RibCage Chest Problem

[keesjansma3]

Hi. how are you all?

I have a little problem and thats why I
turn to this board.

My left side (I'm left btw) of my ribcage
is slightly more to the front than the right one.

Others dont see it untill I point them the differences, but I do
and it really iritates me because my chest consists of two different parts instead
of two equal parts.

They would have been the same if I hadn't these differences in the sides of my ribcage.

Also because of that theres a slight dip in the middle of my chest which is very anoying to me.

I have tried dumbell pullovers with only my right hand to expand the right side
of my ribcage as much the left side but I didnt get any improvement at all.
It seems that they don't work.... or at least not the way I did them.

My question for you is, do you know of any methods I can use to equalize both parts?
And do other people have/had this problem and did you solve it?

Please let me know....

Best regards

Spine?

I am not an expert but it doesn't sound like an issue of muscle development to me so much as skeletal alignment. Have you seen a chiropractor about it? If you have a twist to your spine, I could see it having that effect, in which case a chiropractor or skilled therapeutic yoga teacher could proscribe exercises to work on that.

Good luck,

Thank you very much for your answer wdp8.

Finally I have a lead to search on. Thanks very much for the info.

I am very interested in where I can find these yoga excersizes.
Could you point me to it?

I dont know much about the different ribcages left to right, but my chest muscles are not 100% symetrical in shape either.
