This is a condition that is on the increase.

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.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat therapy
heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.
