How bad is your posture?Symptoms of kyphosis, that may be present or not, depending on the type and extent of the deformity, include mild back pain, fatigue, appearance of round back and breathing difficulties. Severe cases can cause great discomfort and even lead to death.
Treatment for kyphosis may involve anti-inflammatory drugs as well as exercises to strengthen the abdominal and hamstring muscles
Basically, if it is a mild case, it should be easily corrected with correct workouts.

Foam rolling can help.

Whats that? ill check on that.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:Foam rolling can help.Thoracic Extensors, Middle and Lower Trapezius, Rhomboids: With your arms behind your head (not pulling on the neck), lie supine with roller positioned in the middle of your back; your glutes should be on the ground. Roll upward, reversing direction when you reach the level of the armpits. This is an excellent intervention for correcting kyphosis.

Dumbbell rows
Swimming

Btw, if you think of foam rollers, it also means you need more flexibility. What I have read recently is that poor flexibility or muscular imbalance can cause bad posture too.
