Why your exercises did nothing, and what a system built for PE looks like.

The depression has mechanics. Generic chest-openers ignore all of them. This course doesn’t.

Pectus excavatum correction
Trusted by
01 / If this is you

You tried everything.
None of it was a system.

PE doesn't respond to random effort. It responds to the right inputs, in the right order, done consistently. Here's why your past attempts stalled, and what changes.

Told surgery is your only option
Every surgeon frames it as inevitable, and the alternatives sound vague.
Tried exercises that did nothing
YouTube chest-openers and generic physio routines are built for healthy anatomy.
You own a vacuum bell but aren’t sure of the protocol
The box tells you how the device works.
Your posture keeps compensating
Forward shoulders, thoracic hunch, forward head: your body adapts around the depression in ways that make correction harder.
No framework to track progress
A few photos, no measurement system, no milestones, no way to know if anything's working.
Everything was disconnected
Exercises here, vacuum bell there, breathing videos you found once.
The reframe

You were never broken.
You never had a plan.

PE correction is mechanical: fix the breathing pattern that reinforces the dip, apply the right vacuum bell load, mobilise the chest, realign the posture, and measure it. In the right order, the same biology that built the depression works to undo it.

20 min a day runs the protocol
8–12 wks to first measurable change

  • I came across your blog about a year ago and I just want to say how much you've changed my life for the better. I thought it was going to be another average article, but the tips you gave were things I hadn't heard of before. Now I've improved so much and im more confident then ever.

  • 6 mo

    spent two years researching surgery before i found this. six months in and i wish id found it sooner. the progress photos dont lie

    Tom W. PE 24

    Pectus Excavatum Course Manchester, UK 🇬🇧

  • 3 mo

    Was skeptical, id tried everything before. the custom vacuum bell was different to anything id used. three months of consistent use and i can already see the sternum coming up

    Chris L. PE 31

    been watching mihails youtube since 2017. finally bought the program in 2023 and kicked myself for waiting. shouldve trusted him years earlier

    Seven months with the bell now. dip is maybe half what it was and i've stopped turning sideways away from people at the gym lol. didnt expect that part

    Tobias PE 24

    Vacuum Bell Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪

  • 5 mo

    started at 19 with a chest i couldnt look at in the mirror. went with the excavatum course cus everyone kept telling me nothing but surgery works and i didnt buy it. 5 months of doing the work most days and my chest sits noticeably flatter now - the surgeon who told me wait and see at 17 wouldnt recognise it. only regret is i didnt start the day i turned 17

    Wes PE 19

    Pectus Excavatum Course Colorado, USA 🇺🇸

  • 9 mo

    Nine months in and my cardiologist literally asked what id changed. resting heart rate came down and i sleep breathing through my nose now. still kind of wild to me

    Andrés Vásquez PE 31

    1-on-1 Coaching Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱

  • 1100 pages sounded ridiculous til i realised its a reference not a book you read front to back. im in the vacuum bell chapters basically every day

    callum_g PE 22

    Breathe Deeper Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  • Back and rear delt work changed how my chest reads more than anything i did to the actual chest. did NOT expect to be told that

    Dmitri PE 29

  • App keeps me honest ngl. i log the bell session and it tells me when ive earned the next step up. before this i was just guessing

    Joon-ho Park PE 26

  • 4 mo

    my mum found mihail tbh. four months of coaching and the difference between the photos is obvious. never had to sit in front of a surgeon

    Tomás Ferreira PE 17

    1-on-1 Coaching Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹

  • 3 mo

    gaining weight was the bit nobody would explain to me. 3 months on the nutrition plan, 5kg up, and the same chest reads completely different at that weight

    Felix PE 28

    Pectus Nutrition Program Graz, Austria 🇦🇹

  • 6 mo

    It works. the suction takes getting used to and i gave myself a bit of skin bruising the first fortnight, until i dropped the pressure back to what the guide actually says. my fault not theirs

    Marc-Antoine PE 33

    Vacuum Bell Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦

  • 5 mo

    honest review. 5 months of consistent bell use and my depth has barely moved. im 35 and my chest wall is stiff, which the guide does warn about upfront. the posture and breathing side genuinely helped and i dont regret the money, but i wouldnt tell someone my age to expect what the teenagers are getting

