Physiotherapy for Costochondritis (Chest Wall Pain)
Do you feel sharp pain near your breastbone when taking a deep breath or coughing? Is your chest tender when you press on it? Does the pain worsen with certain movements but improve with rest? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for chest wall pain? Once serious heart and lung conditions have been ruled out by a doctor, physiotherapy may help relieve costochondritis.
Why Does Costochondritis Occur?
Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. It may develop after repetitive upper body movements, prolonged coughing, poor posture, or muscle strain. The pain can mimic heart-related discomfort, making proper medical evaluation essential.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain and restoring normal chest and upper body movement. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Gentle chest mobility exercises
β’ Stretching tight chest muscles
β’ Postural correction
β’ Breathing exercises
β’ Manual therapy when appropriate
What You Can Try at Home
Maintain good posture, avoid activities that aggravate the pain, perform gentle stretches, and gradually return to normal activities as symptoms improve.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy to reduce chest wall pain, improve mobility, and help you breathe and move comfortably.
