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

View allone month after my ACL surgery my surgeon said the graft was fixed very tight and I need physio to improve range of motion my leg takes around 4 minutes to bend to 90 degrees and I can feel the graft stretching inside during this exercise then it feels free but if I keep my leg straight for 10 minutes it gets stiff again and takes another 4 minutes to bend back I do stretches daily when will the graft become more flexible and stop getting stiff so often
It's normal for an ACL graft to feel tight and stiff initially after surgery, especially within the first few months. The tightness you're experiencing is likely due to the graft still healing and the surrounding tissues adjusting. It typically takes time for the graft to integrate into the knee and become more flexible, and consistent stretching and physiotherapy are crucial for optimizing graft flexibility and range of motion.

I'm wondering if practicing hand exercises just once a month could be harmful in any way. Could you shed some light on whether this is safe or if there are any risks involved?
Masturbating once a month is generally considered safe and not harmful to your physical or mental health; in fact, masturbation can have several benefits, such as reducing stress, improving sleep, and boosting mood, as long as it's done in moderation and doesn't interfere with your daily life or relationships.

I've been dealing with this mild pain in my lower body, particularly in my glutes and legs, ever since I had ozone therapy for my L4 L5s1 about three weeks ago. Is this sensation normal? The doctor mentioned it might take up to three months to feel back to normal, but I'm wondering if it's okay for me to go back to my IT job now, which involves a lot of sitting, or should I rest a bit longer? Also, is ozone therapy supposed to be a permanent solution? Just trying to understand what to expect.
yes it is normal, if you are having severe pain you can refer to your respective doctor
