Most plans stall.
Yours keeps changing.

How I read your chest, set the pressure, and revise the plan every two weeks.

01 / If this is you

You've done the research.
You still don't have a plan you trust.

Most people who message me have been at this for months. Effort isn't what they're missing. Structure is, and that's the part coaching fixes.

Hours of YouTube, no verdict
You've watched all of it and still can't tell if you're doing it right. I tell you what applies to your chest and what to ignore.
Progress started, then stopped
You got early results, then nothing. A plateau almost always comes down to suction, hours or exercise pairing. Finding which one beats starting over.
Equipment in a drawer
You own the bell or the brace but not a plan you trust. I set the pressure, the hours and the pairing to your measurements, then change them as your chest does.
Every forum disagrees
Six threads, six answers, and no way to tell which one is right. You get one plan, from one person who has corrected this.
Months on the line
You can feel the time going and you're not sure this works. With measurements every two weeks, a wrong call shows up within two weeks, not after a season.
Guessed at by a generalist
You want someone who has corrected this, not a physio seeing it for the first time. I've lived with it, I build the equipment, and this is all I do.
The real problem

Effort was never the problem.
Nobody was checking the aim.

Correction is mechanical. You need the right pressure, the right hours and the right exercises, checked against your measurements every two weeks and changed as soon as the numbers say so.

02 / The Method

Why a chest can change shape
at any age.

Cartilage remodels under steady pressure at the right dose. That's the mechanism, and it's why surgery isn't the only option.

It's cartilage, not bone
Your sternum sits on flexible cartilage, not solid bone. Under sustained pressure at the right dose, it remodels. Braces on teeth work on the same principle.
Pressure in the right direction
A vacuum bell pulls a sunken chest out. A brace presses a bump or flared ribs flat.
Age changes the timeline, not the answer
Younger cartilage moves faster, but adult correction is documented. Greg started with me at 52. The plan changes with your age. The mechanism doesn't.
The dose decides it
Generic plans plateau because of the wrong suction, the wrong hours or the wrong exercise pairing. The pressure has to match your chest, and change as your chest does.

The full proof, measurements included, is further down the page ↓

03 / How I read your chest

Before anything gets built,
your chest gets read.

Five checks, in this order. Each one narrows down the next, so equipment is the last thing I decide, not the first.

01
Depth, from photographs
Front, side and top-down photos at full exhale. From those I estimate your Haller index and severity band. That is enough to size equipment and set a realistic timeline.
02
Which deformity is driving it
Few chests are purely one thing. What drives the shape decides whether pressure has to pull, press, or both.
03
How pliable the cartilage still is
How far the shape shifts between full inhale and full exhale, and whether the ribs move as a unit. That sets session length and how fast pressure can climb.
04
What the last attempt failed at
Suction level, hours, positioning, and what you paired it with. A plateau nearly always comes down to one of those four.
05
Bell, brace, or neither
Only now do I decide on equipment. A few people need neither, and I'd rather tell you that than sell you hardware.

I do all five from your intake form and photos, within the first 48 hours. No diagnosis, no scan, and no equipment needed to start.

04 / Who you're working with

I had it. I fixed it.
Now I build the equipment.

I have pectus excavatum. I was diagnosed at 15 and told what most people get told: wait and see, and if it gets worse, surgery. I didn't accept that.

Back then, the information was scattered across clinical papers, forum threads and videos that contradicted each other. So I tested it on my own chest first: vacuum bell, breathing plan, exercise pairing, all of it measured. Over months my chest changed, and the rib flare went with it.

I started mrpectus in 2015 and have read over 1,000 cases since: excavatum, carinatum and rib flare, ages 13 to 52. I read every one myself. I also design and build the bells and braces, so the size and suction I give you come from hardware I've tested, not a size chart. I'm not a doctor. Everything clinical here is reviewed by Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yüksel, MD. And I keep the client list small on purpose, because my attention is what you're paying for.

05 / What's Included

What you get.
Built for you.

Nine parts, all built around your chest from day one. Not a template with your name on it.

