Neck hump and rounded shoulders
How long to see results? I have been doing exercises on and off for years and I never see a difference. I’m self conscious about how up neck hump is visable. I have even tried going to the chiropractor and nothing has helped. He gave me similar exercises you have given. I’m also thinking about a neck massager for that area in addition to exercises- is this a good idea? What else can I do?
Exercises help
I have a hump my base of the neck which is c7 sticking out. What exercises that I can do? To not hurt my c7. Light exercises. I have muscle weakness and that my posture is not great. The hump makes me a turtle neck. My chest is out and rounded shoulders. But my pelvis does not align to my spine. What can you recommend for exercises. Thank you.
