How Do You Prevent Lordosis?
Lordosis is an excessive amount of curvature in the lumbar spine. It is common and usually disappears when the patient bends forward. However, lordosis is more serious as a congenital spinal deformity where the failure of a vertebral segment to separate posteriorly in the presence of anterior growth causes the abnormality. The following steps will show how to prevent lordosis. Maintain good posture if your back is already weak. Bending forward as if to touch your toes can further weaken the back’s supporting structures and lead to further injuries. Stretch frequently at your desk. Place your arms over your head and press your upper back against your chair. Squeeze your buttocks (glutes) together hard to bring your hips forward and straighten your legs. This will result in your upper back being completely extended with the back of your legs against your chair. Do exercises to strengthen your glutes. Lie on the floor and practice squeezing your glutes as hard as you can to raise them off
