What is postural kyphosis?

Postural kyphosis is an abnormal curvature of the upper spine. This type of kyphosis is usually associated with long periods of poor posture. It is often called "round back" due to the very obvious outer curve that develops, and usually gives the appearance of a stereotypical hunchback. This condition can be avoided or adequately remedied if it is caught early enough. Very advanced postural kyphosis is also often treatable, but becomes more complex and the results may not be as good. This is also seen in people who spend too much time tilting or toleration forward, for example, bending over a table or table to write or finish small, fine hobbies or craft tasks. It is very important to ensure that the hobby, craft and work equipment are set at the correct height and position to encourage good posture and reduce the risk of postural kyphosis. This position forces the pelvis back and shoulders forward, which eventually induces the condition. It is advisable to remind children and fix their posture to become a kindou in nature when they grow up in adolescence.

spine and muscles in the back and upper chest are very strong and remarkably durable, but repeated daily abuse and wear and tears eventually take tax. Although bad posture seems to have no immediate negative effects, in long -term serious problems such as postural kyphosis. This condition can also be preceded by healing. Ensuring a good posture is an excellent preventive and timely capture of the status of it easy to treat.

Repair of the posture before the curve becomes very obvious, generally slowly corrected the inappropriate curvature of the spine. Laying on the back on a flat surface forces the body into the correct alignment and can help with early intervention of postural kyphosis. Regular exercises to strengthen muscle and core will help relax and strengthen the affected muscles, which slowly allow the spine and muscles to return to their anatomically correctposition.

If the curve is very obvious, it is simply an attempt to accept a healthy posture very unlikely that it will not work. By this time, muscles and tendons in the chest and abdomen are closed and tightened to adapt to the curves. In severe cases, it is often necessary to wear a specially equipped retraction. This can be modified so that the muscles slowly stretch and reduce the curve, which eventually allowed the patient to initiate muscle exercise.
