Abstract in brief

The review found that structured exercise programs lasting up to three months are effective in reducing thoracic hyperkyphosis in both younger and older adults, while bracing is effective mainly in older individuals with low to moderate confidence.
Evidence suggests that multimodal care, taping, biofeedback, and muscle stimulation are generally ineffective for reducing this spinal curvature.
Overall, the strongest evidence supports using structured exercise programs for managing thoracic hyperkyphosis, with additional benefits from bracing in older adults.
