Hi everyone - computer network has been very tempremental lately!!
Marls100 - hi there! Before I give you exercises for sway back posture can I just check the following:- Posture features are - head/chin held forward, upper back (cervical spine) slightly flexed, mid back sis rounded, lower back is flat, pelvis sways forward in relation to the feet, flexible in the hip area, strong, but short obliques (ab muscles at your sides)upper part of your abs are tight ad lower area near the pelvis is waek, knee joints are hyper-extended and tight ish hamstring muscles (back of legs).
Don't worry if you don't know if this is all you. The other postural type you could be is flat-back! The main difference is that with sway back the pelvis is tilted forward and with flat back it's tilted back.
Runners - although running is great it comes with a high-risk injury factor. It's good to do other forms of exercises which do not create such impact on your joints e.g. cycling, cross-trainer, swimming, weights, yoga, pilates etc.
Ormirian - hope the resting has helped your ankle? Your knee might just be referred pain as you are prbably over-compensating with other areas of your body due to your ankle injury. Can you do some pilates or weight (back/abs and upper body)work at all? Weight training increases the size of your muscle fibre which in turn increases your metabolic rate...
