FAQ

Is the exercise goal to restore the curve?

This site does not promise curve restoration. More useful goals are pain, numbness, sleep, motion, strength, and activity tolerance.

What if numbness is worse the next day?

Reduce or stop that drill, record the response, and seek care if numbness spreads, weakness appears, or function worsens.

Does a cervical kyphosis report mean my neck will keep getting worse?

Not necessarily. Curve language needs symptoms, exam, and function. Mild stable symptoms usually start with load, sleep, strength, and red-flag screening.
