Hello, My son is 4.8 years old and most of the times he is sitting in bending position. I feel that after sometime, when he will grow, on his back hump will be come out. Most of the time I am giving him instruction to sit straight but I am not with him always. Please suggest what should I do? Can I go through physiotherapy? Does he have any problem in his bone? He never ever went through any surgery, any fracture or any deformation of bone. Growth is OK. Body weight is 20 kg.

Yes, you yourself can help him to maintain proper sitting posture, if not start physiotherapy along with that you need to check his vitamin d3 and calcium level checked. Based on which you may have to start with few suppliments and apart from which he may have to start with few strengthening exercises and swimming would help.
