Annoying injury

So I overdid some combination of judo, front tuck lever on ring, and shoulder lever with the bars. Now it feels as though all the muscles between my ribs have been strained - so pain when doing press-ups, and also when breathing deeply/coughing.

Obviously I stopped with the press ups :) and any exercise which caused pain there. But it's now been a problem for 2 weeks, and it's hard to tell if it's recovering .. or I'm just modifying movement to accommodate. It's hard to tell because it seems to be better on the breathing front, and at the same time worse for moving/doing things.

Are there any particular stretches or remedial exercises that could assist with healing?

Thanks,

Mark

If it is a minor strain stretched should be avoided until pain in normal days activity is completely gone, in your case breath.

It will take up to 1.5-2 months.

Okay, thanks for the advice.

It's terribly frustrating how much isn't possible while trying to take care of it.. but it's getting better slowly.
