What is a warped waist?
When you stand upright, your pelvis tilts forward, and to cover it, your hips also stick out, with the area just above your hips curving back. The cause is lack of muscle strength. Among the inner muscles, if the biceps femoris that connects the thighs and pelvis is weak, the pelvis cannot firmly support the weight of the upper body, resulting in distortion and back pain.

反り腰とは?
直立したときに骨盤が前に傾き、それをカバーするために、すぐ上の腰のあたりが後に反り返ってしまう状態でお尻も突き出ます。原因は筋力不足です。インナーマッスルのなかでも特に太ももと骨盤をつなぐ大腿二頭筋の弱いと上半身の重みを骨盤がしっかりと支る事ができずに歪みや腰痛になります。
