Question 3

is there any exercises to get rid of hump on the back of my neck? i slouch sometimes my hunch isn't big though

Accepted Answer

Improve your posture: This is not worrisome is there are no associated symptoms such as pain or weakness.  If the contour of your neck lessens with improved posture, it is important to maintain good posture as much as possible by keeping your head above your shoulders.  Focusing on strengthening the muscles between your shoulder blades and abdominal muscles and limiting prolonged sitting will helps.

Question 4

how can i  get rid of a rib hump?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the hump is in an amenable location, surgical resection of the piece of rib can make the protruding rib shape disappear.  This is purely a cosmetic procedure, though.  You can have chronic pain after the procedure if the nerves that run under the ribs are damaged severely.  Also, many insurances will not pay for this as it is only cosmetic.  If you are still interested, check with your doctors.
