Hollow back, I think I have one?

If your dad and your sister both have it, it is most likely genetic. The medical name for it is lordosis. It is also called sway back and saddle back.

Here are some important tips.

1. Be conscious of your posture every day. Check your low back by standing next to the wall with your back touching the wall. Slide your hand between the wall and your lower back.If you have a significant space between the wall and your low back, then you have a sway back situation.

2. Do a daily exercise while you are lying on a firm bed or on the floor. Lie down, face up, with your hips and knees bent, you feet are down on your firm bed or floor. Tilt your pelvis upwards so that your low back is flat on the firm bed or the floor. Hold it for 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds and repeat the procedure 25 times. Then tilt your pelvis again upwards, hold it, and try to reach the top of your knees with the tips of your hands, trying to get your upper back and head upwards, away from the bed. Hold it for 5 seconds, relax for 5 seconds and repeat 25 times. Do these exercises two times a day before you sleep at night and before you get out of bed in the morning.

3. When you are standing up or walking or trying to bend forward like brushing your teeth, be sure that you tilt your pelvis forward and keep that abdominal muscles working. This will prevent you from straining your low back.

4. Learn and practice the proper way of Lifting heavy weights from the floor. Be sure to keep your low back straight, tilt your pelvis forward tightening your abdominal muscles, bend your knees (not your low back) before you lift the heavy stuff from the floor.

5. Learn and practice the proper way of pulling of pushing heavy stuff. Always start with tilting your pelvis forward, tighten your abdominal muscles keep your low back straight before you pull or push heavy stuff.

6. General body conditioning, physical fitness exercise, proper nutrition, prevention and correction of overweight problem are good precautionary measures in helping you prevent sway back and low back pain in general.

The Earth is not hollow. Certain types of waves produced by earthquakes travel differently through various material and by looking at the way the waves travel and how they are recorded by various seismographs around the world, the earth's interior can be determined. The mantle (the layer just below the crust that we live on) is the thickest layer and made up of molten rock, which is where the magma/lava originates. The core of the earth is made up of two layers, a liquid outer core and a solid inner core (which is also responsible for the electromagnetic field around the earth). Although I commend you on looking "outside of the box" and considering alternative theories, there are many holes within the theory that have led to it being considered inaccurate. Also, if you going to ask a question within the scientific realm, I'd recommend not insulting everyone by making a prejudice comment to all. There are plenty of geologist and other scientist who believe in God. It would be as inaccurate as saying all religious people denounce all science.

I think I have a hollow back, is this bad posture or just something genetic? My dad has it, my sister has it and so do I. Is there a way to fix it?
