A member asked:

I have issues with my head leaning forward over my shoulders when i'm standing/walking and sitting with a rounded back and shoulders. what can i do to improve my posture permanently?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doc : You need a standing x Ray now to determine current flexion deformity.then start extension exercises, shoulder blade pinches and posture training. A repeat film at 1 yr can determine if this made a difference. There are braces which can act as reminder for,posture very helpful in the beginning. Good luck
