All four Ribcage Stabilization variations use the same springload range?

All four Ribcage Stabilization variations use the same springload range?

• A. Only #1 and #2
• B. #2 and #4
• C. All four
• D. #1 and #4

Answer: (C)

Maintaining a constant springload across all ribcage stabilization variations keeps the focus on technique, alignment, and breath rather than on changing resistance. When the same range of spring tension is used, the demand on the core and ribcage muscles stays steady, so differences between variations reflect changes in stabilization strategy—like rib cage position, scapular control, or thoracic extension—without confounding load. This consistency lets you compare control and proprioception across variations and progress by refining precision rather than by adding or removing resistance. If springs varied, one variation could feel harder or easier for reasons unrelated to stabilization quality, muddying the assessment. That's why all four variations use the same springload range.
