Methodology:
The study design is semi-experimental and applicable by its aim and method was pretest-posttest with a control group. 40 students with hyper kyphosis of Yasouj city (20 students in the experimental group with an average age of 16/55 ± 1/19 year and 20 students in the control group with an average age of 16/65± 1/09 years) were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the treatment (corrective and Thai massage exercises for 60 minutes, three times a week) for 12 weeks, but thecontrol group received no treatment and was engaged in daily routine activities. Kyphosis angle was measured by the flexible ruler. The data were analyzed through Analysis of   T Independent and dependent at the significance level of P ≤ 0/05.
Results:
Independent t-test results showed that the angle of kyphosis of experimental group had significant improvement after 12 weeks of combined training (P < 0/001).
 Conclusion:
