Physical therapy for ankylosing spondylitis includes instructions and exercises to maintain proper posture. This includes deep breathing for lung expansion and stretching exercises to improve spine and joint mobility. Since ankylosis of the spine tends to cause forward curvature (kyphosis), patients are instructed to maintain erect posture as much as possible and to perform back-extension exercises. Patients are also advised to sleep on a firm mattress and avoid the use of a pillow in order to p...more

This exercise will strengthen the extension muscles in the upper back.
How to do it: lie face down with your head lifted off the floor. Your lower back needs to be slightly hyper-extended. Stretch your arms straight out in a y position with your thumbs pointing up. Pull your arms back in an arc until your hands are in a ‘handcuff’ position. Slowly reverse your arms until you’re at the start. Repeat 2 or 3 times.

My right shoulder feels like its a bit forward since march. I spent the location on my computer, having a bad posture throughout, also in march I think I did the pull up wrong (my guess is what is what caused my right shoulder to be a bit forward) the muscles on the right of my neck too feel like they are a bit stretched. I do not have any pain anywhere tho. The motion of my right shoulder is not as great as what it used to be and not as good as compared to my left. I personally even see a difference like one of the muscles in my right shoulder may be in a bit weird position (can share a video of it). I wanted to join a gym but I don't think I can, until this issue is fixed. Now this forward shoulder has become very annoying and feels like it needs to be fixed.
