Hello,
When muscles are weak then there is the formation of trigger points. the lower part of ribs is the most common site. You should walk daily. Start with the distance you are comfortable and then increase gradually till you start walking 4kms at a stretch.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