    Nikolai PE 35

    Vacuum Bell Guide Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬

  • 8 mo

    dip and flare at the same time. THE FLARE WENT FIRST, which nobody warned me would happen, and that alone changed my whole silhouette

    Bruno Salgado PE + Rib Flare 30

    1-on-1 Coaching São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷

  • brace did its job on the flare. what i actually wanted was how to run it alongside the vacuum bell work in the same week. asked and got a proper answer same day, but that should be in the material, not something you have to know to ask for

    Otto PE + Rib Flare 25

    Rib Flare Brace Tampere, Finland 🇫🇮

  • Had rib flare since i was a teen. the brace plus the breathing drills changed everything. my waist looks normal in a fitted shirt for the first time in my adult life

    Daniel K. Rib Flare 27

    Rib Flare Brace Bristol, UK 🇬🇧

  • 12 mo

    Mihail doesnt sugarcoat anything. told me exactly what to expect and exactly how long it would take. 12 months in and my carinatum is flat. i finally take my shirt off at the beach

    Aiden R. PC 19

    1-on-1 Coaching Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

  • the breathing protocol alone changed how i feel day to day. didnt realise how shallow i was breathing until i fixed it. the rib flare correction kind of followed on its own

    Sam B. Rib Flare 21

    Rib Flare Course Oregon, USA 🇺🇸

  • 4 mo

    The carinatum brace is really well made. fits perfect to my chest and i can wear it under a t-shirt at work. results started showing around 4 months

    Nico P. PC 17

    Pectus Carinatum Brace Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

  • the course structure is exactly what i needed. not overwhelming, not vague. each module builds on the last and you always know what to do next

    Jake M. Rib Flare 23

    Rib Flare Course Texas, USA 🇺🇸

  • 6 mo

    My son is 15 and was getting self-conscious at the pool. The carinatum brace and the fortnightly check-ins are what kept him consistent. Six months and the ridge has visibly dropped.

    Parent of Ethan PC 15

    Pectus Carinatum Brace Michigan, USA 🇺🇸

  • what sold me is that every claim links to a study. only place online that treats pectus like an actual training problem instead of selling a miracle

    David P. Rib Flare 34

    Read the blog Rotterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇱

  • Everyone i asked just told me to do more core. turns out i was breathing into my neck this whole time. learning to actually use my diaphragm was the entire fix

    Georgia Rib Flare 24

    Rib Flare Course Perth, Australia 🇦🇺

  • 4 mo

    started out flat on my back every night checking whether my ribs still stuck up, they always did. got the rib flare program and actually did the breathing side properly this time instead of just the exercises. four months later i lie down and theyre flat - i still check out of habit and still cant quite believe it

    Hanna Rib Flare 22

    Rib Flare Program Malmö, Sweden 🇸🇪

  • 7 mo

    the fortnightly check-ins are the only reason im still doing this. left on my own id have quit around week 3, easy

    Katarina Rib Flare 31

    1-on-1 Coaching Split, Croatia 🇭🇷

  • obsessed with watching that number drop every month ngl. 10/10

    marta_v Rib Flare 25

    The app Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸

  • clear, cited, actually practical. heavy going in the anatomy chapters if you have no background, but id rather be given too much than too little

    Aisha M. Rib Flare 27

    Rib Flare Brace Guide Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪

  • material's good and i have no issue with the science. my honest gripe is the early modules cover the same ground as the free blog posts, which id already read before buying. the later phases are where the real value sits. wouldve paid the same to skip straight to those

    Stefan Nagy Rib Flare 34

    Rib Flare Course Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺

  • 5 mo

    Wore it 8 hrs a night for 5 months. the ridge is basically gone. im 16 so i got lucky on timing, but you still have to wear it every single night. beat the operation they were lining us up for

