05 May How Better Posture Can Improve Pectus Excavatum: Eoin’s Story

Bad posture and poor abdominal pressure are the main factors that contribute to Pectus Excavatum. This issue which presents as a “sunken chest” is traditionally thought to be a birth defect and untreatable. With the right understanding of core and abdominal pressures, substantial improvements can be made using Functional Patterns.

Before Eoin started using Functional Patterns he suffered with low back pain as well as shoulder pain as a result of his poor posture. As an athlete, Eoin was struggling to keep up with a demanding schedule which involved playing for multiple teams, with sometimes as many as 6 training sessions in one week.

Before

  • Pectus Excavatum
  • Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Shift
  • Kyphosis
  • Lack of Core Tension
  • Scapular Wing
  • Ribcage Compression

After

  • Improved Pectus Excavatum
  • Neutral Pelvic Position
  • No more Kyphosis
  • Improved Core Pressure
  • No Scapular Wing
  • Ribcage Expansion

Eoin trained with us for just over 2 years. He did his work outside of sessions and has made huge changes to his structure. He no longer has back or shoulder pain and can deal with the high demands of his training and playing schedule. He has also made substantial athletic improvements on the pitch, feeling and playing better than ever.
