Combining thoracic kyphosis with lumbar lordosis means the upper back is rounded forward while the lower back maintains its inward curve. This specific pattern is called kyphotic-lordotic posture. It’s the term that explicitly describes both a kyphotic thoracic region and a lordotic lumbar region, unlike the others which describe different patterns (flat back with flattened curves, sway back with pelvic shift and reduced lumbar lordosis, or forward head which is a cervical alignment issue).