    Elias PC 16

    Pectus Carinatum Brace Bergen, Norway 🇳🇴

  • The wear-schedule chapter is honestly the whole product. everywhere else online just goes "wear a brace" and leaves you to figure out the rest

    hamza PC 20

    Pectus Carinatum Course Casablanca, Morocco 🇲🇦

  • 6 mo

    spent two years hiding the ridge under hoodies before i actually did anything about it. what changed it was the carinatum program - building the chest and back around the ridge instead of just bracing and hoping. six months in and it reads flat enough that the hoodies are gone

    Rafael PC 22

    PC Exercise Program Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭

  • 4 mo

    He replied to my messages same day, every time. at 17 with a chest you hate, that matters way more than the plan does honestly

    Théo PC 17

    1-on-1 Coaching Ghent, Belgium 🇧🇪

  • solid guide and the pressure numbers are genuinely useful. half a star off cus im 28 and the whole thing is pitched at teenagers. an adult section, where the timelines are honestly different, wouldve been worth a lot to me

    Jonas B. PC 28

    Carinatum Brace Guide Aarhus, Denmark 🇩🇰

  • logged case +3.2 kg · 2 months

    Two months in and I've put on 3.2 kg of muscle. My chest doesn't cave the way it used to when I'm standing relaxed, and that alone was worth it.

    Milo PE 25

    Germany 🇩🇪

  • logged case −0.9 cm · 9 months

    Nine months, 5.7 kg of muscle on, and 0.9 cm off the depth of my chest. I am 32. I had been told the window for fixing this closed at 18.

    Liam PE + Rib Flare 32

    Seattle, WA 🇺🇸

  • logged case +4.5 kg · 6 months

    I came in skinny with a deep dip and ribs that flared out. Six months later I am 4.5 kg heavier, and the flare is the part people notice is gone.

    Ian PE + Rib Flare 22

    Canada 🇨🇦

  • logged case −0.9 cm · 7 months

    The brace handled the flare, the training filled out the chest. 6 kg on and 0.9 cm less depth in seven months. I wear fitted shirts now.

    Alejandro Sanz Torres PE + Rib Flare 29

    Bilbao, Spain 🇪🇸

  • logged case +4 kg · 5 months

    Five months, 4 kg up. The dip is still there if I go looking for it, but nobody else finds it anymore.

    Lars PE + Rib Flare 25

    Sweden 🇸🇪

  • logged case −9 kg · 5 months

    I am 52 and carried both a ridge and a dip my whole life. Dropped 9 kg in five months and my chest finally reads as one shape instead of two.

    Greg Henderson PC + PE 52

    Ohio, USA 🇺🇸

  • logged case +5 kg · 3 months

    Three months, 5 kg on, and the ridge sits lower than it ever has. At 19 I thought surgery was the only thing that would fix it.

    Ethan PC 19

    North Carolina, USA 🇺🇸

  • logged case +9 kg · 6 months

    Nine kilos in six months. Building the muscle around the ridge did more for how it looks than the years I spent hiding it under loose shirts.

    Omar Al Mansoori PC 24

  • logged case 4 months

    Four months of coaching and the ridge you could see from the side has flattened out. I stopped checking my profile in every window I walk past.

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 first - most people feel that inside the first few weeks. Visible chest change is slower. In the case log above, Milo saw his first real change at 2 months, Ian at 6, Liam at 9. The programs run 16 weeks because that is roughly how long it takes for the training to show up in the mirror.

Am I too old for this to work? +

Almost certainly not. The clients documented on this page were 22 to 32 when they started. Cartilage does stiffen with age, so progress is slower the older you are - but slower is not the same as stopped. What changes is 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, so you pick the one that matches what you actually have access to. 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 often rides along with both. There is a separate program for each. If you are not sure which one you have, the 60-second quiz sorts it out and points you at the right starting place.

04 / What you actually walk away with

Real correction, not a
better-posture illusion.

