A member asked:
How bad does your posture have to be to stunt your growth? how long do you have to have bad posture as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kyphosis: Bad posture does not stunt growth. It leads to kyphosis. An abnormal foreword bending on the spine. No set length of time that causes it. It is slowly progressive.
