Sloooowly roll down so the balls go up your back. Usually about 5-10 minutes. Take time at each painful place. It will either move back where it should, or relax the muscles to help with pain. I tend to do it two or three times in a day if the rib doesn't go back in. The first time will relax the muscles and a few more attempts will, but not always, get it. Check with your chiro to see if he doesn't mind. I go to two separate doc's and both promote it.
