Lower rib flare describes a posture where the lower ribs protrude forward relative to the abdomen and chest. This condition often results from imbalances in core musculature, breathing patterns, or skeletal alignment. The visibility and prominence of the lower ribs can vary significantly from person to person.
Addressing a flared rib posture can improve core stability, breathing mechanics, and overall body alignment. Optimal core function contributes to efficient movement and reduces the risk of injury. Furthermore, correcting this posture can positively impact aesthetics and promote a more streamlined torso appearance.
