This gentle Ortho-Bionomy® self-care practice focuses on releasing tension where the ribs meet the breastbone (sternum). These points not only influence breathing and posture but also play an important role in supporting lymphatic flow through the chest and upper body. By finding comfort and gently supporting the body in its preferred position, the proprioceptive nervous system resets habitual holding patterns, allowing the ribcage to soften, breath to deepen, and lymphatic circulation to improve—naturally and without force.

✅ Relieves tenderness at the front of the ribcage
✅ Encourages freer, deeper breathing
✅ Supports lymphatic drainage and immune health
✅ Enhances rib and sternum mobility
✅ Calms the nervous system and reduces tension

Working with these breastbone points helps release the intercostal muscles and fascia of the chest, improving space for both breath and lymphatic movement.

✨ What You’ll Experience:
• Softer, more comfortable breath
• Improved lymphatic drainage from the chest area
• Release of tension patterns in the sternum and upper ribs
• Increased ribcage range of motion
• A subtle, whole-body sense of ease Use this practice anytime you feel tightness in the chest, shallow breathing, or lymphatic congestion—especially during recovery, stress, or after illness.
