Hi,
Several years ago a doctor diagnosed me with Scheuermann’s kyphosis, and slight scoliosis. He didn't really offer much advice beyond listing all the general options people have. It appeared in my teens and now in my twenties it manifests as me having a slouching posture. Appearance wise I can correct it by consciously maintaining a straight back but as soon as I forget I slouch again. I have not been able to continually maintain the 'correct' posture despite being encouraged by many people to do so.
I have tried on some cloth strap like brace bought for me from some catalog but it doesn't do anything so i stopped using it. I don't currently have an pain, and aside from slouching there doesn't seem to be any other problem so far but I'm afraid the problem might get worse over time. Does anybody have any general advice about how I should proceed or what I can do to help this condition?
thanks
