    Re: sway back

    Don't know if you are looking for exercises for this condition but here are a couple. Contracting the transversus abdominis muscle would be very beneficial because it will produce more of a pelvic tilt and decrease the angle of lordosis. Also, a yoga pose called "child's pose" would be a nice position for them to be in.

    Smile Re: sway back

    hi
    i dont agree that isolated transverse abdominis strengthening will help in swayback posture.
    here i fell there is a need for comprehensive examination of the spine as well as lower limbs,especialy pelvic hip muscle length and strength.
    understand the primary course
    design the treatment according to that
    i dont feel that there is any readymade remedy in postural problems.since the causes vary individually,the treament also needs to be individualised.

    eager to see others openions
