Yes: This posture may come from a medical condition called scoliosis or curvature of the spine. This is not "a habit". The spine has made a change in shape or alignment. Physical therapy can help with exercises to counteract the tendency of the spine to weaken. Yoga training can help you learn breathing techniques to lengthen the spine. It's the posture of tommorrow you should care about.
