I'm having trouble walking straight upright. I've dealt with this issue since I was a kid, and my walking posture is really off. My shoulders and back are always hunched forward when I walk. I'm looking for exercises that might help me improve my posture and walk straight. Any suggestions?

Your problem is termed as kyphosis... Kyphosis is an exaggerated, abnormal rounding or curving of the vertebrae that affects the posture.... Kyphosis can result from trauma, degenerative diseases, problems during fetal development, infections, endocrine diseases, birth defects, spinal tumors and other factors.. Depending on cause and severity of the kyphosis, there are many different treatment options. Postural kyphosis may be improved with an exercise and a physical therapy program that strengthens supporting muscles

I've been having these annoying muscle spasms for the last couple of days in that V-cut area of my lower abdomen, you know, where it leads down to the pelvis. It's a bit strange because they always seem to happen in the same spot unless I'm lying on my right side, then they shift to the middle of my lower abdomen. I talked to a neurologist friend of the family, and they mentioned it might be due to a stretched muscle, but I don't really feel any pain there. Just wondering if that sounds right to you or if it could be something else?
refer to general physician
