Kyphosis 70degrees all doctors said i don't need surgery because it will not get worsen but they advice me to swim can that make my back look better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: it won't change the shape of your back, which has a bony abnormality. What swimming will do is keep your muscles strong so that you will have less pain from the bony abnormality. That's important because you can then smile and let your personality make up for any anxiety about how you look.
