I'm no doctor, but I believe overcompensating can bring your skeletal alignment back to (near) normal functioning. Of course, if you're alignment is normal, you don't need to compensate at all.
When I went to a physiotherapist about my neck, he got me to do neck exercises that stretched my muscles in an unnatural position, using the logic I explained above. Of course, you also need to correct the underlying issue. Exercises will only help so much.
