Which muscles raise the ribs?

Answer 1

The pectoralis minor and the scalenes, directly raise the uppermost ribs. When these muscles relax, the force of gravity lowers them. The muscle groups used to move the Rib Cage, thus changing thoracic volume, are all in one big group called the Intercostals. There are three layers of intercostals. The External Intercostal raise the ribs up and out to increase thoracic volume. The Internal Intercostals depress the ribs down and in to decrease the thoracic volume. The Innermost Intercostals help the internal intercostals.
The Intercostal muscle

Actually it's the external intercostal muscle found on page 208 of 10th edition Lab Manual by Elaine N. Marieb.
The diaphragm located at the bottom of the lungs cause them to inflate and deflate. When inflated, that lungs which are located beneath the rib cage causes it to rise. When deflated, the lungs let the rib cage lower back to its rest position

Answer 2

Raising the ribcage is usually associated with breathing. The main muscles OS inspiration, which raise the ribcage are the; sternoceidomastoid, scalenes, pectoralis minor, and the external intercostals. The pectoralis major plays a smaller role as does the levator scapula, and the upper trapezius.

If you are giving a massage to a person with Asthma, it would be a good idea to address these muscles in your work, because they will tend to be fatigued from overwork during inhalation. This is what people living with chronic asthma have a difficult time doing.

Also, after addressing and relaxing these primary muscles, it would be a good idea to change the focus of the massage to a more nurturant and relaxing one, such as Swedish; this will help them extend the time between recurrence of bouts of asthma attacks.

A doctor's clearance is not usually necessary, but if they have frequent and severe asthma attacks, then it may be wise to consult with their doctor before prceeding.
