Bend while walking.
I can't walk straight upright. I suffer this problem from childhood. I walk very improperly. My shoulders and back they are always bent forward while I walk. I want to know some exercises which can help me walk straight.

It seems to be a congenital defect because you are suffering from this since childhood. Still some stretching and postural correction exercises might help you but at what extent it will prove beneficial need proper and further evaluation.

Hi..As Dr. Chetan explained all the causes related to kyphosis, if it's not congenital then it can be corrected with stretching exercises and strengthening exercises. Try to do more overhead activities, raising up your head might be of help.

Hi.... Your problem is termed as kyphosis... Kyphosis is an exaggerated, abnormal rounding or curving of the vertebrae that affects the posture.... Kyphosis can result from trauma, degenerative diseases, problems during fetal development, infections, endocrine diseases, birth defects, spinal tumors and other factors.. Depending on cause and severity of the kyphosis, there are many different treatment options. Postural kyphosis may be improved with an exercise and a physical therapy program that strengthens supporting muscles....
