I used to have very poor posture and now have a hunchback. is there anything at all i can do to reverse it or at least make it less noticeable?

Specializes in Wound care

Yes. : At your age if you are properly educated in the types of exercises to do and are diligent and consistent in doing them, you can improve or overcome a postural abnormality. It would be best to seek help from a physical therapist.
