Kyphotic Dowager



That's right---Give me some espresso and I'm unstoppable with the posts! On my lunch break I made some interesting observations and I came to a conclusion about a lot of office-worker types. Kyphotic Dowager is not the new character in a Quinten Tarantino movie, but what happens to people who don't exercise (an abnormally increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine as viewed from the side, such thoracic kyphosis is due to vertebral collapse frequently seen in the elderly women. This occurs due to collapse/compression of several bones in the spine as a result of osteoporosis. There is a simultaneous loss of height and back pain)!
Hit the gym people!
