Thanks for this. I appreciate therapists like this offering approaches to treat kyphosis. But the "subject" is always some young, fit guy or gal with pretty normal backs. I would like to see these with a real kyphosis patient; even with before and after videos. For long established kyphosis like mine, it seems pretty hopeless.
Typically, they’re going to video with a student or colleague, not a patient. I’m not disagreeing,, of course. And that first stretch, I can assure, on a real patient would over stretch low back lordosis and not touch kyphosis, unless the patient is schooled in focusing and isolating the effort to their thoracic back.And most older kyphosis patients would not be able to achieve the start position of the last exercise.
Congratulations …all 4 exercises are masterpiece ..and real science based .I have Thoracic kyphosis .Also front head ..Cervical spinal stenosis ..Send me best exercises for head & Neck muscles ..year 2022 ..science based only…Will appreciate your kindness

good morning Dr. I am having T.K. and keenly watched the exercises. excellent. I liked it. very simple to follow. dr. is there any age restriction to do it. I am 63. I developed TK due to constant typing for 40 years in office and I was one of the most toughest highspeed typist. I am also having genu varum, cer spondylitis, all occupation related. please advise. please give mr link for c curve exercise and cer. spondylitis. thank you Dr.💐💐💐🥰👌👌👌👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏
They all show these exercises with people who are almost fit. I find last exercise not good enough because if you have true problems, you just cant touch wall with your palms. It;'s even impossible to rotate otherwise you arch your lowerback so much.
i have an hyperkyphosis of the toracic spine (hunchback), and i've been told i wont get rid of it visually but at least i would love to lower the pains when i work; are these excerices good enough for the pain or these are just for mobility?
I’ve gotten rid of of mines through working out and therapy. Unfortunately, I had a lower back injury and got a desk job and it’s back. I am currently working on getting rid of it and being more consistent with my exercises to Keep it gone
@@candices2582can u tell me what specific exercises u did to get rid of it? I have a 50 degree curve and have been trying spine extensions using a foam roller and have seen some changes in 2 months.
Hi Vishakha, consistency is key here. It depends on your starting level (how difficult or easy is it to do those), but generally speaking in a few months, you should start feeling improvement. Please also have a look at another video we made on improving your mid back mobility; that will help as well!
@@kennymerlevede8822. I m in my 30's and my kyphosis issue has started a few years back especially due to sitting hunched in front of computer. Now I feel difficulty in even lying flat on the floor facing up. I really feel bad and worried as everyone treats me as a handicap coz of my bad posture. Pls suggest and help me in getting out it. I even feel ashamed of getting in front of anyone in my work. It will be great thing if my lyf if u could help in solving my problem. Please do consider with ur response.
lordosis and kyphosis is normal in the spine, it's just an excessive kyphosis in the mid back that we are talking about. Lordosis is normal in the lower back and the neck :-)
It's good that you don't have pain. Many people won't have pain with excessive thoracic kyphosis, but it's still good to do these exercises and try to keep your spine mobile!
Is it possible to fix hunchback? Like it’s never been there? I’m 16 years old boy and I developed kyphosis while I was obese. My back is really ugly, I want to fully correct it, is it possible?
Hi George, it will depend on the severity and the kind of hunchback you're talking about. Some forms will be more difficult to treat, but in any case, these exercises can only help (either a little or a lot)
ayo. It is possible. just keep stretching like this and use a pull up bar or even a doorframe would work, but just put your arms up and squeeze your shoulder blades. I looked like Quazi Moto last year and now its not too noticeable, but I also haven't been super consistent as my job requires me to hunch over and push a cart all day. Don't give up dood. It's possible.
Honestly it takes much more than a few exercises to fix kyphosis, especially if you aren't doing them with good form. It actually requires a lifestyle change and regular strengthening and stretching exercises. And of course if your kyphosis is structural then you shouldn't expect any progress in your curve reduction.
Hi. First of all, thanks for the video. But in my opinion, the first exercise is not true for thoracic kyphosis. he shouldnt do cat part of the exercise. because it can increase the kyphosis
I think he said that the position of ant pelvic tilt and retract the scapula then hold the position and release the position by post pelvic tilt and protract the scapula .. this for activat the multividus and erctospini muscle
Hi Enis. The cat part of this exercise will not increase kyphosis, it will only improve the mobility. You're right that the 'cow' position is the one you should focus on, but the opposite won't hurt in any way 🙂
Exactly! That is the absolute worst exercise someone with kyphosis could possibly do. Just look at how it exaggerates and encourages an increase in kyphosis. Not sure why I see this exercise in videos claiming to help eliminate kyphosis...
@@cinnamongirl3070 Because all of those "fix your kyphosis" videos are extremely misleading and don't actually refer to hyperkyphosis but rather to forward neck or rounded shoulders posture. They have no idea what kyphosis actually is.
@@tayyaba267 visit a physiotherapist. There isn't one specific exercise that will fix your kyphosis. But generally you should focus on thoracic mobility, stretching your pecs and strengthening your back and core

Sir i've thoracic kyphosis with straight lumber curve should i do these exercise
It is impossible for people with ankylosing spondylitis since their spine is so hard to move
They all show these exercises with people who are almost fit. I find last exercise not good enough because if you have true problems, you just cant touch wall with your palms. It;'s even impossible to rotate otherwise you arch your lowerback so much.

What if you have kyphosis and lordosis together,
lordosis and kyphosis is normal in the spine, it's just an excessive kyphosis in the mid back that we are talking about. Lordosis is normal in the lower back and the neck :-)
My unborn baby has kyphosis problem can it will get cure after birth as you showing I'm worried
baby tend to be more flexible bone (baby bone) in asian culture they uses warp the baby tight enough so they get straight back
I am 16 year old boy I have this posture but dosent pain what do I do
It's good that you don't have pain. Many people won't have pain with excessive thoracic kyphosis, but it's still good to do these exercises and try to keep your spine mobile!

When you say 15 times 3 sets is it
(1) 5-5-5
Or
15-15 -15?
3x15
Good, oh not its v. very good exercise
Do a cat cow exercise will not help a person get rid of his/her hunch back. It will make it worse.
