The Description Is Correct. The Causes And Treatment Are Not.
--
A study guide on kyphosis. Accurate anatomy. Inverted causality.
-
Poor posture is listed as a cause. Poor posture is the presentation.
-
Tight hamstrings, stiff neck, muscle fatigue are listed as symptoms of the curve. They are consequences of the compensation that produced it.
-
The driver is not posture. It is lost thoracic mobility. The thoracic spine fixes. The cervical spine pushes forward. The lumbar spine hyperextends. The pelvis tilts and tensions the hamstrings. A body borrows movement around a blocks middle back.
-
Structural causes exist; in adults, they are the minority.
-
The guide suggests NSAIDs, heat and ice. A hot pack cannot unblock a fixed joint. It masks a mechanical failure.
-
Correction is mechanical: mobilisation, then structured loading, beginning with the thorax is not the segment that hurts.
-
When the upper spine stops moving, the lower back takes the load.
