Hi

I woke up this morning a new man. I used to wake up tired and needed a gasp of air. I would wake up during the night, as well. I have done the exercise with the pillow last night. I haven’t counted reps or sets. I just stood there for a few minutes enjoying the feeling. I only got up to go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. I then got back to the pillow. The problem is almost gone and only after one day! It’s a miracle! It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing here. I can’t thank you enough. I know this helps you promote the video, so it’s the least I can do. Let’s hope this reaches as many people who need this as possible.

From someone who also pectus and weight trains, although I don’t have a very well built chest, it has gotten better over the years from being in the gym/ correcting my posture. The one thing that I’d like to tell everyone who has it is NO ONE NOTICES IT MORE THAN YOU DO. There’s been times when I’ve had my shirt off and bring up how my chest caves in but a lot of the time people don’t even notice it. Whether it’s because of the training or it genuinely not being that noticeable, just train consistently and be the best you can be. Surgery is cool if you can get it but training is the next best thing if not more important because you’ll establish more confidence by doing the journey rather than just skipping to the destination. KEEP GOING EVERYBODY, whether your chest gets better or not, you will feel so much better about yourself and your body once you see everything else improving.

Try doing exercises every day and maybe your headaches will disappear too (P.S. recommendation, do them in the morning so that you have "open" lungs during the day, I've been lazy these days and did them in the evening and I can slowly feel them coming back sometimes)

I have pretty significant excavatum, and when I started swimming competitively in highschool and through college I noticed a big reduction in the how visibly it affected my torso shape.

I haven't had stiff upper back even once after I learned some of your breathing strategies. Even though I've been training my upper back a lot and it used to result in headaches. Now I barely feel any need to stretch or "open" the upper back even after training. It was mind-blowing experience when my chest and upper back started becoming dynamic movers instead of rigid structure. I was shocked how much air can fit inside my body and my airways started to clear. My neck is not as stiff anymore either, not pushing as much. But the funniest thing was standing sideways to mirror and see the back expand like I suddenly grew slabs of muscle on spinal erectors or some other muscles. It looked like an athletes back the way it got so big.

That the whole problem was a twisted and tight hamstring that pulled and twisted my whole body for the last 2 years i have been streching it to all directions. And now i stand tall and my foot is not twisted and my belly button is actually facing forward

The sternum hurts a bit when you force it to pop out. It also hurts when it sinks inwards if you keep a crooked back for too long. In my opinion it looks pretty normal in the morning after keeping the back straight on a flat bed (I sleep without a pillow). In the evening it looks a little bit worse. I haven’t learned to keep a good posture through the day. But it definitely works. Just keep trying to find the best position. Think of what happens. Feel your rib cage from time to time, to see how it reacts to your breathing.

My mother used to worry about my health because there was not much space in my chest between my sternum and spine for my heart and lungs. A few years later I was strong and healthy. Running expand my lungs and chest from the inside and push ups strengthened my chest and shoulders. Sit ups also may have helped.

I watched this video out of curiosity but I started to try some of the drills really focusing on expanding the back of the rib cage and noticed that it was stretching an area of my back I've had pain for a long time. I tried some movements that usually aggravate the pain and noticed that it was less painful. I always thought it has something to do with the shoulder blade but this made me realize it might be something with the ribs. I'll keep trying this stuff and see if it continues to help. This also interests me because some Chinese Weight lifting coaches talk about breathing onto the back to create more stability and pressure.
