A member asked:
If i wear a corset for kyphosis correction, can i continue to go to the gym? what physical restrictions will i have? do i need to wear it 24/7?

Yes : You absolutely can still exercise and go to the gym while being treated for kyphosis with a corset, and it is good to do so. Understand that a brace for kyphosis in an adult patient has no long term structural effect, it is simply to treat your symptoms, as such it does not need to be worn 24/7, nor should it be. Wearing a brace too much can cause stiffnessand atrophy.
