My Back Does Not Curve! My Spine Is Completely Straight! Posted: 08-09-05 17:25pm
I am incapable of creating a c-curve with
my back. As a dancer, it is absolutely
essential that I have full spinal
mobility. I am only 18, so I should have
a healthy spine. As a child, I had
severely swaybacked posture. Over about
2 years I managed to correct this to a
neutral spinal position.
I have been attempting to increase
mobility in my back. It has shown minor
improvements over the *years*, but if I
exert too much effort I hurt my back.
The immobility occurs from the middle of
shoulders blades all the way down to the
area on my back just above my hip bones.
Currently, I am having lower back pain on
both sides of my spine, right in line with
the backside hip bones and around my tail
bone.
Now, I have pain in these lower back areas
when I sit in a pike position on the floor
and lower my chin to my chest.
