Causes of Kyphosis: Primary causes such as defective vision or hearing often result in holding the head futher forward. Defective vision or incorrect spectacles lead to the development of leaning forward specially while writing or reading books. Hard hearing people often develop the habit of craning forward to assist their hearing. Tight and rough collars of a dress may result in holding the head wrongly. All such habits produce a strain on the extensior or pulling back muscles of the neck and spine and make them weak. 

Remedial Measures to Knock Knees: 

1. Lying in a lateral position and circling the free arm. 

2. Arms stretching backward and bringing the chest forward. 

3. Head backward bending. 

4. Head extension in prone lying position. 

5. Holding the ankles with hands in prone lying position and making a back arch (Dhanurasan). 

6. In prone lying position with hands behind the neck. Partner pulling the arms upward
