To understand how a swayback looks like, try to google a picture of a horse. You will notice that the back of the horse near the pelvis or the lumbar area was like in a slight inward curve. In fact, that curve is also normal in humans because our spine is normally curved a little at the lumbar area of our back. This natural curve allows us to move freely and twist from left and right. Aside from the lower back, the thoracic area and the neck also has slight normal curve of the spine.
In the case of a swayback posture problem or hyperlordosis, the curve in the lumbar part is exaggerated or overly-swayed. To detect if you have this, all you need to do is to stand with your back against the wall and try putting your hands at your lower back area above your buttocks. Once you felt that there is so much room for your hands to occupy, you have a swayback posture problem.
