Kyphosis is a condition where the spine curves forward, causing a hunchback or rounded posture. If someone is described as "more kyphotic," it means that their spine is curving forward to a greater degree than normal. Synonyms for "more kyphotic" might include "more stooped," "more hunchbacked," "more rounded in the shoulders," or "more slouched." These terms all convey a similar physical description of someone whose upper back is excessively curved forward. More severe cases of kyphosis may require medical intervention, such as physical therapy or surgery, to improve posture and prevent further curvature.
