Rib pain
Rib pain can significantly impact daily activities. Moving, breathing deeply, coughing, exercising, or twisting can feel painful or restricted.
At Fysio Roode in Berghem, we investigate the source of your complaints and determine the best treatment for your situation.
Do you recognize these symptoms?
Rib pain can be experienced in different ways:
- Stinging or nagging pain
- Pain when breathing or coughing
- Pain when turning or moving
- A stiff or tense feeling around the chest or back
- Pain during sports or daily activities
The cause of rib complaints can vary. Sometimes complaints arise from overuse, prolonged coughing, or a sports injury. Restricted movement of the ribs or spine can also play a role.
