Dowagers Hump

My mother suffered from this. Need to try to stop the vertebrae from collapsing as you age. I think the best you can do is ask for a bone density scan and make sure you have enough calcium in your diet. consider some weight bearing exercise if appropriate.

I asked my physio about this last year and she gave me three exercises that are in this article:

My mother, aunt and grandfather all had this, linked to osteoporosis. I was aware of family history, and have taken as many preventative steps as I can. At 75, I've avoided it so far, but may yet succumb, as genetics are hard to avoid!
