"Muscle Energy of the Ribs" is an Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine technique used to treat dysfunctional ribs.[1][2]
When treating each rib with muscle energy, assistance with local muscles is elicited as follows:

Look straight ahead and lift head anterior |
| 2 | Posterior scalenes | Turn head 30 degrees away and lift anterior | |
| 3-5 | Pectoralis minor |  |
Push ipsilateral elbow towards opposite ASIS. |
| 6-9 | Serratus Anterior |  |
Push arm anteriorly |
| 10-11 | Latissimus dorsi |  |
