I’ve had chronic costochondritis with correlating thoracic spine pain for the better half of a decade. I’ve managed to cope better with the variable pain from day to day, but I haven’t found any kind of cure that gets rid of it, either. I also have torsional upper cross syndrome on my right side, which is the side of my worst costosternal pain. It took years to develop, and takes even longer to try and undo. Targeted strength training for my upper & mid back, along with stretching the shortened muscles, has helped make slow progress on fixing my shoulder, which is noticeably rolled forward and triggers my costo pain.
I use the following devices at home to open up the chest area & prevent bad posture that exacerbates the costosternal pain:

Theracane. This won't make her work easier but it's a must have for a lot of therapists to work on themselves. I love mine and it gets into the spots I can't reach for myself.
