Exercises to correct lumbar hyperlordosis
Updated: Oct 29
Our spines naturally curve in at the lower part (lumbar spine) and out in the top part (thoracic spine). For some people, the curve in their lower backs might be increased and this can sometimes lead to lower back pain.
Remember, if you need help with an injury, you're welcome to consult one of our physios via video call.
In this video I explain what causes hyperlordosis in the lower back and I demonstrate some exercises that you can do to improve it.
You can also download the exercises as a PDF on this page, but I would advise that you watch the video first to see how I demonstrate them.
