Can you relate?

If any of this is familiar,
you're in the right place.

Are you watching months go by with no measurable change? Do you wonder if you'll ever find a protocol that actually works - or if you're doing this wrong in a way nobody can see? That confusion costs you real time. And with PE, time spent on the wrong approach is time your correction doesn't get back.

Told surgery is your only option
Every surgeon frames it as inevitable. Non-surgical alternatives mentioned sound vague and unproven. But over 1,000 people have corrected their PE without a single surgery - using this protocol.
Tried exercises that did nothing
YouTube chest openers and generic physio routines are built for healthy anatomy. You did them for months. Nothing changed. Because they weren't designed for PE mechanics - this course is.
You own a vacuum bell but aren't confident in the protocol
The manual covers device mechanics. It tells you nothing about session duration, suction progression, or how to read your results. This course tells you all of it - in exact detail.
Your posture keeps compensating
Forward shoulders, thoracic hunch, forward head - your body is adapting around the depression in ways that make correction harder. This course addresses the postural chain, not just the depression.
No framework to track progress
You've taken some photos but have no measurement system, no milestones, no way to know if anything is working. The tracking protocol in this course gives you that - at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24.
Everything is disconnected
Exercises here, vacuum bell there, breathing videos you found once. None of it connected into a system. This course is the system - every component in the sequence it needs to be in.

If you recognise yourself in any of those, this course was built for exactly where you are right now. Not a generic chest program. A complete, sequenced protocol built around PE mechanics - the same one I used on myself, refined across 1,000+ real cases. Over 65% success rate in peer-reviewed vacuum bell studies when protocol compliance is right. And this course is built around replicating those exact conditions.

Vacuum bell therapy
What this course is

Not 12 random exercises.
A structured protocol.

The problem with most PE "programs" is that they're collections of exercises with no coherent sequence. A chest opener here. A breathing drill there. No integration between the vacuum bell work and the exercise component. No understanding of what needs to happen first.

This course is built around the sequence that produces results: establish breathing mechanics first, then mobilise the chest wall, then apply progressive vacuum bell loading, then compound it with targeted exercises, then monitor and adjust. In that order.

Structured sequence - not a random exercise collection
Vacuum bell protocol that matches your severity level
Breathing mechanics addressed before physical loading
Measurement system to confirm progress week by week
The Science

This isn't pseudoscience.
Here's the mechanism.

Surgery works. The Nuss procedure produces results. But it involves general anaesthesia, titanium bars implanted in your chest, 6–8 weeks of recovery, and costs that start at $40,000 without insurance. Non-surgical correction - when the protocol is right - produces the same biological remodelling, without any of that. Peer-reviewed evidence agrees.

Wolff's Law

Bone and cartilage remodel under sustained, directed load. This is the biological mechanism that makes vacuum bell therapy work - and why protocol precision matters.

65%+

Success rate in peer-reviewed studies on vacuum bell therapy for PE when compliance and fitting are correct. The protocol in this course is built around replicating those conditions.

20,000×

Times per day your breathing pattern shapes your chest wall. If that pattern reinforces the depression, your other efforts fight an uphill battle. Fix the breathing first.

The key principle

Bone and cartilage remodel in response to sustained, directional load. The vacuum bell generates the load. The exercise protocol compounds it. The breathing mechanics prevent the everyday load of breathing from undermining both.

Study reference

Schier et al. (2005) - vacuum bell therapy produced measurable sternal elevation in 65% of pectus excavatum patients with consistent protocol compliance. Success rate was directly correlated with session frequency and correct suction level.

Inside the Course

12 modules.
Zero filler.

Every module builds on the one before it. The sequence is deliberate - you can't shortcut it without undermining the protocol.

Enroll Now →
Module 01
Anatomy & Severity Self-Assessment
Understand the Haller index, learn to self-measure your depression depth and width, and map your severity level to a realistic correction timeline. This is the baseline that makes everything else make sense.
Module 02
Daily Vacuum Bell Protocol
The session duration, suction levels by severity, daily frequency, and the exact progression schedule that produces measurable sternal lift - not the instructions that came in the box.
Module 03
Breathing Re-education & Diaphragm Work
PE creates a breathing pattern that structurally worsens the depression with every breath. This module reverses it - diaphragmatic retraining sequences that reshape rib mechanics from the inside.
Module 04
Targeted Chest Mobility & Rib Expansion
Sternum mobilisation, costal expansion, thoracic decompression - exercises engineered specifically around PE anatomy, not adapted from generic chest-opening routines.
Module 05
Posture Correction & Spinal Alignment
The forward shoulders, thoracic kyphosis, and forward head position PE creates. Addressed in sequence - because correcting the depression without fixing the postural chain around it limits your results.
Module 06
Progress Tracking & Milestone Checkpoints
Measurement protocol, photo documentation system, and the specific milestone checkpoints at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24 that confirm your correction is on track - or tell you exactly what to adjust.
Mihail Veleski
Your instructor

I had PE.
I fixed it.
I built this course so you can too.

