In hyper-kyphosis, the mid trapezius and rhomboids can become weakened and inhibited due to the forward rounding of the shoulders and upper back. This postural misalignment often leads to an imbalance, where the muscles responsible for retracting the scapulae (shoulder blades) are overstretched and underactive, contributing to further postural issues. Strengthening these muscles is essential for improving posture and alleviating discomfort associated with hyper-kyphosis. Addressing this condition often involves targeted exercises and stretches to restore proper muscle function and alignment.
Primary: Posterior Deltoids Secondary: Rhomboids and Traps
Its antagonists are the trapezius and the two rhomboid muscles.

A number of muscles are involved in shrugging your shoulders, including the latissiumus dorsi, the deltoids, the rhomboids, the scapular muscles, the biceps, the triceps, among others. The primary muscle is the upper trapezius muscle. The secondary muscles are the middle trapezius muscles and the levator scapulae.
