Stretch your arms straight out in a y position with your thumbs pointing up. Pull your arms back in an arc until your hands are in a ‘handcuff’ position. Slowly reverse your arms until you’re at the start. Repeat 2 or 3 times. •wall sliding (wall angels) this exercise will strengthen the scapular retractors and will provide good shoulder mobility. How to do it: stand with your back against a wall but take one small step forward. Hold your arms out in the shape of a w with your hands facing up. Push your hands up toward the wall until they reach a y position. Return your arms to the w position. Repeat 5 times. •t-spine rotation thoracic spine rotations are essential for increasing mobility in the thoracic spine region (where the kyphosis affects).

This stretch helps to undo these shortened muscles. How to do it: stand tall with your arms extended straight out to your sides at shoulder height. Turn your wrists so your thumbs face backwards and pull your (straight) arms up over your head. Bend your elbows until your elbow is at a 90 degree angle.

Repeat 2 times then switch to your other arm. Do this exercise several times a day. Bad posture can contribute to the severity and appearance of pectusexcavatum. Strengthening your postural muscles can help. Because we often work on our front body — especially when strengthening our chest to help with pectusexcavatum — this exercise will help balance your body by strengthening your posterior chain — those muscles on the back of the body. 1.Lie on your stomach on a mat with your arms extended in front of you and your forehead resting on the ground. 2.As you inhale, lift your head, legs, and arms. 3.Hold for a count of 5 and gently release back to the ground. 4.Complete 2 sets of 10.

You have an intervertebral disc prolapse at the cervical level and need ortho consultation. The protruding disc pressing the nerve endings causes the pain and the sensation you suffer from. You may also use a cervical collar after seeing an ortho.
