Spondylolysis

Wow, forgot this was even a thing but I had this as a teenager from a gymnastics injury that went undetected and untreated until it healed wrong. I never did anything for it and am now a 42 year old woman with a sway back and poor core muscles (not sure this is related but feels relevant). I'd force...or highly encourage.... my kid into treatment.

Yeah- seems core strengthening is the best thing you can do for it. It is not too late for you to do core exercises! My 60yr old brother and 87 yr old dad still do core exercises and they tell me if they stop doing them for a while- it really impacts their lower back. Both played football. My dad walks with a walker and has Parkinson's. They are not strenuous exercises. Like many things, you just need to set aside the time..
