Curving/rounding the shoulders is done to compensate for the body not working correctly. Doing so always made me feel more relaxed. I would go to pt to work on this, but I slept on my side after I feel asleep, always, until after my pec minor release, thus undoing any pt to correct this. Now I sleep with neck pillows and heating pads on my back to start and a side sleeping that doesn't curl my shoulders because that feels awkward now that I have had the pec minor release. I usually put a heating pad on my neck when side sleeping to better tolerate it.
Yep, 34 years I've had it so it affects my entire body.
