Rib blockage
A rib blockage occurs when one or more ribs are restricted in their normal movement. This can lead to pain in the chest or back, which often occurs with certain movements or when breathing. It may feel as if something is blocked or pinched in the chest or back, causing discomfort and pain. Rib blockages can be caused by various factors such as muscle tension, injury or poor posture. With the right treatment, the ribs can be mobilised and the pain relieved.
How Calopad helps with rib blockage
The Calopad can provide relief from a blocked rib by applying soothing heat to the affected area. This heat therapy can help to relax the muscles around the blocked rib, relieve tension and improve blood circulation. This can relieve pain and discomfort associated with rib blockages, leading to greater comfort and improved mobility.
Various measures can be helpful to alleviate the symptoms of a rib blockage. Physiotherapy with special exercises and techniques can help to mobilise the affected ribs and relax the surrounding muscles.
