A member asked:
What can i do to reduce the effects of kyphosis on me and still play sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends in part on your age and the flexibility of the deformity. If it is flexible, then postural exercises emphasizing extension and also stretching can help; if it is rigid that is of limited benefit. Don't hesitate to be seen by a doctor to discuss further.