My name is Mihail Veleski. I had pectus excavatum. I was told surgery was my best option. I spent a decade refusing to accept that - testing every non-surgical approach I could find, building my own protocol from the evidence that existed, and fixing my own chest.

I founded Mr. Pectus in 2015. Since then I've worked directly with over 1,000 people across PE, carinatum, and rib flare cases. This course is the distilled result of that experience - every module refined by real-world outcomes, not theory.

What You Walk Away With

Three outcomes.
No shortcuts.

01

Measurable sternal elevation.

Not a temporary improvement from better posture. Structural sternal lift - the kind you can measure with calipers and see in progress photos. The kind that doesn't disappear when you stop doing the exercises.

02

A complete system you run from home.

No gym membership required. No physio appointments. No expensive ongoing sessions. Every protocol in this course is designed around equipment you own or can easily get, in your own time and space.

03

The same protocol I used on myself.

I didn't design this in theory. This is the exact sequence - exercises, breathing work, vacuum bell timing - I used to fix my own chest. Then refined through 10 years and over a thousand cases.

Honest Assessment

Is this course
right for you?

Good fit if…
You have PE and want a complete, structured correction protocol
You're willing to be consistent over months - not looking for a quick fix
You have or plan to get a vacuum bell, or want the complete exercise/breathing system without one
You want to understand WHY the protocol works, not just follow instructions
You've tried scattered exercises and want a system that connects everything
Probably not the right fit if…
You're expecting results in 2–4 weeks - structural correction takes months
Your case is severe and complex enough that a personalised protocol would serve you better (consider 1-on-1 coaching)
You want someone to hold you accountable day-to-day (the course is self-directed)

If 1-on-1 coaching is the better fit, I'll tell you - honestly - on the discovery call. See coaching →

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a vacuum bell to take this course? +

The vacuum bell protocol is one of six modules. The other five - breathing retraining, chest mobility, posture correction, severity assessment, and progress tracking - are fully applicable without one. That said, if you have PE and are serious about correction, a vacuum bell is the single most effective non-surgical tool available. We cover exactly how to source one.

Is this suitable for adults over 30? +

Yes. Correction becomes slower as you age, but it's still possible well into adulthood. The protocol adapts to your age and skeletal maturity - I've seen meaningful corrections in clients in their 30s and 40s. The course is honest about timeline expectations by age range.

How long until I see results? +

Most people notice a measurable difference in sternal elevation within 8–12 weeks when following the full protocol. Visible correction that shows in photos typically takes 4–6 months. Full correction - depending on severity - takes 1–3 years. Anyone promising faster is overstating what's physiologically possible.

How is this different from the exercises I've already tried? +

Generic exercises aren't designed around PE anatomy. They're built for healthy chest walls and often reinforce the postural compensations PE creates. Every exercise in this course is specifically chosen for PE mechanics - what opens the thoracic cage, what mobilises the sternum, what counters the postural chain PE creates.

What format is the course in? +

The course is structured written content with diagrams and protocol tables - not video. This was a deliberate choice: you can reference protocols mid-session without scrubbing through a video. The breathing sequences include audio cue guides.

Can I do this if my PE is severe? +

Yes - the course covers all severity levels. Severe PE typically requires more patience and more emphasis on the vacuum bell protocol. If your case is genuinely complex (asymmetric, combined with scoliosis, significant functional impact), the 1-on-1 coaching option may be more appropriate than a course.

Do I need a gym? +

No. The mobility and breathing work requires no equipment. The exercise sequences are bodyweight-first with optional resistance progressions. If you have a set of resistance bands and a foam roller, that covers everything.

What if I've already tried vacuum bell therapy without results? +

In most cases, the issue is protocol - wrong suction level, wrong session duration, wrong frequency, or no progressive overload built into the schedule. The course covers the exact variables that determine whether vacuum bell therapy produces results, and how to troubleshoot when it stalls.

What's your refund policy? +

30 days, no questions asked. If you go through the course and don't feel the protocol is what was described, email me and I'll refund you in full.

How is this different from free content online? +

Free content covers individual exercises in isolation. This course covers the protocol - the sequence, the timing, the interaction between breathing mechanics and vacuum bell use, the postural chain that must be addressed alongside physical correction. The difference is the system, not the individual parts.
