It's easy to treat the intercostals. Run your opposite hand finger tip between your ribs. Press in deeply and feel for a painful point that may even feel like a bump under your finger tip. If you find one (or more) just press and hold for 60 seconds, then continue holding while you take in a long, slow, breath. Then look for more points.
Eventually you can then start to gently stretch the intercostals by raising the arm of the side you are stretching over your head and then extending this side to the opposite.
