Can Vigorous Swimming And Gymnastics Cause Muscle Damaged In Ribs?

Hi my daughter is 10years old and has damaged the muscles in between her ribs on both sides. She does a lot of swimming and gymnastics and I presume either or both of these sports has caused this. I hv been to our own gp who has prescribed Brufen and paracetamol, this pain has been with her now from the end of February. Can you recommend anything to help???

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
I have understood your concern, see this is known as recurrent overuse spasm of intercostal muscles. yes it's due to vigorous exercise only, we can do many things for that, initial apply ice for 2days ask. her to take some rest. then apply analgesic cream at the time of sleep. medication will work temporary and so we can apply warm water application and ice repeated ly. you can go to physical therapist and take treatment of ultrasound and IFT to reduce pain instantly. you may take Ayurveda treatment in the form of sudarshan ghanvati tab. which doesn't have any side effects and will relive pain. I hope you have satisfied with this answer.
