00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:00.830
I didn't have

00:00:00.830 --> 00:00:02.240
pectus carinatum. Mine

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:03.220
was the opposite,

00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:04.560
pectus excavatum. But

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:05.690
I've worked with

00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:06.910
enough people who

00:00:06.910 --> 00:00:07.730
did to know

00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:08.690
the same thing

00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:09.520
is true here.

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:10.110
This can be

00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:11.150
corrected without a

00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:12.250
surgery, and most

00:00:12.250 --> 00:00:13.160
people are never

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.350
told that. Also,

00:00:14.350 --> 00:00:15.300
the research is

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:16.650
clear, the mechanism

00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:18.200
is straightforward. Pectus

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:19.390
carinatum happens when

00:00:19.390 --> 00:00:20.680
the cartilage connecting

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:21.250
your ribs to

00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:22.400
your sternum grows

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:22.780
in a way

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:23.690
that pushes your

00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:24.810
chest outward. A

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.640
dynamic compression brace

00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:28.260
applies steady, controlled

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:29.100
pressure in the

00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:30.530
opposite direction. Worn

00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:32.300
consistently combined with

00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:33.650
the right exercises

00:00:33.650 --> 00:00:34.080
to keep your

00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:35.280
chest wall mobile

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.120
and your posture

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:36.960
working with the

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:37.800
brace instead of

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:38.610
against it, it

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:39.950
reshapes the cartilage

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:40.960
over time. This

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:41.840
isn't a guess.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.140
A randomized controlled

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.340
trial, the strongest

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:45.040
type of study

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:46.200
we have, looked

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.890
at brace-based correction

00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:49.040
for carinatum and

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:50.480
found real measurable

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:51.550
improvement in the

00:00:51.550 --> 00:00:52.450
group using the

00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:53.670
brace compared to

00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:54.640
those who didn't.

00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:55.480
That's the kind

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:56.600
of evidence that

00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:57.370
should exist for

00:00:57.370 --> 00:00:58.090
more of this

00:00:58.090 --> 00:00:58.970
stuff. And it's

00:00:58.970 --> 00:00:59.610
why I built

00:00:59.610 --> 00:01:00.620
this plan around

00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:02.170
such studies. Below,

00:01:02.170 --> 00:01:03.370
you'll find exactly

00:01:03.370 --> 00:01:03.930
how to use

00:01:03.930 --> 00:01:04.870
the plan day

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:05.840
to day. Then,

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:06.500
a section to

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:07.510
help you

00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:08.320
honestly figure out

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:08.850
if you're a

00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:10.300
good candidate, because

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:11.480
bracing works better

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:12.460
depending on your

00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:13.250
chest type and

00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:14.170
age. Then, a

00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:15.640
clear explanation of

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.870
what pectus carinatum

00:01:16.870 --> 00:01:17.970
actually is. And

00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:19.300
finally, why bracing

00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:20.080
and the right

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:21.520
exercise combination can

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:22.610
correct it without

00:01:22.610 --> 00:01:23.200
a surgery.
