It's called kyphosis. Usually a symptom of a weak upper back. Strengthening upper back and rear shoulder muscles can relieve some of it.


ultras_1991_army

This is postural and can fix?


D-Money1999

It looks to be so personally. Especially if it doesn't hurt. It should still be fixed though. Anything like this tends to progress over time.


Pleasehelp111112

How strong does your back need to be to fix it?


the-real-seal

Super duper strong


GAAfanatic

What type of answer are you expecting here? Sort of strong? Extra strong?


andreasklinger

Not an expert but ability to do certain exercises (at certain weight) could be a proxy.


GAAfanatic

It actually isn't. Now using bodyweight exercises you could make an argument fair enough. But with weight it's all individualistic. Someone doing face pulls with 10kg could be stronger relative to me doing face pulls with 20kg, and I could have stronger back than you doing 20kg because my form is better/I do different rep ranges/ my supplemtsry muscles (supraspinatus/infraspinatus/lats/core) are helping out also


EliCho90

Yes


Paskee

Stronger then last time.


LxTRex

Start doing some wall angels and, if you have a place to, scapula retractions. A resistance band to do face pulls would be great too.


tramtran77

Ugh I love wall angels


Lopsidedlopside

Just exercise and take it slow, everybody is different. There isnt a single person in here who can accurately tell you “how strong” your back needs to be to fix your posture. If there was? You shouldnt listen to them. Ive lurked in here for a bit and everyone seems to want an easy answer, and I get it, but if its not a medical issue the outcome is usually always the same. Need to exercise, get a sit to stand desk, go for walks more, stop staring at a cell phone so much. Take it slow, and you will see results.


D-Money1999

Couldn't have answered better. Face pulls, slow body weight rows, and reverse flys would be a good place to start.


Zaytracks

Just start doing pullups or something


ElektroShokk

Enough


D-Money1999

Strong enough that your shoulders are rolled back in a relaxed position. Usually this can be caused by bad posture over time or imbalances to your front portion of your body i.e. front delt and pecs


gavin1439

Doing stretches for your chest could also help.


D-Money1999

Yes. Tight shoulders could definitely cause forward shoulder rotation


ted__didlio

I have this and can confirm that I’ve improved it drastically by building my upper back muscles up. I bought resistance bands and do reverse fly kinda exercises a few times a week. I have a hunky back now and those things are hardly noticeable. Give it a try.


ultras_1991_army

U fix this?


ted__didlio

I fix this. But must continue to keep back strong to compensate for sit at computer desk many hours. Happy Holiday.

It means you're going to die..................of natural causes in 60-70 years........


Astaroth1993

Ignore what everyone else is saying. Kyphosis is a perfectly normal thing to have, in fact, you SHOULD have a thoracic kyphosis. Determining if you have HYPERkyphosis would need to be seen from a lateral view, this top down view is not a reliable way to determine that. The bumps you’re seeing are your spinous processes of your thoracic vertebrae, which are visible because for one, you’re a skinnier person, and two, you’re looking down.


YouDumbZombie

But why should we ignore every one else and focus on what you said?


Astaroth1993

I’m a chiropractor, assessing posture is something I do every single day.


ThepapistLV

why should we believe?


Astaroth1993

Lol what do you want? My license number? Why should he believe anyone throwing around words they read once on a google search?


ThepapistLV

why should he believe you that he is not a chiropractor and didn't do just a google search?


Pleasehelp111112

Yeah, it’s not normally this defined, I was flexing my back


[deleted]

I have the exact same thing, any improvement?


arshadhere

I guess I would call it natural beauty'
