    Can your posture be corrected?

    Dr. Robert H. Shmerling

    M.D. Senior Faculty Editor, Harvard Health Publishing · 30 years of exp

    Poor posture can be corrected though it’s not usually quick or easy. The first step is to figure out why.One common cause is osteoporosis, a disease in which bones are thinner and more prone to fracture than normal. If a spinal bone (vertebra) fractures, it may become wedge shaped instead of its usual rectangular shape. Over time, the spine can tilt forward over these wedge-shaped bones, leading to stooped posture. Medications are available to strengthen bones weakened by osteoporosis and prevent future fractures, but there is no treatment short of surgery to significantly improve posture problems related to osteoporosis. In severe cases, surgery can restore the shape of the vertebra or re-align their position.Another possible reason for poor posture is weak abdominal and back muscles. Exercises to strengthen these core muscles and paying attention to your posture to avoid “slouching” may be helpful. However, it remains uncertain whether major changes in posture can be accomplished with exercise and vigilance alone.
