Brief Summary
Adolescent kyphotic girls will participate in this study. They will be divided into two groups. Group A: The control group will receive a therapeutic exercise program. Group B: The study group will receive the same intervention as Group A in addition to diaphragmatic myofascial release. They will be assessed at baseline and after three successive months of interventions for the following outcomes: Cobb angle by x-ray and pulmonary functions (vital capacity, forced vital capacity and maximum ventilatory volume) by computerized spirometer
