Uneven rib cage
My right side rib is 2-3 cm outward than left side. Is this normal or it is some posture disorder? Can it be corrected by doing gym?

Hi,
What makes you say your rib is outward?
Does it give you any symptoms or visibly it looks different?
There are higher chances that due to postural reasons you might feel the rib is out
Posture can be corrected if it's not since birth

this problem could be postural, secondary to spinal deformity which you cannot see or due to some vitamin deficiency. It needs to be worked up. Going to gym is least likely to correct this. A careful examination along with blood and radiological investigations can diagnose the issue and help in treatment
