Have you ever noticed two small indentations on the lower part of your back, just above your hips? These dimples, often referred to as “Venus dimples” in women and “Apollo dimples” in men, are a natural anatomical feature.

They occur due to a visible attachment of the skin to the iliac bone, giving the appearance of small, symmetrical indentations.

While many associate them with fitness or genetics, they are primarily influenced by bone structure rather than body fat or muscle composition.

One of the most common beliefs about these back dimples is that they indicate good circulation and a strong lower back, contributing to better physical performance.

Some even claim that people with these dimples naturally have a higher level of flexibility, making certain physical activities easier.

However, these claims are mostly anecdotal, with no strong scientific backing.

What is certain is that they are often considered an attractive feature, symbolizing symmetry and proportionality in the body.
