Can Sloping Shoulders Be Corrected?

Can rounded shoulders be corrected?

The good news is that, in most cases, rounded shoulders can be easily fixed or prevented. Just as the muscles and joints have been trained to hunch forward, they can be retrained to find the correct resting position.

How can I make my shoulders straight?