Mihail, corrected without surgery
Mihail, corrected without surgery
Measurable sternal elevation
Not a temporary lift from standing straighter. Structural change you can measure with calipers and see in progress photos, the kind that holds.
A complete system you run from home
No gym membership, no physio appointments, no costly ongoing sessions. Every protocol is built around equipment you own or can easily get.
Breathing that stops worsening the dip
Your breathing pattern shapes your chest wall ~20,000 times a day. Re-pattern it and every other effort finally stops fighting uphill.
A chest you’ll uncover
The pool, the beach, the bedroom, the flinch that ran your life eases as the depression does.
The exact protocol I used on myself
Not theory. The precise sequence (exercises, breathing, vacuum bell timing) I used to fix my own chest, refined over a decade and 1,000+ cases.
A way to know it’s working
Defined milestones at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24 tell you you're on track, or exactly what to adjust.
05 / Course curriculum

Six connected modules.
One correction system.

Each module builds on the last. Run them in order and the components compound instead of competing.

  1. Anatomy & Severity Self-Assessment Module 01

    Understand the Haller index, self-measure your depression depth and width, and map your severity to a realistic timeline. The baseline that makes everything else make sense.

    1. 01 The Haller index explained
    2. 02 Self-measuring depth & width
    3. 03 Mapping your severity
    4. 04 Setting a realistic timeline
  2. Daily Vacuum Bell Protocol Module 02

    Session duration, suction levels by severity, daily frequency and the exact progression that produces measurable lift, not the instructions that came in the box.

    1. 01 Session duration
    2. 02 Suction levels by severity
    3. 03 Daily frequency
    4. 04 The progression to real lift
  3. Breathing Re-education & Diaphragm Work Module 03

    PE creates a breathing pattern that structurally worsens the depression with every breath. This reverses it, diaphragmatic retraining that reshapes rib mechanics from the inside.

    1. 01 Why PE breathing worsens the dip
    2. 02 Diaphragmatic retraining
    3. 03 Reshaping rib mechanics
    4. 04 Your daily breathing practice
  4. Targeted Chest Mobility & Rib Expansion Module 04

    Sternum mobilisation, costal expansion and thoracic decompression, engineered around PE anatomy, not adapted from generic chest-opening routines.

    1. 01 Sternum mobilisation
    2. 02 Costal (rib) expansion
    3. 03 Thoracic decompression
    4. 04 PE-specific sequencing
  5. Posture Correction & Spinal Alignment Module 05

    The forward shoulders, thoracic kyphosis and forward-head position PE creates, corrected in sequence, because fixing the dip without the postural chain limits results.

    1. 01 Fixing forward shoulders
    2. 02 Thoracic kyphosis
    3. 03 Forward-head position
    4. 04 Correcting in sequence
  6. Progress Tracking & Milestone Checkpoints Module 06

    The measurement protocol, photo system and milestone checkpoints at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24 that confirm correction is on track, or tell you exactly what to adjust.

    1. 01 The measurement protocol
    2. 02 The progress photo system
    3. 03 Checkpoints: weeks 4, 8, 12, 24
    4. 04 Knowing what to adjust
06 / How it is taught

Short lessons.
One thing to do after each.

Nothing here is a lecture. Every lesson takes one mechanism, shows it on a real chest, and hands you the drill and the cue to check it against.

  1. Watch 6–12 min

    One idea per lesson

    No forty-minute talks. Each lesson takes a single mechanism and shows why it matters for your chest specifically.

  2. See it Demo

    Filmed on a real chest

    Drills are demonstrated on a pectus chest, not a model with a flat sternum, so you can see what correct looks like on anatomy like yours.

  3. Do it Today

    The drill, and the cue to check it

    You finish each lesson with one thing to do and one cue to check yourself against, so you know you did it right.

  4. Log it 30 sec

    The number you write down

    Reps, minutes under suction, or a photo. The next lesson starts from what you logged, not from where you hoped you were.

Read it on your phone between sets. Everything is written as well as filmed, so you can skim a lesson once you already know it.

07 / Your first month

What the first
30 days look like.

You start measuring and lifting on day one, no long theory runway. Correction begins the first week.

Start the system
Baseline & set-up Days 1–3

Self-assess severity, take your first measurements and photos, and lock in your starting vacuum bell settings and breathing drills.

The daily protocol clicks Week 1

Your vacuum bell sessions, breathing re-education and mobility become a 20-minute routine you can actually keep.

Mechanics shift Weeks 2–3

Breathing pattern starts to change, posture work kicks in, and the lift begins to last longer after each session.

