correction exercise?

[bartholomew]

My name is Bart and I come from Poland. I have an English friend (29 years old) who stooped so much that his backbone is in the shape of the letter S.I wish I could help him, but the thing is that I do not know how. In my country it is possible to go to the GP and be referred to a special institution that offers correction exercises. Has any of you heard of a similar practice in the uk?

Any comments welcome.

i think so. if you recommend to your friend to go to his GP, they should be able to assess his situation and refer him to the relevant people.

this sounds like Scoliosis, my friend had this, curvature of the spine. She had rods put in, quite a heavy operation.  Best to go see a Chiropractor, or doctor first. Any correction and exercise could be bad.
