To perform first rib mobilization with a strap:

1. Put a belt or strap right at the bend of your neck. With the same side hand, grab the strap behind you. Then grab the strap in the front with your opposite hand and hold it on the opposite side like you are putting on a seatbelt.
2. While bending your head to the side and slightly rotating it towards the side of the rib, take a deep breath, and then pull downwards with both hands as you are breathing out.
