84 | Slipping Ribs?! Is That Really What's Happening? - a podcast by Jen Esquer & Dom Fraboni

Are you feeling excruciating pain around the ribs? Have you been or know anyone diagnosed with slipped ribs? Doc Jen & Dr. Dom begin the conversation by talking into the ribcage and addressing the fear that commonly surrounds diagnostic verbiage, particularly with the use of “slipped” in this context. They explore the literature around the cause of “slipped” ribs, as well as the role and information imaging provides when receiving a referral from a physiotherapist, a medical diagnosis, or a differential diagnosis. By going back to the basics, they provide you with exercises and tips to help you establish support, safety, and stability in the body, ultimately easing and addressing the nervous system systemically. They highlight the significance of listening and addressing your bodily cues, as well as patterning to provide feedback for the nervous system. Dive in to learn more and feel empowered as you drive the internal change your body is craving!
