Diaphragmatic breathing step 1: sit upright in a chair and place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your abdomen. Step 2: inhale slowly and focus on pushing your stomach into your hand. Try to make sure your upper hand remains motionless. Step 3: tighten your stomach muscles as you exhale slowly do not lift, wherever possible, and avoid strenuous exercise. Chest infections are a very common problem after minor rib injuries. It is vital that at least five minutes of deep breathing exercises are undertaken every hour while the pain persists to try to avoid an infection.
