Do you, or someone you know, have a pronounced curve in the upper spine so that you can’t stand up straight, or you stand bent over? Do you experience pain in your upper back or even in your abdomen? Does your doctor say you are developing osteoporosis or arthritis in your spine?
If the answer to any or all of these questions are “yes,” you most likely suffer from Dowager’s Hump or hypokyphosis.
What used to be a life sentence of diminishing activity is no more. My class, Dump the Hump: Reversing and Preventing Dowager’s Hump, will give you all the tools you need to help you or a loved one reverse the curvature that is already there or strengthen your back, trunk, and spinal muscles to prevent it from ever being a part of your life.
