Lordosis is a natural curvature of the spine that occurs in the cervical and lumbar regions (neck and lower back). It is a curvature that bends inward and is present in a healthy spine. However, the term "lordosis" is often used to describe irregular increases in this natural curvature, which can lead to issues.

Increased lordosis can result from various causes

Muscle imbalance - Weak abdominal muscles or overly strong muscles in the lower back can lead to increased lordosis.

Injuries or trauma - Injuries to the spinal column or the surrounding muscles can affect the normal curvature.

Diseases - Certain diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, can influence the shape of the spinal column.

Congenital abnormalities - Irregularities present from birth can also affect lordosis.

The treatment of lordosis depends on the cause and severity of the problem. Here are some general recommendations

Physical therapy - Exercises that strengthen abdominal muscles, back muscles, and pelvic muscles can help improve body posture and reduce increased lordosis.

Various therapeutic exercises - Our physiotherapists may recommend specific exercises targeting muscle strengthening and flexibility improvement to correct imbalances.

Wearing orthoses - In some cases, wearing a special orthosis can help maintain the correct spine position.

Surgical interventions - In extreme cases.

It is important to emphasize that the proper approach to treating lordosis requires an individualized approach, taking into account the cause, symptoms, and overall health of the individual. Individuals with lordosis issues should seek advice from our experts, physiotherapists, to receive a proper and customized exercise plan that suits their condition.

Exercises for lordosis are typically focused on strengthening abdominal muscles, back muscles, and pelvic muscles to improve muscle balance and support the maintenance of the correct spinal column position. Regularly performing exercises with a gradual increase in intensity can contribute to improving lordosis and overall spinal health.
