You can tell that you might have a sway back if your back is over-arched and your pelvis is in a rocked forward position. Having your body in sway back position lengthens the hamstrings and makes them feel tight. Individuals with sway back posture often put more weight on their toes than heels when they walk. In addition to abdominal weakness, a lack of strength in the gluteals and hamstrings can cause your pelvis to be rotated forward, also known as anterior pelvic tilt. Often caused by sitting without the proper exercise and stretching needed to counteract the effects, this forward pelvic tilt forces your spine to curve. You may notice that the muscles in the front of your pelvis (abdominals) and thighs are tight, while the ones in the back (gluteals) are weak. While the abdominals stabilize the pelvis by pulling upward on the front, the gluteals and hamstrings offer stability by pulling down on the rear of the pelvis. Running is a great way to strengthen the gluteals. Likewise, the abdominal muscles can be conditioned through physical therapy and easy weight training exercises.

On a daily basis, walking and running occur more than many other physical activities. Your physical ability can be impacted by your level and method of motion. Sometimes, the way you move might be the reason you have pain, and physical therapy can help you change it. Running is as natural as breathing. The motion involves many body parts interacting together such as your six weight bearing joints (ankles, knees, and hips). If these joints are not in good alignment, you might be at risk for structural pain. One minor running error repeated many times can do an incredible amount of damage to your back, muscles, nerves and joints. This could eventually cause pain and arthritis. Often, the cause of back pain is poor strength -- specifically, weak abdominal muscles. The pelvis is held in place by numerous muscles, including the abdominals, hamstrings, gluteals and hip flexors. An imbalance or weakness in these muscles can lead to pelvic misalignment, causing the pelvis to tilt forward or backward. Forward tilt of the pelvis leads to a sway back.
