Question
What exercises are good for a 7-year-old girl with a mild funnel chest?
Answer
The main approach is for parents to accompany their child in doing chest expansion exercises daily, which involves extending hands as widely as possible to both sides while taking deep breaths, then slowly exhaling. Place hands on the chest and repeat 20 to 30 times, twice daily. It is also advisable for the child to do prone support exercises every morning or evening, starting with at least 10 to 15 repetitions, and gradually increasing the number.
