How can i gain weight and get rid of kyphosis without going gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This sounds like 2 different questions. To gain weight eat more calories than you burn in a given day. Kyphosis can often be irreversible if present for many years. You can do home exercises that work on squeezing your shoulder blades together. You may also want to try buying a posture support to wear a couple of hours per day.
