    I am a 51 and female. I excercise 3 times a week and weight train 2 times a week with free weights. I recently noticed that my shoulders are curving and I appear to have a hunched back! I always practice good posture and correct form when working out. I am in good health and have no vitamin defiency such as D or calcium. 10 years ago I was involved in an car accident that left me with no visible injuries but I did feel sore and had to have physical therapy to relieve the soreness in my neck. Now I am having neck pain and stiffness and limited movement in the right arm. when I receive a massage once a week these symptoms disappear! I feel no pain while working out, should I seek other professional opinion?

    go to a Biophysics chiropractor. They specifically handle postural issues and help restore optimal spinal curvature. It is a peer-reviewed research technique that corrects aberrant posture. So go to idealspine.com and try to locate one nearby. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Occasionally you read an article that gives you insight into a health condition that provides a cause for which someone may not have considered. As in this case of bodybuilding and posture problems.
    That’s what makes this such a valuable and informative article.
    Working with nutrition for 14 years I’ve gotten to know several Chiropractors very well. especially Dr. Tom Zorich. I would think it advisable based on this article that anyone engaged in bodybuilding should most likely see a chiropractor on a fairly regular basis to check for problems before they get out of hand.
    This article also points to the general good advice of keeping your body and habits in balance.

    I do a lot of training for hockey and I’ve noticed myself starting to hunch a little bit. I never really thought about it as a muscle imabalance thing but I guess it makes sense! Good article. Thanks!

    My father-n-law is starting to get a really bad hunch back. When he drives in the car he has to sit hunchbacked, because his back is starting to be this way all the time.

    I’m 13 years old, i have a hunched back, and i have knee problems especially a second bump under my knee cap which only hurts when it bangs into something really hard. I’ve been sucking in my stomach for 4 years now since i never eat balanced diets (yet im not fat, theres just some extra fat). I’ve tried doing pilates to get a fitter body, (though im not unfit at all.) and i also wear a belt for straightening my back which i dont think will help me in the future at all. Is there anything you can to do help me?

    Nice article – poor posture can manifest itself into a number of different health issues over time if not corrected. Good posture should be checked and practiced each day. There is a wall test you can do – stand with your head, shoulders, and back against wall and heels about 5-6 inches forward. Draw in your lower abdominals, decreasing the arch in your low back. Push away from the wall and try to maintain this upright, vertical alignment.
