I’m thinking these apply to lumbar kyphosis. What about cervical kyphosis (military neck)? I’ve never been sold on wearing a brace for many of the reasons mentioned above. I’ve done stretches where i keep my head neutral and stretch upward and they seem to help my compressed Nerve on the R-side of my C5-6. I’m worried about doing some of the exercises the wrong way. Anything that involves my neck i try to avoid but i don’t want to over do it either. I don’t have a compression fracture yet and i don’t want to get one. I’m worried that over time it will start effecting the rest of my spine. I may need fusion surgery in the future and i’m trying to avoid that esp with being osteopenic. I fear once fused that you eventually need another fusion down the road. I really would like to avoid that route. Any suggestions to protect my neck etc while exercising?

A brace can be beneficial in the short term for a individual, but like you touched on over reliance on brace can have negative side effects. Many physicians I speak with do recommend braces but tell there patients to only wear it for 1-2 hours a day max.

Whether you are throughout a game, or just in coaching job,
it’s extraordinarily necessary for you to protect your knees, notably once they
hurt.
