Flat Feet, Elevated Heels and Pectus Excavatum


My theory about flat feet and pectus excavatum: The cause of extremely flat feet is genetics and elevated heels (in most cases). I am sure about it. Since I stopped wearing shoes that lifts up the human heel there have been a dramatic change of my feet. The feet have become much higher and increased in width. The perimeter right above the feet has increased by around 4 cm and the feet have been lifted up on the middle just by walking (no specific training).

I believe that there is a connection between flat feet and pectus excavatum. Flat feet is caused by high mobility in the foot and pectus excavatum is caused by high mobility in the thorax. The connective tissue that binds and holds together the bones and muscles are very soft in both these cases.

Why do ordinary shoes make the feet flattened? When the heel is elevated the pressure on the forefoot will increase dramatically and cause a tension in the foot and make them a little longer, thinner, less in width, and more flattened. People with flat feet should put more of the weight on the heels and the opposite side to the arch by lower them to the ground. Barefoot/zero drop shoes will make that happen. Based on my experience, I can make the following conclusion: I believe that ordinary shoes can cause problems in the whole body because every single part of it will be more or less affected.

                                         
1. The perimeter in this area: +4 cm.
2. My feet have started to develop an arch.
3 .The big toe is pointing almost completely forward (not to the side).

How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep 3.0


This latest sleeping-strategy is simply a combination of the first and the second one (both available on my blog). A chronological combination of them which I have tested for a while and it has proved to be outstanding the most effective way and my new record is 5 mm. My last published improvement record before this one was 9 mm. But I must say that it is quite difficult to keep the sternum at this new record. It depends a lot on how much I am up on the feet (without ordinary shoes). If it is possible to reach full correction (?) of course I don’t know but I’ll try but anyway it feels great to know that I have full control over my sternum at the moment and I can say that I have reached 90% correction (will soon publish a new picture).

To be clear:
First “How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep” as described (skip step 3) and then directly (the same night) “How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep 2.0”. These together I call “How to Lift Your Sternum During Sleep 3.0”. I believe them to be of significant value to make dramatic improvements to PE.

The first one can be found here and the second one is here.
