Dietitian Support

Individuals with rib cage deformity usually have a thin body structure. This is often due to a lack of physical activity and irregular eating habits.

The nutritional requirements of pectus patients can often differ from standard dietary recommendations. Therefore, special attention should be paid to protein, vitamin and mineral intake. Nutritional plans usually focus on increasing muscle mass. It is also important to develop an appropriate nutritional program to compensate for the lack of physical activity. In this way, pectus patients can have a healthier body composition and achieve better results during the treatment process.

A complementary treatment option is for pectus patients to have their nutritional needs assessed by specialized dietitians and customized nutrition plans developed.
