Hi, I’ve been trying my best to improve my posture, due to scoliosis and kyphosis, by keeping my chin/neck back, to improve my forward head and also keeping my elbows back to improve my rounded shoulders. I think from doing these corrections I am causing discomfort in my right rib cage (especially), etc. Has anyone experienced this...it’s so frustrating, I’m trying to improve my posture but it’s causing discomfort. Thank you!

    Hi Paullie,

    Yes I get the same thing but in my left ribs usually. I find the exercises that I do can aggravate other areas or make things worse, but with perseverance things always get better overall. I suppose when we try and correct one area it makes another out of line.

    Kind regards,

      Hi Dudydoo,

      Thank you so much for your reply! I’m sorry you’re going through the same type of thing, but I feel better knowing it’s not unusual.
