A member asked:
Thoracic kyphosis age:20 can it be corrected in my age with exercises ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: I don't know the cause, so can't tell for certain if this can be reversed. But, extension exercises, massage, and possibly a brace to reinforce correct spine alignment will be your best chance. The quicker you start,,the better chances of recovery or at least arresting the progression of your curve
