A member asked:
When i bend down forward i feel like right ribs move or something. i lightly pushed one of the last few ribs on right side of back and it went forward a little. i felt it move when i pushed it. left ribs dont really feel like that. is this normal ?

Rib moving : Ribs can move normally. Feeling an individual rib move independently is not normal. I would start with your primary care doctor. I suggest you see an osteopathic doctor with specialty in rehabilitation
