Is there any way to help get rid of kyphosis forver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None proven: Kyphosis is the normal concave curve forward in the thoracic spine.Over curvature in teens maybe treated with surgery with very limited success.Self treatment with posture control and exercise is best option at 34 yrs old.
