structural slackening


Explanation:
a slackening of the lumbar structure. You can also use pattern break or structure break or something similar, but I believe structural slackening is quite accurate. A break or slackening in the normal structural pattern of the spine.

disagree  Kim Metzger: linguee.com is a poor source and doesn't justify a CL5. How is "slackening" so much superior to "loosening" or "relaxation"? It's just a synonym.
