Warning Signs Of Kyphosis

Muscle Fatigue

Muscle fatigue occurs during abnormal kyphosis. When the back does not routinely work as it should, the muscles holding it in place become stressed and uncomfortable. Also, these muscles lose the strength to function properly and grow fatigued, so it’s harder to have proper posture. Treating the muscle fatigue issues that surround kyphosis is usually done with braces and exercises. After a full examination has been performed, and a diagnosis of abnormal kyphosis made, physical therapy helps the patient regain some of the strength they may have lost by slouching or by being bent over. Two yoga poses that work well to build back muscles are the cobra pose and plank pose. Variations of these poses exist so an individual rebuilding their back muscles may start gently and work up to the harder versions of these poses that require more strength. Massage is also useful in relaxing fatigued muscles.
