Posture Information | Postural Kyphosis

Your spine has several curves, including a "kyphotic" curve in the mid back. When most people grow concerned about developing a postural kyphosis, they are really concerned that the curve has become too much.

In order to properly address this issue, we really should divide the people into two groups; those that do have an increased postural kyphosis due to problems from their muscles and spinal joints, and those that have more permanent changes due to osteoporosis related problems.

If you're in the first group, the solution will require some effort but can be changed relatively easily. The muscles in the front of your body (primarily your chest - the pec muscles) need to be stretched, while the back muscles need to be strengthened.

A lot of people spend a lot of time at the gym strengthening only the muscles in the front of their body. Most men do some sort of chest exercise every time they go! However, it's the stretching that will help alleviate the postural kyphosis.

If you're in the second group, our primary goal is to help alleviate the back problems you're experiencing that are related to posture. You may have already developed back problems that are due to compression fracture or a vertebra that has changed shape.

If this has gone on long enough, some of your spinal joints may have already fused. They will not move again, and now other spinal joints are moving more to compensate for this. It's not too late to strengthen your back and do your best to keep more of these problems from showing up, but it will be more challenging.

If you've already developed more of a postural kyphosis than your comfortable with, starting exercises to attain good posture will help keep you out of a permanent condition.

"Everything You Need To Change Your Posture For Good."

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
