Hi
Yes it can be corrected if it is postural in nature.
As you mentioned that it is 10 years old then he/she needs to be examined for the underlying cause. There are multiple conditions which causes these changes.
Next Steps
I would suggest you to visit doctor and get it examined first and if it is postural then physiotherapy will help.
Health Tips

Yes Sir, this problem can easily be corrected by Physiotherapy. X-ray scan is important to find out if there is any bony abnormality is there or not. We can proceed with the therapy.
Mostly such postures are due to musculoskeletal abnormalities that can be reversed.
Please consult your physiotherapist nearby to get rid of your worries.
