How to recover from kyphosis, I have had this since 10 years of age, now I am 30, any exercises, etc, welcome?


I do not want any surgical measures now. I have not had any therapies until now. When I was studying secondary grade, I used to carry a heavy bag of books on my back, I think from that time, I am having the kyphosis, but now to a marked degree. Is there any chance for me to get back the normal spine curvature through conservative measures? Any ideas, suggestions are welcome. Also, please provide web site addresses that offer a systematic approach to related conservative measures.

Thanks a ton in advance.

It depends if you have a true kyphosis or not. A medically defined kyphosis is an actual curvature forward of the spinal column and is detected on X-ray. It is distinct from slouching which is much more common. It is very unlikely that you have a kyphosis from carrying heavy books on your back, but that does not mean you do not have a kyphosis for other reasons, including diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.

I know you don't want to hear this, but I am afraid you will no longer be able to correct the kyphosis by non-surgical measures. You are now an adult and your bones are fully grown, with their articulations set in place. Therefore the structure of your spine can no longer change on its own. Surgical correction is the only option.

If you are actually just slouching then obviously maintaining good posture etc will reverse this. However, I doubt that is the case from what you are saying.

I think the most useful advice would be to suggest you actually see a doctor, preferably a rheumatologist or an orthopedic surgeon.
