A member asked:
Effective stretches for strained pectoral/intercostal muscle? injury occurred 3+weeks ago. pain is back after light workout not involving chest.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest/sports med eval: Pain after workout not involving chest likely from increased respiratory volume (deeper breathing) that occurs during exercise. A physical therapist can give you specific stretches/core strengthening to decrease symptoms, promote healing, and prevent recurrence. If it persists, see a sports medicine physician.
