Kyphosis
Kyphosis is a condition in which the upper portion of the spine develops an increased forward curvature, creating a rounded or hunched appearance. A small degree of natural curvature is normal, but an excessive curve can affect posture, spinal movement, muscle balance, and, in some cases, comfort.
Kyphosis can occur at different ages and may be related to posture, spinal development, ageing, osteoporosis, previous injuries, or other underlying conditions. Early assessment can help identify the type and contributing factors and guide an appropriate management plan.
At Back In Motion, we take a personalized approach to improving posture, mobility, strength, and functional movement based on each individual’s condition and needs.
Common Types & Causes
- Postural Kyphosis: Often associated with prolonged poor posture and is common in adolescents and young adults.
- Scheuermann’s Kyphosis: A structural spinal condition that usually develops during adolescence.
- Age-Related Kyphosis: May occur due to changes in spinal discs, joints, muscles, or vertebrae.
- Osteoporosis-Related Changes: Weakened bones can develop compression fractures that increase spinal curvature.
- Spinal Injuries: Previous fractures or trauma may contribute to changes in spinal alignment.
- Congenital Conditions: Some people are born with spinal structures that can contribute to abnormal curvature.
Common Symptoms
- Rounded upper back
- Forward head or shoulder posture
- Back stiffness
- Muscle tightness
- Reduced spinal mobility
- Upper or middle back discomfort
- Difficulty maintaining an upright posture
- Reduced physical endurance
Assessment & Rehabilitation
At Back In Motion, assessment may include evaluating posture, spinal mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and everyday movement patterns. If necessary, a healthcare professional may recommend imaging or further evaluation to understand the underlying spinal changes.
A personalized rehabilitation program may include postural exercises, strengthening, mobility training, stretching, balance exercises, and movement education. Strengthening the muscles of the back, shoulders, abdomen, and hips can help support better posture and functional movement when appropriate.
Treatment is tailored according to age, spinal structure, symptoms, physical ability, and individual goals.
Supporting Better Posture
Regular movement, appropriate strengthening, ergonomic adjustments, and avoiding prolonged periods in one position can support healthier spinal function. Children and adolescents should also be encouraged to maintain regular physical activity and good study or screen-use habits.
People with osteoporosis or a history of spinal fractures require additional care when selecting exercises, and high-impact or forceful movements may not be appropriate.
When to Seek Professional Care
Persistent back pain, rapidly changing posture, significant spinal curvature, weakness, numbness, difficulty walking, or breathing difficulties should be professionally evaluated.
With appropriate assessment and individualized rehabilitation, Back In Motion can help you work toward improved posture, mobility, strength, and confidence in everyday movement.