First milestone check Week 4

Re-measure against your baseline. See the early structural change on paper, and know exactly what to progress next.

10 / By the end of this course

Four things you'll be able to do
that you can't do today.

Not feelings. Capabilities, each one with a way to check whether you actually have it.

Measure your own chest properly

Depth, width and severity, taken the same way every time, so a number from month six actually compares to the one from month one.

Check yourself You can state your own depth in millimetres without guessing.

Run a vacuum bell session that does something

The right suction for your severity, the right duration, and the progression that follows it, instead of the leaflet that came in the box.

Check yourself You know what your next session's setting is, and why it changed.

Breathe in a way that stops feeding the dip

The pattern PE trains into you, reversed, so twenty thousand breaths a day stop quietly working against every other thing you do.

Check yourself You can feel your lower ribs move before your shoulders do.

Tell real progress from a good day

Milestones at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24, and a clear read on what to change when the numbers flatten out instead of guessing at the mirror.

Check yourself You can look at week 8 and say what to progress next.

From the founder

I'm not writing this as a doctor looking at a scan. I had the sunken chest, the flared ribs, the shirt that stayed on at the pool, and nobody could tell me what actually works.

Everything on this page exists because I needed it to exist ten years ago.

I had it. I fixed it.
Now I help you do the same.

I'm Mihail Veleski. Pale, skinny, sunken chest, flared ribs, I had it all, and it wrecked my confidence. Years of consistent, non-surgical training made my deformity unnoticeable.

I founded Mr. Pectus to give people the exact path I had to find the hard way, tested on my own body first, then refined every time someone hit a wall I had not planned for.

15 / 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, mobility, posture, severity assessment and tracking) are fully usable without one. That said, if you're serious about correcting PE, a vacuum bell is the single most effective non-surgical tool, and the course covers exactly how to source one.

Will this work for me as an adult? +

Yes. Teens respond faster because their cartilage is softer, but adults correct PE with this protocol too, it simply takes longer. The severity module maps a realistic timeline for your age and starting point.

How much time does it take each day? +

Around 20 minutes of active work most days, plus your vacuum bell sessions (which you can do while relaxing). The system is built to fit a normal life, not take it over.

How is this different from the free content online? +

Free clips show isolated exercises with no order, no dosage and no way to tell if they're working. This is the connected system, the right inputs, in the right sequence, with a measurement protocol so you know it's working.

How fast will I see results? +

Most people see measurable change within the first 8–12 weeks of consistent work, with visible change in photos by months 4–6. Depth of the depression, age and daily consistency are the biggest factors.

Is my pectus too severe for this? +

Most cases, mild to moderately severe, respond to the protocol. Very deep, symptomatic depressions should be reviewed by a doctor first, and the course says so plainly. The severity self-assessment in Module 01 tells you honestly where you stand before you've invested a single week.

I've already tried a vacuum bell and nothing happened, will this be different? +

That's the most common story I hear, and it's almost never the device, it's the protocol. Wrong pressure, wrong session structure, no breathing or training work around it. The course exists precisely to fix that: the bell is one input inside a system, not the system.

Will the results last, or does the dip come back? +

Correction you've built through remodelled cartilage, expanded rib mechanics and a stronger posture base doesn't vanish overnight. The final module is a maintenance plan, a much smaller time commitment that protects what you built.

I also have rib flare, does the course cover that? +

PE and rib flare travel together, and the breathing and posture work in this course carries over directly. If flare is your dominant issue, the dedicated Rib Flare Course goes deeper on it, and the quiz can tell you which to start with.

Do I need a gym membership? +

No. The daily protocol runs at home. The training component includes bodyweight options; if you do train in a gym, the course shows you how to make your sessions work with the correction instead of against it.

How do I get access after checkout? +

Instantly. Checkout takes a minute and the link to everything lands in your inbox right after, read it on your phone, tablet or laptop. Lifetime access, free updates, nothing to ship.

What if it’s not for me? +

You're covered by a 30-day, no-questions-asked, 100% money-back guarantee. Go through it, and if it isn't what was described, email me for a full refund.
