Do you notice a visible hump or rounding at the base of your neck? Does your upper back feel stiff or painful after long hours of sitting? Do you struggle to maintain an upright posture? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for posture correction? These symptoms may indicate a condition commonly called dowagerβs hump.
What Is Dowagerβs Hump?
Dowagerβs hump refers to an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine that creates a rounded appearance at the base of the neck. It often develops due to prolonged poor posture, weak upper back muscles, tight chest muscles, and excessive screen use. Over time, it can lead to neck pain, shoulder tension, and reduced spinal mobility.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on improving posture and strengthening supportive muscles. Treatment focuses on:
Postural correction and ergonomic training
Strengthening upper back and shoulder blade muscles
Stretching tight chest and neck muscles
Thoracic spine mobility exercises
Core strengthening for spinal support
What You Can Try at Home
Sit and stand with your shoulders back, keep screens at eye level, stretch your chest regularly, strengthen upper back muscles, and take posture breaks during desk work.
For expert care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy for dowagerβs hump correction, helping restore upright posture and reduce discomfort.
