Hunched Posture
Hunched posture, also known as hyperkyphosis, is an excessive curvature of the upper back that gives the shoulders and trunk a forward tilt.
Common causes: sustained postural habits, muscle weakness, changes that come with age, or spinal conditions can contribute to the curve becoming more pronounced.
Signs to watch for: in addition to the stooped appearance, it may be accompanied by tension or discomfort in the back, shoulders, and neck.
Who assesses it? An orthopedist can study the spine, and a physical therapist can guide postural and muscular work. If you notice that your back is curving more and more or pain appears, a professional review helps understand the origin and the options to follow.
