I have had scoliosis and kyphosis for most of my life, and I've been exercising over a year and a half to fix it and I'm seeing the improvements every few months.

I exercise almost every day (with few exceptions when it's unavoidable) and every 3 months I get 2 new sets from my trainer. These sets are tailor made by a posture specialist (chiropractor I think) and based on routine checkups I do every 3 months. It's fairly cheap (for international standards at least).

The exercises themselves are fairly easy to do (no equipment needed besides everyday things you have at your home - chair, box, pillows, etc.), but are really effective and intensive since those are corrective exercises. Depending on the set, I usually exercise 30-60 minutes a day.

I also want to encourage anyone who has an issue with their posture to seek advice from a medical professional and invest at least 30 minutes a day to improve their posture. Your body will be grateful, trust me!
