My Father Is 84 And Is Experiencing Chronic Bending Forward,

My father is 84 and is experiencing chronic bending forward, and continually feels like he has a heavy weight on his upper body that forces him to bend forward constantly. He says he gets very exhausted after holding up his torso for any length of time. He experiences severe tightening of his waist muscles whenever he lifts his arms up toward his head, or carries even a small load in his hands at waist height or higher.
