Can abdominal breathing improve rib flare?

Abdominal breathing can assist in improving rib ectropion but cannot be used as a primary treatment.
If rib ectropion is present, abdominal breathing can be enhanced as an adjunctive treatment. You need to lie on your back with your legs slightly bent, and intentionally make your abdomen bulge when you breathe. Through this action can drive the abdominal muscle contraction, improve the strength of abdominal muscles, so as to improve the condition of rib ectropion to a certain extent, there is a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect.
However, it cannot be used as the main treatment. Rib ectropion may be related to congenital developmental abnormality, trauma and other factors, and those with severe ectropion still need to actively seek medical treatment and evaluate the possibility of surgical treatment. Surgery is the most thorough treatment.
It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions.
