    Re: Sway back - am i right in thinking....

    For a sway back I would work with pelvic tilts, posture control and focus a lot on tranversus abdominis. Even if the shape of your vertebrae has changed, you do need to gain good control of the area so it doesn't get worse as you age.
    Hope this helps

    Re: Sway back - am i right in thinking....

    Thanks for the replies. sorry been a while been busy with me child.

    Ive had back pain for the last 7 years or so.

    For about the last 6 months or so ive suffered alot from a stiff back after bending over for long periods of time like when i go out on my bike. But mainly in the night when i get up for the loo, it takes me ages to stand up straight.

    Painwise i currently suffer from a sharp pain in my upper right buttock. I take my anti-inflammortories to deal with this.

    Both my pain and stiffness are every day. I definately think pelvic tilts are the way to go and i think i mentioned these on another thread and also core strenthning. This other thread details more of the history of my pain.

    but as someone said on the other thread my best is to go see a osteopath as i might be waiting for ever for the nhs physio..

    Having done some research whats your opinion to lower cross syndrome in relation to my symptoms.??

    thanks for any info
