Hyperlordosis
About the program:
This program is aimed at patients diagnosed with lumbar hyperlordosis.
You may begin this program after consulting your physician or a member of our team.
The goal of the program is to strengthen the paravertebral muscles and relieve pain and stiffness in the lower back.
For a full and timely recovery, it is necessary to perform the exercises daily.
What the program contains:
- The program contains video playlists.
- A new playlist is loaded every day.
- The videos combine a detailed description of the exercise with a visual demonstration of how to correctly perform it.

The term lordosis is used to describe two normal forward curves in the spine – cervical lordosis and lumbar lordosis. There are two normal backward curves as well – thoracic kyphosis and sacral kyphosis.
The standard angle of lumbar lordosis varies between 20° and 45°. Lumbar lordosis with an angle greater than 45 degrees is considered hyperlordosis, i.e. the curve is greater than it should be.
More often than not, hyperlordosis is a result of pelvic tilt and a compensatory increase of thoracic kyphosis. This is known as lower crossed syndrome (LCS). It is characterized by an imbalance between many muscle groups caused by our modern sedentary lifestyle.
Hyperlordosis can also be a consequence of other conditions like being overweight, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, pathological thoracic kyphosis, achondroplasia, etc.
Muscle imbalance, as well as a change in the position of the vertebrae in relation to each other, result in compromised joint and ligament systems. This can in turn lead to a change in the biomechanics of the spine and thus to potentially dystrophic or degenerative changes.
Diagnosing hyperlordosis requires not only radiographic and functional examinations, but also getting to know the patient’s habits and way of life.
