A two year olds round back My son is now 2 years old and since he was born his thoracic spine has been curved backwards. As I, at the age of 31, have a round back and subsequent complaints, I would like to spare my son these problems. As a baby he spent a long time on his stomach and had a crawling phase of 5 months which however does not seem to have been of any use. What else can be done? We have heard of the Voita method of physical therapy- Would this be of help? Thank you very much.