01
Case assessment & baseline
I estimate your Haller index, classify your severity and take baseline measurements from your photos. I know where you're starting before I build anything.
02
Full custom plan
Written for your case: vacuum bell sessions, brace wear schedule, breathing sequence, exercise pairing and daily schedule.
03
Equipment at client pricing
If your plan calls for a vacuum bell or a brace, I build it to your exact chest dimensions and you get 15% off it as my client, or 30% off if you need both. The fitting, the sizing and the setup call cost nothing. The hardware is not free, and I would rather say so here than at checkout.
04
Weight-gain nutrition plan
Most of us with pectus struggle to gain weight, and a fuller chest hides the dip. I build your meals around foods you actually like, so nobody forces eggs or yogurt down. You get a way of eating you can keep up.
05
Posture correction
Three movement tests find your posture weak spots. Then targeted stretches work on the typical pectus posture. Posture alone changes how your chest looks.
06
Bi-weekly plan revisions
Every two weeks I review your progress photos, track your measurements and update the plan. It changes as your chest changes.
07
The Trainerize app + video calls
Your whole programme in one app: workouts with demo videos, daily session logging, and direct chat with me, answered the same day. When typing isn't enough, we get on a video call.
08
Mindset & accountability
I'm not a psychologist, but I've lived with this condition. I keep you consistent when motivation drops, and I share what actually helped with the daily mental weight of pectus.
09
Full progress documentation
Measurements tracked from day one to the end, with a standard photo routine, so you see the change in numbers, not just feelings.
Breathe Deeper, the 1,127-page pectus e-book
Included free
Breathe Deeper, the full e-book

1,127 pages on correcting pectus without surgery. It's the book this whole method came out of. On its own it sells for $97. Every coaching client gets it free on day one, so the reasoning behind your plan is always there to read.

06 / How It Works

Five steps from
subscribe to correction.

One rate: $199 a month. The first month is covered by the 30-day guarantee, and you can cancel anytime. No call and no application. You start, and I get to work.

01
Start today
You subscribe for $199, covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. The case intake form is in your inbox before you've closed the tab.
02
Case intake
About 10 minutes: your condition, severity, history, photos, goals and what you've tried. I build your whole plan from this. If a $197 course fits your case better, I tell you in my first reply and refund the month.
03
Plan written
I write your full correction plan from scratch: vacuum bell sessions, brace wear schedule, breathing sequence and exercise pairing, all built around your measurements and your case.
04
Equipment fitted & shipped
If the plan calls for a bell or a brace, it's built to your measurements and shipped directly, at 15% off as my client, or 30% off if you need both. A setup video call walks you through the first session.
05
Bi-weekly revisions + daily access
Every two weeks I review your measurements and photos and update the plan. Between check-ins, message me in the app. I answer the same day, so mistakes get caught in days, not after weeks of doing it wrong.
07 / A Week Inside Coaching

What you actually do
Monday to Sunday.

A real week once the plan is running. I'd rather you see the commitment now than discover it in week two.

Mon
Session day
Full bell or brace load, breathing sequence, first training session of the week.
Tue
Session day
Same load. Log it in the app, and message me if anything felt off yesterday.
Wed
Check-in
Progress photos and measurements every second Wednesday. I reply with the revision.
Thu
Session day
Full load, second or third training session depending on your phase.
Fri
Session day
Full load. Form questions usually come up here. We do a video call if text isn't enough.
Sat
Lighter
Sessions continue, training is optional. The focus is food: we review your eating week.
Sun
Reset
Breathing and mobility only. No bell, no brace. Tissue needs the gap to adapt.
One app, includedTrainerizeiPhone & Android
I build the workouts in itI write every session into your plan by hand, with demo video on each movement. You open the app and the day is already there.
You log, I see itBell sessions, brace hours, breathing and every set land in my dashboard as you tick them off. At check-in I am not trying to rebuild your two weeks from memory.
Food goes in the same appYou log what you eat and I adjust your nutrition from that. Weight gain lives in the same app as the training, not in a separate spreadsheet.
Check-ins and chatProgress photos and measurements every second week, and direct chat with me in between, answered the same day.
Vacuum bell2-4 sessions a day, 10-30 min each
Brace8-16 hours a day, phase dependent
Breathing15-20 min, daily, non-negotiable
Training3-4 sessions a week, gym or home
Check-inEvery 2 weeks, photos + measurements
MessagesOpen all week, answered same day

Exact hours depend on your case and phase. A severe excavatum in month one looks nothing like a rib flare in month five. I build your schedule around the life you described at intake.

