Nobody hands you a plan.

You get told two things. Live with it, or have surgery. Then you go home and start searching, and what you find is a forum post from 2011 or a hospital page describing a procedure that costs more than a car.

This is the thing that should have been handed to you at that appointment.

Who wrote it

I had pectus excavatum. My chest measured 25mm deep. I ran this protocol on myself every day and filmed all of it, and it now measures 4mm.

What is inside

37 pages, written while I was running the protocol on my own chest.

• How the chest wall responds to sustained pressure, in plain language
• The full daily protocol: session length, pressure, frequency, what a session should actually feel like
• How to measure your own depth at home and track it month to month
• Sizing, so you do not end up with the wrong device
• The brace and skin routine between sessions
• What the published research shows, and where it stops. Including who it does not work for.

Why the assessment comes first

The guide on its own is information. The assessment makes it yours.

Eight questions, about two minutes. At the end you have:

• Your severity band, so you know which parts of the protocol apply to you
• Your device size, calculated from your own measurement
• A straight answer on whether non-surgical correction is realistic for your case
• The guide, in your inbox, immediately

We do not publish the guide anywhere else. The assessment is the only way to get it, because a protocol you cannot apply to your own chest is worth nothing.

It might tell you no

Some chests are too rigid. Some cases belong with a surgeon. If your answers point that way, the assessment says so, and tells you what to ask a doctor instead.

Two minutes to find that out beats buying something that ends up in a drawer.
