She has to go with neck, shoulder and back strengthening exercises as this exercises would help her to correct the posture by strengthening the muscles and supporting the internal structures.

Hi. You can apply hot fermentation on shoulder and back. Ask to take sufficient rest and not to lift any weights and household works.
Place a pillow below neck and below knees while lying straight on her back. This will relax her .
Next Steps
If pain is severe use ultracet or zerodol P for relief
