As people age, they often experience changes in posture, leading to conditions such as kyphosis or hyperkyphosis, characterized by an exaggerated curvature of the spine. Poor posture, especially in younger individuals, can lead to postural kyphosis due to muscle imbalances. In older adults, age-related kyphosis typically arises from structural changes in the spine, often linked to osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures. Recognizing signs of hyperkyphosis, such as inability to stand straight, back pain, or loss of height, is crucial. Fortunately, early intervention with exercises and body awareness may help address and potentially reverse these issues.
One common cause of a curved back is poor posture, which usually develops over time due to muscle imbalances, particularly in younger people who spend hours hunched over.
Fortunately, postural kyphosis is often reversible with the right exercises, stretches, and posture awareness, making it important to practice good posture early on.
