Dump The Hump: Preventing and Reversing Dowager’s Hump
What Will I Learn?
- Dump The Hump is a series aimed to help people reverse and prevent Dowager's Hump or kyphosis, which is a condition where the spine curves at an increased angle causing a "hump" in the upper back. This can lead to various problems including bad posture and difficulty breathing due to pressure on the lungs from supporting weight being placed onto them when slouching upright for long periods during day-to-day living activities.

This course was filled with so much helpful information! I have started to see a bit of fatty area on the back of my neck and know that can eventually turn into a Dowager's hump and want to prevent it getting worse. I have been doing the recommended exercises for a couple of weeks and have started watching my diet more closely. Very thankful for this course.