08 / What I need from you

Four things,
and none are optional.

Coaching is not something done to you. I can build the right plan and still watch it fail if these four don't happen. Read them before you subscribe, not after.

Photos every two weeks
Same light, same spot, same stance, full exhale. Structural change is too slow to see in the mirror. You will see it in the photos. Without them I am revising your plan blind.
The daily sessions, actually done
Cartilage responds to consistent load, not intense load. Four normal sessions beat one huge one. If the schedule does not fit your life, tell me at intake and I will build one that does.
Tell me when you skip
People go quiet when they fall behind, and that is the worst moment to lose contact. Skipped a week? Say so. I adjust the plan around real life. I cannot adjust around silence.
Twelve weeks, minimum
That is the minimum for measurable structural change, and most real correction takes six months. If you want a result in four weeks, no plan can give you that, and I would rather say so now.

    My son is 15 and had started keeping a shirt on in the pool, which is how I worked out something was wrong in the first place, because he certainly wasn't going to tell me. He would never have stuck with the brace on his own. It was the fortnightly check-ins that did it - he didn't want to turn up with nothing to report. Six months now and the bump has visibly come down. He swims without the shirt.

Before You Start · Straight Answers

What people ask
before they begin.

The four that come up most, answered the same way I would answer them on a call.

Take the 60-second quiz
How long before I see a change?+

Posture and breathing shift inside the first few weeks. Visible chest change is slower - in the case log above, Milo hit his at 2 months, Ian at 6. The programs run 16 weeks because that is how long it takes to show in the mirror.

Am I too old for this to work?+

Almost certainly not. Greg started with me at 52. Cartilage stiffens with age, so progress is slower, but slower is not stopped. Age changes the timeline, not whether it is worth doing.

Do I need a gym, or can I do this at home?+

Either works. Every program ships with a gym track and a no-equipment track for the same 16 weeks, and you can switch between them mid-program without losing your place.

Pectus excavatum, carinatum, rib flare - is it the same plan?+

No, and that matters. A sunken chest and a protruding chest need close to opposite work, and rib flare rides along with both. There is a separate program for each, if you are not sure which you have, the 60-second quiz sorts it out.

10 / Two Paths

Two honest ways to do this.

Both work. They cost different amounts and they fail in different ways. Here's the full comparison, including the bill.

13 / Questions

Frequently asked.

