AnswerHi Sam and thanks for writing,
I'm sure you've had your fair share of Healthcare professionals with CF, but I'd highly recommend seeing a Physio Therapist who can help you design a regime to stretch and strengthen your back muscles to correct the curvature. It's important to be pro-active and take action every day as you obviously cough every day.
You might also want to talk to a personal trainer about stretching and strengthening exercises, but I would imagine a PT would be more familiar with setting a safe regime for a person with CF.
Wishing you all my best,
Margot
