What we help with
Hunchback & Kyphosis Correction in Melbourne
Reverse a rounded upper back by changing the pattern pulling you into it, not just stretching it.
An excessive upper-back curve, kyphosis, or a ‘hunchback’ posture, is one of the most common patterns we see, and one of the most correctable once you address the cause.
Why this keeps happening
A rounded upper back usually develops from years of the ribcage and shoulders drifting forward. Braces and stretches rarely hold, because they don’t change the underlying pattern that keeps pulling you back into that shape.
How Functional Patterns Melbourne helps
Rather than chase the symptom, we assess your whole structure, gait, posture and breathing, to find the movement dysfunction driving it. A full 90-minute posture and gait assessment pinpoints the imbalances, then we retrain them with targeted, functional exercises so your body can hold a better position on its own.
What to expect
- A 90-minute posture and gait assessment to pinpoint the root cause.
- A personalised correction plan built around your body and goals.
- Guided training that rebuilds symmetry, strength and control, so the change lasts.
★★★★★
“I began training with Functional Patterns, determined to address the various physical issues caused by my lack of exercise. I was dealing with lower back pain and calf/ankle tightness which stemmed from poor posture and movement patterns. I also had a weak core, weak glutes, a hunched back, rounded shoulders. My coach, Steve, helped me improve my core and glute activation. After two years, my body no longer suffered from the persistent pain that plagued me daily, and with corrected posture, my physique has also improved significantly.”
