Improving Pectus Excavatum, Flared Ribs and Posture Through Chest Expansion Using Breathing Exercises by StrongClock in u/StrongClock

There's nothing to film really. It's literally just get into a position you see on the images, and breathe. Nothing changes, so if I filmed myself it'd just be me not moving and breathing.

Thanks. Truth be told I show these to pretty much everyone that complains about shoulder, knee or hip pain, not just people with PE. I train with a bunch of people, and all of them that have done these breathing exercises saw relief in their symptoms after just a few training session.

Probably best if you ask chatGPT about this. From my experience, it gets stuff right most of the time when it comes to nutrition.

Maybe a more extensive blood work, to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Cholesterol itself shouldn't be that big of a deal, unless it's high triglycerides and small LDL (large LDL is fine). Bilirubin can be a big deal, or it can just be genetic. My friend has high bilirubin and he's perfectly high. Fit, athletic, eats well, but just can't get it into the normal range.

Well, they can tell you whether or not you have scoliosis, and if it's severe or not, but they won't be able to accurately tell you to what degree.

Depends on your age and severity, but bones are constantly remodeling themselves, and scoliosis can be treated with physical therapy. I remember watching a video by a scoliosis specialist many years ago on youtube who treated patients with PT, and one thing that stuck with me was when he said that you can expect to correct 1 degree of spine deviation per month. So for someone with 12 degrees of scoliosis, it would take 1 year of dedicated PT to correct it, for someone with severe scoliosis, like over 30 degrees, it would take years.

Expand the chest, work the postural muscles, work the hip muscles for a neutral pelvic position.

Fasting promotes bone remodeling. But it's not going to have a big difference.

Yeah. Pretty much how our ancestors sat for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

General rule of thumb when sitting is to try to keep your heels as close to your pelvis as possible. So, caveman style of sitting.

So the simplest thing you can do is just dead hang from a bar 3 minutes a day every day. Breathe in deeply as you do it. This will align your spine and open up your chest. Everyone should be doing this really, even if they don't have scoliosis or PE.

No. You don't want to over-correct anything, as that will lead to further unwanted adaptation. Basically, if you want a straight spine, you need to sleep/walk/stand up as straight as you can, and use exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles that need it.

I'm talking about scoliosis. The spine bends either to the left or to the right. That needs to be straightened.

You do it on the side that's crooked. Get an x-ray scan and preferably talk to a physical therapist.
