text: hunchback? i have scoliosis, and as a result of this my spine is not striaght. i tend to slouch a lot too. i have to wear a backbrace for my scoliosis which pushes my shoulders forward, and is making me slouch more. i do yoga to try help straighten myself, but it doesnt seem to help. how can i get my back straighter and further away from being a hunchback? try getting a huge inflateable ball then lie on your back on the ball then if you hear your back crack its working i've done it and it really works!
