Kyphosis
What is kyphosis?
Kyphosis is an increased curvature of the upper spine (thoracic vertebrae), and may be:
- Postural issues due to incorrect sitting posture and muscle weakness
- Or related to vertebral changes/osteoporosis in the elderly
- Or it may appear in some adolescents during growth (depending on the assessment)
Physical therapy is very helpful, especially in postural cases, and relieves symptoms and improves movement even in age-related cases, provided there is commitment and safety.
When do you need natural treatment for kyphosis?
A noticeable curvature of the upper back or a forward tilt of the head
Pain between the shoulder blades or in the neck
Rapid fatigue when sitting or standing
Weakness in the back and shoulder muscles
Difficulty standing “upright” for a period of time
Stiffness in the upper back or chest
Important note: If you have sudden severe back pain, suspected vertebral fracture/compression (especially with osteoporosis), or unusual numbness/weakness—a medical evaluation is recommended before starting exercises.
Goals of physiotherapy
- Posture correction exercises and strengthening of back and shoulder muscles
- Flexibility exercises for the chest and upper spine
- Training on healthy sitting, sleeping, and phone use posture
- Breathing exercises and improving rib cage mobility (depending on the case)
- A simple and clear home exercise program to maintain between sessions
Why is home treatment beneficial?
Because hunchback is often linked to a daily routine inside the house:
sitting on a low sofa, using the phone for extended periods, sleeping position, and screen/desk height, inside the house we accurately identify these causes and modify them practically, and choose exercises that suit your tools and space, and this gives faster results and proves improvement.
- Complete comfort inside your home
- Faster results due to consistent commitment
- Privacy and comfortable environment
- Suitable for the elderly and those with acute injuries
- A service that reaches all areas quickly
