Hi Princess, if there are certain moves or positions that really tweak it, it’s probably muscular. These things can take a while to heal, especially if you keep aggravating it. However, if it feels like it’s internal, you really should see a doctor ASAP. It may just be your diaphragm muscle cramping, but you should make sure it’s not anything serious.

I have been dealing with localized rib pain (one spot about the size of my finger tip) from trying to strengthen my one-arm press-up on Chinese pole. Only a very narrow range of movement aggravates it. One-arm skin-the-cat is fine in most positions. But reversing my flag circle really nails it. This isn’t the kind of thing most sports medicine doctors have seen, so I haven’t had much luck with treatment besides rest. Maybe someone from Cirque is familiar with this?
