A member asked:
I got kyphosis and scoliosis im only 4,11. would doing exercises help me to be straight. people stare at me in public because i got a hunch back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At age 20 your skeletal growth has stopped and exercises will have no significant impact on the alignment/appearance. A consultation with a physical therapist may help you achieve the best posture possible within your limits, Surgical intervention by a spine specialist may offer some long term suggestions for improving your situation.