How many spots do you take on at once?+
3 spots right now. I keep the number small on purpose, because revisions every two weeks and same-day replies don't work at volume. When the last spot goes, this page says so, and you can put your name down for the next opening instead of paying for a spot I can't give you yet.
What happens right after I pay?+
Your intake form and Trainerize invite land in your inbox the moment payment clears. The form takes about 10 minutes. I read it myself within 24 hours and message you in the app. Your plan is underway within 48 hours.
Do I need an app to do this?+
Yes, and it's free to you. Coaching runs through Trainerize on iPhone or Android: your workouts with demo video for every movement, daily logging for bell sessions and brace hours, your bi-weekly photos and measurements, and our direct chat all live in one place. The invite arrives with your intake form. It lets me see your week as it happens, instead of rebuilding it from memory at check-in.
What conditions do you work with?+
Pectus excavatum (all severity levels), pectus carinatum, rib flare, and any mix of them. Mixed cases are common, and I work with them. You describe your full case in the intake right after checkout, or you can ask me in the chat first if you're unsure.
What does "custom-fitted equipment" mean exactly?+
For vacuum bells: I take your chest measurements (circumference, sternal depression depth, chest width) and build a bell sized specifically for your anatomy. For rib flare braces: built to your rib angle and circumference. You don't pick a size from a chart. It's made for you.
What's the duration of the coaching programme?+
At least 12 weeks, usually 6 months for significant structural correction. The programme runs as long as active correction takes. I don't count weeks. I watch whether your measurements are still moving, and I tell you when they stop.
What age range do you work with?+
Teenagers, with a parent involved, through to adults. The approach changes with age, because younger cartilage is more pliable. So age is part of how I design your plan, not a reason to turn you away.
Do I need to already have equipment, and is it included?+
You don't need anything to start, and the hardware is not included in the $199. Once I've designed your plan I'll tell you what your case actually needs, if anything, and build it to your measurements. As my client you get 15% off a vacuum bell or a brace, and 30% off if you need both. Some cases need neither, and I'd rather tell you that than sell you hardware.
What does a typical week look like?+
Vacuum bell: 2–4 sessions per day of 10–30 minutes each, depending on phase. Brace: 8–16 hours per day. Breathing sequence: 15–20 minutes daily. Exercise plan: 3–4 sessions per week. This takes real time every day, and I'm not going to pretend it doesn't.
I struggle to gain weight. Is nutrition really included?+
Fully. With pectus, weight gain does a lot of the visual work, because a fuller chest hides the dip. I build your meal plan around foods you actually like and adjust it alongside your training. Can't eat vegetables? Hate eggs? Tell me and I'll build around it. A plan you quietly drop in week three is worth nothing.
Can I run the program from a home gym?+
Yes. The workout plan adapts to whatever you have: a full gym, a home setup with dumbbells and bands, or just bodyweight to start. Tell me your setup at intake and the plan gets built around it.
What if I've been doing this for months with no results?+
Plateaus are one of the most common reasons people come to coaching. I go through what you're doing: pressure, suction level, positioning and the exercises you pair with it. That almost always shows what's blocking progress. A plateau usually has a specific cause.
Can adults correct PE without surgery?+
Yes. Results vary with severity and starting age, but non-surgical correction in adults is well documented, and I work with adults regularly. Their plan differs from a teenager's: longer sessions, slower progress at the start, and more focus on connective tissue adaptation. It's not quick, but it works.
Do you work with very severe pectus excavatum?+
Yes. Severe cases benefit most from the vacuum bell plan, and I set honest expectations at intake. Severe structural correction takes longer, but visible improvement is achievable. If your case needs a surgical consultation, I tell you that too.
Will coaching prepare me for the Nuss procedure if I choose surgery later?+
It can. Stronger chest muscles, better breathing mechanics and better posture all make surgery and recovery easier. Some clients improve enough that they cancel the consult. If you do go ahead, you go in better prepared.
What's the difference between the PE Course and 1-on-1 coaching?+
The PE Course gives you the complete system: the plan, breathing mechanics, exercise sequences and how to measure. 1-on-1 coaching builds a plan for your case from scratch, with custom equipment fitting, plan revisions every two weeks and direct access to me in the Trainerize app. The course is the path you follow on your own. Coaching is the fastest, most direct path, with no guesswork.
How do I know if I need coaching or if the course is enough?+
The comparison further up shows the real differences. As a rule: if you're motivated, happy to work on your own and your case is straightforward, the course plus the guides usually does the job. If your case is complex, earlier attempts failed, or you want the fastest result with me watching over it, coaching is the right level. And if you start coaching and your intake shows a course fits better, I tell you in my first reply and refund the month.
How much does it cost?+
$199 a month, flat. That covers your case assessment, the full custom plan, plan revisions every two weeks, the Trainerize app with direct access to me, and progress tracking. Equipment is the one thing it doesn't cover: if your case needs a bell or a brace, I build it to your measurements at 15% off, or 30% off for both. There are no tiers and no other extras. Your first month is covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel any month.
What if I want to stop partway through?+
In the first 30 days, one message gets you a full refund, no questions asked. After that, coaching is month to month. Cancel anytime, with no lock-in, and you keep everything we built: the plan, the equipment and the documentation. If we're not making progress or it isn't the right fit, I'll tell you straight. I'd rather stop and point you somewhere better than keep billing you for a programme that isn't working for you.

Something I didn't cover? The chat comes straight to me. Ask anything about your case before you start.

Everything above.
$199 a month.

A plan built for your chest, equipment fitted to your measurements, revisions every two weeks, and me a message away in the app the whole time. The first month is covered by the 30-day guarantee, so the risk stays with me.

P.S. $199 a month is less than most people spend guessing: the wrong equipment, the wrong size, months on a plan that was never going to work. Worst case, you send one message in the first 30 days and I refund the month. And if a course fits your case better, I'll tell you after your intake and refund you. - Mihail
