, pain, and getting the area generally primed for more vigorous activity. Try these 4 quick exercises/warm-ups to get your body set to train.
