How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep 2.0
This
is an improved version of the first one. A very thin pillow shall be placed
over the circle to the right where the head shall be placed. One should try to
sleep as much as possible on the back to keep the upper back in correct
position. This will help to fix the kyphosis related to pectus excavatum and
make the sternum to lift a little every night. To be sure that it is done correctly
one can put one hand on the upper back while lying down. The upper back shall
be lifted up a little so that the curvature disappears. I sleep the whole night in
this type of bed, as much as possible on the back. My kyphotic spine is almost
gone after this implementation and my sternum does not fall back during the
night.

Thank you for everything you do to help us. The doctors only say : " there is nothing to do and if it's too deep you need and operation (which costs too much money)". I was about ti give up because there was not enough information on the internet, although I still believed that it can be self repaired. Then I accidentally found your site. NOBODY has done that much to help people like you and me . I would like to thank you again for all that you have done and all that you keep doing.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to tell me a little bit more on how to lift the upper back properly. I would be very grateful if you can upload a picture on your improved "How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep 2.0" bed table ( if I can call it so ) so that I can see exactly what I should make to sleep on. Thank you !
ReplyDeleteI am sorry if i have made any mistakes while typing, I am not an Englishman.
Wow this is a great site! I have been working on this since 1999! I am 41 this year and still making improvement (albeit still backsliding at times from sleeping wrong) A few months ago it was the best it was ever, and I was sleeping without a pillow. Since starting a pillow again it's been backsliding. Love this site, and love the fact that there are older people still working at it with success. Chris
