A member asked:
Why would a child's sternum hurt when doing push ups?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pec Muscles: The chest muscles are being worked with push ups which could be causing some pulling on the joint where the ribs/sternum come together which can cause pain. If it continues then i would recommend you find a do who can do manipulation and see if manipulating the ribcage will help the pain.
