'Leggy' viburnums?

I recently stumbled across the word "leggy" and think that is what my current situation with arrowwood viburnum is. I have four very large shrubs next to a fence in my yard. They are under a red cedar (very sparse) and two other tall, spindly trees.

When I look at photos of other arrowwood shrubs online, mine look nothing like them! Mine are probably a good 8-10' in the air, but they are only an 1" or so in diameter. The shoots go up about 6' before drooping over and touching the ground.

I have read this could be due to low sunlight. Without losing my trees...are there any solutions to help them grow up straight and tall?
