  • Examine standing posture-Anterior sway/ Sway back posture is linked to thoracic kyphosis and reduced rib cage expansion and diaphragmatic breathing.
  • Examine Sitting posture- Cervical/Thoracic/ Lumbar posture- Look for forward head position/thoracic kyphosis/ scoliosis/ poor static scapula positioning
  • Measure costochondral angle of rib cage-should be 90 degrees-less than 90 can affect lower rib expansion.
