Humpy upper back and neck problem

I’ve had poor neck posture for a long time. My head pokes forwards. My physio says my cervical vertebrae are fused probably due to too many years hunched over a desk and my computer. It is unsightly and makes me look and feel older than I am.
I don’t think I am alone in this. Has anyone any advice about disguising this problem?

Make sure your bone density is okay and that will help you not to get a dowagers hump.

It used to be called a ‘dowager hump’ as only the wealthy dowagers got it.
