Lumbar Lordosis exercises are an essential part of your correction program. They work together with stretches to help loosen the muscles of your hip and correct spine posture. The specific exercises you do are important but performing them correctly is essential.

Purpose of lumbar Lordosis exercises

Many people use exercises to strengthen muscles and some therapists think this is the case for Lordosis. I have worked with many strong people with posture problem and they don’t need to get stronger. They need to loosen muscles with stretching and the use exercises to reposition their spine and pelvis with exercises.

Your focus during the exercises is to reposition your spine and you need to make this as easy as possible. There is one fundamental technique you’ll learn from the tutorial above that you use during all exercises. It’s the first thing to master and then add exercises on top. The exercises you use need to be easy to start with and gradually get more difficult.

Four Stages

The tutorial is designed with 4-stages and each lumbar Lordosis exercise gets more difficult. The four stages are;

1. Lying on your back

Through all of these stages, your goal is to maintain the position of your spine and pelvis. Don’t worry if the exercises aren’t fatiguing the muscle.
