Hey there ! It may be due to several reasons such as rib malalignment, slipping rib syndrome, postural asymmetry, scoliosis, or muscle imbalance around the thoracic region. Sometimes, muscle tightness or weakness can make one side of the rib cage appear more prominent.
Next Steps
Book a consultation with me for Postural correction exercises • Thoracic mobilization (gentle manual or self-mobilization) • Diaphragmatic breathing to improve rib movement • Pectoral stretching & thoracic rotation exercises • Scapular stabilization (wall slides, retraction exercises) • Core and back strengthening to balance rib cage alignment
