[Intercostals.]

One of my favorite cupping techniques is to cup rib cages. This is great for anyone with problems turning their body or stretching sideways...but I love it because as an asthmatic, it helps my diaphragm and intercostals to release. For me it often feels like those seize up and are tight. I see many patients who are grabbing their sides complaining of pain in their side or along the lattisimus dorsi muscles. When I cup them they feel such relief after. But I like it because when you have the feeling like you can’t breathe well, which is so common for asthmatics, it’s profound relief to get the rib cage cupped. The diaphragm and intercostals seem to loosen and relax and it’s easier to breathe. Sometimes people have both asthma and problems turning so I needle the lattisimus dorsi, cup the intercostals, and needle GB26, and distal points GB41 & TW5 which relate to problems along the side of the body. If you have spasms and cramps when you turn your torso, or problems breathing well, acupuncture and cupping can bring relief. .
