Kyphosis is a postural disorder and is most often caused by a prolonged sedentary lifestyle and weak lower back and upper back muscles.
1What lies at the root of postural disorders?
- Weak muscles
- Shortened fasciae
- Faulty movement patterns
The exercises in the video may temporarily reduce muscle tension. But remember: kyphosis is not just a matter of tension — there is no full recovery without a thorough investigation of the cause.
