Rounded and hunched shoulders: This condition develops slowly over time, with a hyperextended neck, rounded shoulders that begin with an occasional dull ache as the tension slowly arches the lower back along the neck. The neck extends into the arms and back, causing a hunch. It is caused by sitting in awkward positions for long periods of time without stretching or counteracting it with regular exercise.
