I think my back is arched too much. Should I be worried?


Question:
My back is really arched, or maybe i'm imaginating it, but whenever i lay on a hard flat surface (the floor), my back is never completely touching the floor, as in it's hardly ever completely flat...and sometimes when i lay on my stomach, my back hurts. Also, sometimes, when my backpack is empty, there's a noticable gap between my back and my backpack. Is this normal? Should I be worried if it's not?

Answers:
If you have ever had a gym class, or a doctor's visit, it's likely you were tested for scoliosis. If no one has told you anything, then you have nothing to worry about. Most girls are sway-backed to some degree, especially if they have a bigger, firmer, or more round backside.

To alleviate pain of your back, make sure you carry your backpack high on your shoulders, and not low-slung. Keep the straps tightened, because it is healthier for you. Also, look into purchasing a memory foam pillow that is a sort of "u" shape, because they help to align the spine properly while you are laying down.
It might be nothing, but check with your doctor
you might have a huntch back
if you dont practice sittin up stiaght
then it will forever be like that
