What you can do to help the adjustments change your posture are the following:
Nutrition: Make sure that the hump doesn’t get worse from microfractures of the vertebrae. Everyone knows to take calcium, but the overlooked nutrients in bone health are protein and vitamin C. Don’t be one of those people that take calcium supplements but are deficient in protein and vitamin C. Protein and vitamin C are the building blocks of the matrix of bone that calcium attaches itself to.
Foam roll daily: Get a foam roll and use it daily. Roll the lower area of the middle back. This should take no longer than 3-5 minutes.
Stretch the front of the shoulders: Go in a doorway and put your elbows on the door frame and stretch the front of the shoulders/chest muscles for 30 seconds three times per day.
Strengthen the back muscles: If you have access to a rowing/weightlifting machine, use it a lot. Most people workout the “beach muscles” and neglect the back. Rowing/pulls, pull ups, spinal extensions will all help the adjustments work better and avoid the ugly hump in the back.
