A member asked:
My daughter plays competitive soccer. was fine yesterday then reached upwards with her arm and now has rib pain. could this just be torn cartilage?

NO probable muscle: It is very common to injury some of the muscles in between the ribs especially if you over stretch. "cartilage" in the surface between wo bones where they move.
