Description: Fixing Flared Ribs to heal DR

Alex Vigil

You’re so knowledgeable! I can’t wait to learn more from you and not only feel stronger but be more aligned with my body and have it functioning as it should.

Jessica

Becky

I don’t think I have rib flare anymore post-partum but I’m eager to do anything that’ll help my poor post-4th baby (and 9th pregnancy… Eesh) abs come back together!

Katrina Wilhoite

I have functional DR which is great but a 105 degree angle to my ribs so I need to follow this closely

Ashley Powell

Can’t wait to start to heal! Such great tips!

Kellie

Paria

Very knowledgeable!! I always wondered why my left side rib poked out!

Lexi

Jasmine

It’s so exciting to learn all the ways to help heal correctly postpartum!

Kharlena

Learning something new, I felt like I had flared ribs before pregnancy is that a thing?

Norma

Feeling great! Loving the breathing exercises and trying to remind myself to fix my posture since I slouch A LOT! Thank you ❤️

Claudia

Misty

Great info! 7 mo postpartum and I’ve realized in the past month just my left rib is flared and left hip is tight. Not sure how I got so off balance but need it fixed.

Erin

Super helpful! I didn’t even know this was a thing!! Questions though, how many of each type of stretch would you recommend starting with? Also, how long would you suggest focusing on this before moving on to the core strengthening movements or can they both be done together? Thanks so much!!

Tiari

Wow! Knowledge is power. Thank you Hannah for making it easy and accessible to to learn and visually see all the ways to aid postpartum. 🙏🤍

Stephanie

This is blowing my mind. 2 years postpartum but have always had flared ribs since childhood, even at peak fitness, and my abs had always been the weakest point!

Sarah

I really enjoy these postpartum workouts. Having a c section was rough and I’m almost 4 months postpartum but just now getting okay with movement beyond breathing. It’s so hard. This helps! Thank you. 😊

Lindsay

Very well explained! Can’t wait to see my results

Lizet Mares

I love that you address posture! As a new mom I find myself gripping my glutes or pushing my ribs out to compensate for how I’m holding my son. I have been working on being more mindful so this was a perfect reminder! I also appreciate the stretches! I know I have right hip flexors and back muscles so it’s perfect to see how to stretch those out!

Nadine

Flared ribs pull the linea outward causing constant tension. This outward tension inhibits your gap to close ( rectus abdominus to come together) preventing healing of the connective tissue or functionality.

Almost two weeks postpartum and I am itching to get back into your videos!

Brittney

3 weeks postpartum! Glad I did random bits of breathwork the last 3 weeks (without watching this lol) but glad to do other things

Chelsea

I love that this gives a place to start postpartum

Jorie

First 2 weeks PP Recap!

this section really made the connection for me between linking breathing correctly with the proper engagement.

Janice

It felt great, however I wish the videos you were talking through it.

You are a wealth of knowledge 👌
I wish I knew all this 14 years ago when I started having kids

Ashley

Kolbi

Great explanation with different examples of what it should feel like while engaging your core

Brittany

Engaging the core correctly

Didn’t know it was possible to feel this amazing post partum. Thank you for these so much. ESP the thoracic tilts

Alexandra

Lexie Hattaway

This was amazing! I’m constantly hunched over to breastfeed (even with propping my baby on a boppy!), and this felt so good.

Krysti

Breastfeeding stretches- opening up the thoracic spine

Feels good to get back into moving my body at 8 weeks pp!

Lacey

First day working out. Goal is for consistency. Baby boy is a year now. Feels good.

Cassie

I’ve been using this as part of my warm up! 8 weeks postpartum and trying to get back into it

Kassandra Soto

2.5 weeks PP rehab

Emily

Who knew stretching during pp recovery would feel this good!

Sara

3 week PP stretching

Great progressive advice as I gain confidence post partum, thanks Hannah

Alex

I am almost 6 weeks postpartum and man those planks and half planks really showed me where I am! But nice 10 min rehab!

Anika

3 weeks PP- core rehab

My first all the way through session with the newest addition. Trying to carve out time with 2 under 2! Thank you!

4 weeks PP and these feel amazing! Thank you for putting these workouts together to help mamas recover ❤️

Sabrina Miller

Week 4 Rehab

Is it common for being mindful of your breaths is the most difficult component of the workout?
