Case description

Youssef proposed that kyphosis can be treated in a manual therapy session through several exercises specific to kyphosis. Kyphosis is curvature of the spine that causes the top of the back to appear more rounded than normal. Everyone has some degree of curvature in their spine. However, a curve of more than 45 degrees is considered excessive. Sometimes kyphosis doesn't cause any symptoms other than the back appearing abnormally curved or hunched. This is considered a new breakthrough in the world of medicine, specifically in the specialty of physical therapy. The duration of the session is from 20 minutes to 30 minutes, and the duration of each exercise is from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.
