There are many acupoints along the ribs on both sides. By stimulating them through acupuncture, the arteries, veins, and nerves running between the ribs can be adjusted, thereby regulating the movement of the thorax, adjusting the thoracic cavity space, and consequently adjusting the pressure on the internal organs?
