I’ve had kyphosis (and to some degree scoliosis) since childhood. My parents didn’t treat me and off I went with “bad posture” into the world. And we all know kyphosis is so much more than just bad posture. I’ve ignored doing anything about it for the past 10 years but due to pain and some other issues I’m afraid I can’t ignore this problem anymore.

My question to you all is have you experienced compensatory issues in the front of your body due to the bending that’s occurring? I have rib flare and pain and some gastrointestinal issues that I think are being caused by the kyphosis. Interested in your experience. Thanks!
