Lordosis explained by postural correction specialist ...

[jamesandsab]

Hi,

I have a forward neck but the rest of me looks normal aside from that.

Never knew until I started competitive dancing and kept getting, "hold your head up", "drop your shoulders" and it is hard as I find I end up shortening my neck and make it look worse.

My shoulders look thickish when viewed from the side and there is a little bump down the back of the lower neck.

Any advice?

So what you are saying is that, if for example, i carry the right shoulder higher than the left and the muscles in my right upper leg are tight, that this is all mainly caused from having lordosis? Ie if I can correct the angle that my pelvis sits at then this will correct the other problems? I swim around 4000 metres a week so I thought when I started my swimming a year ago that I would not still have this problem. This video has brought together lots of things I have been reading about.

Hi, I am not a surgeon or consultant so will not be able to advise in a medical capacity. Lordosis and Kyphosis can be aquired from birth so depending on how severe the lordosis is (structurally) it depends on what can be done for it.

I would be interested in viewing images of your back if possible?

Hope thsi helps. Jan

i get pain from sit ups . and i wanna go army

[PostureCorrection]

Hi, in my programs we do not perform any sit-ups as our core muscles are not sedigned 'shorten', they are designed to act as 'stabilisers' which means they are meant to lengthen ie; Planks etc.

Good luck with the army!

@PostureCorrection What is the difference between Scoliosis and Lordosis?

[1275167]

can it completely go away?

[nekromorf]

Sounds like "very intense peanut stretches" :D

[itzajdmting]

very helpful....finding it real difficult to beat my swayback/lordosis...got very tight quads and hamstrings...but not getting much results from the stretches i've been given:(

[leo5756]

@itzajdmting lie down on the floor with straight back and put your knees on chest one by one for at least 30 second,then put your both knees and after that stand back to the wall and move your feet further from knees and slightly get downwards and your feet should go forward,do every strech for at least 5 mins and should carry on for at least 2 weeks after that u will get desire results..and u can hang on the bar too with your feet touching your hips,,,hope this helps,,,good luck.....

[itzajdmting]

@leo5756 thanks for your help....my left knee pops out though if i bend it too much, i'll try the standing stretch you mention. again, thank you!

[Agus013013]

@itzajdmting Hey, it's been two years since your comment, and I was curious, did you beat your lordosis? please tell me. :)

[Vittoria10538]

Thank you SO much. It's got to the point where I can't do anything anymore without pain through the hips and lower back, which affects the periformis muscle on the right side as well. About to go check out your site.

Nice one. I have bad posture which is causing quite a lot of back pain lol. I need to sort this out as I am going to apply for the Parachute Regiment soon!
