unhunch

Release shoulder tension

To unhunch is to straighten from a hunched position—releasing the rounded shoulders and curved spine that come from slouching over a desk or phone: She unhunched her shoulders and sat up straight.

The word often appears in self-directed corrections of posture: I read this and immediately unhunched.
