New Effective Exercise for Pectus Excavatum

This exercise is a “light weight exercise” and it helps to recover the back (both the muscles and the spine). I have found this one to be very important. I call this one:

Kyphosis Fixer for PE

 

1.       Grab for example two rocks with a weight around 1.5 kg each and try to lie down on the stomach with the hands along the side.

2.       Lift your upper body a few centimeters from the floor so that you can feel a little pressure on the flared ribs and look forward as the picture shows. At the same time: Lift the arms so that they touch each other.

       3.    Repeat many times (10 reps, 2-3 sets).

 

Here you can find another very good "light weight exercise" that lifts the sternum out: http://pectusexcavatumrevolutionblog.blogspot.se/2013/10/light-weight-exercise-for-pe-sternum.html

Pectus Excavatum (PE) 90% Improved No Surgery

The depth in this photo is around 5 mm even though it may look a little deeper. It is because I have made quite a lot of incline pushups during the last months so that the chest muscles have grown (muscles+PE=1.5 cm). It is no longer possible to make measurements the same way I did earlier because of that. It looked so much worse just a few years ago so for me it is a huge improvement even though I have seen people with less noticeable PE gone surgery. I will not do that. Instead I will continue and see if it is possible to improve it even more. My belly is also a little fatty. It is much easier to gain weight now since my condition has been improved (around 90%).

 

 

Thorax Rotation Syndrome 1 and 2

Thorax Rotation Syndrome 1 and 2 are the working titles that I have put on what causes pectus excavatum (1) and pectus carinatum (2). These working titles are a part of my complete theory. The pictures below shows what has happened in the body in these cases (PE and PC). It is also possible to get a combination of these conditions which will result in flared ribs and protruding sternum.

The difference between PE and PC is that in the case of PE the whole thorax rotates while in the case of PC only the upper part of the thorax rotates which will make the sternum to move the opposite way compared to excavatum. Basically; a stronger abdominal area in people with carinatum will force the rotation to take place higher up in the chest.
