Sway back is an anterior pelvic tilt, a.k.a. lordosis. If your client’s pant waistline is lower in the front then the back, they may have an anterior pelvic tilt. It can be the cause of a symptom or the symptom itself.

I am making reference to Kendall as I disagree with the two previous comments:

“The scientific definition of swayback refers to a posture in which the hips are swayed forward and the rib cage is swayed backward in the sagittal plane (Kendall 2005).”

It is tricky to see and can easily be confused with lordosis. Here is a very good reference with more information on this subjct www.bt.com.bn/features/2011/01/23/swayback-and-how-improve-your-posture

Hi. Sway back is also known as lordosis. Here is a link from Cedar Sinai on the condition: http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Health-Conditions/Swayback-Lordosis…

I hope that this helps.
