What is Lumbar Lordosis?
Lumbar Lordosis is a condition where there is an increased inner curvature of the lumbar spine. Normally a human spine displays some amount of lordosis, but if it increases then it poses a problem for the individual. Lordosis is also known as "swayback."
Anterior pelvic tilt is the major factor of lumbar lordosis. Due to increased curve of the lumbar spine, lower back puts more pressure on the entire back and this lead to poor movement of the back and lower back pain. It is necessary to keep the curve of the spine in their proper position.
The common factors for lumbar lordosis are tight hip flexors, weak core muscles, weak gluteal muscles, poor form during exercise, etc. The normal curve of the lumbar spine should be approx 30 to 35 degrees while standing.
