How to correct pigeon chest in a 9-year-old child

Patient's question:

[Condition Description: My son is 9 years old and has developed pigeon chest symptoms in his chest. How can it be corrected? Treatment history and effectiveness: He has never consulted or received treatment at the hospital. Desired help: Looking for comprehensive and timely treatment]

Doctor's answer:

To correct pigeon chest, the main thing is to exercise and do some stretching movements to recover as soon as possible. The first exercise is to push hands against each other. Have the child bend their elbows and place the palms of both hands against the center of the chest. Breathe in and out evenly, push against each other with force, and maintain this position for a while. Then return to a relaxed state. Another exercise is to push knees with both hands. Maintain a seated position, cross both hands in front of the body, and place them on the knee of the opposite leg. Then inhale, push the knees outward with both hands, while the inner thighs contract and work to keep the knees stationary. This should be done for a sustained period of time. Then exhale and return to a relaxed state. The next exercise is to clasp and lift weights with both hands. Clasp the weight with both palms in front of the chest. The weight can be a book, barbell, or bricks, etc., depending on your situation. Inhale while clenching and lifting the weight, and exhale while returning to a relaxed state.
