This gentle Ortho-Bionomy® self-care sequence teaches positional release for the breastbone (sternum) to help relieve chest tightness, improve ribcage mobility, and support lymphatic drainage in the upper body. By finding a comfortable position and allowing the body to guide the movement, the proprioceptive nervous system resets, releasing tension in the intercostal muscles, fascia, and front ribcage naturally—without force.

A sternum release can:
✅ Ease tenderness at the breastbone and upper ribs
✅ Improve breathing comfort and chest expansion
✅ Support lymphatic flow and immune function
✅ Reduce upper body tension and calm the nervous system

You’ll learn how to use a positional release technique to open the chest, soften the sternum-rib connection, and encourage natural lymphatic drainage.

These movements are especially helpful for:
• Recovery from illness or lymphatic congestion
• Relieving rib pain at the sternum joint
• Improving posture and breath awareness
• Releasing emotional tension held in the chest

Repeat this breastbone positional release any time you notice tightness in the chest, shallow breathing, or a need for gentle lymphatic support.
