Brief Summary:
The study aims to Compare PT and bracing in improving posture, pain, and functionality in patient with kyphosis.
It also assess the additive benefits of combining PT with bracing. It also identify sustainable, non-surgical approaches for managing kyphosis in office

Detailed Description:
The study focuses on understanding Kyphosis, defined as excessive forward curvature of the thoracic spine, has become increasingly prevalent in modern work environments due to the sedentary nature of desk jobs. Kyphosis, characterized by a rounded upper back or "hunchback" appearance, is a clinical and postural problem with significant physical, functional, and psychosocial implications. Among office workers, the condition is primarily postural, driven by long hours of desk work, inappropriate ergonomic settings, and inadequate postural awareness. The increasing prevalence of kyphosis in this demographic has led to a pressing need for effective nonsurgical management strategies, including physical therapy (PT) and spinal bracing.
