28 yr old male, with thoracic "postural" kyphosis since adolescence (don't know degree) can it heal or improve with exercise, physio or any other way?

Specialist: AT this age it is very difficult to treat this. May need surgery which at your age is difficult. See an ortho specialist in a referral center that does this type of work. BEst wishes.
