The 'Internal Bra' Screws Its Straps Onto Your Rib Cage. by Ashley Fern. May 7, 2014. Stocksy. Is this a joke? The latest in plastic surgery is an internal bra procedure -- yes, seriously.

Coastguard teams recover a floating plastic rib cage from the water off Southsea after reports of a body in the water.

According to Stallard and Raspanti, TARP allows surgeons to implant a permanent steel band on the inside of the rib cage. The band stabilizes the fracture and allows the broken bone to heal quickly.

By improving mid-back (thoracic spine) and rib cage mobility, you can enhance your ability to rotate, alleviate pain and move through life with greater ease and lower risk of injury.
