Hello /fit/,MRI guy says i have loss of lumbar lordosis.Do you have some excercises, advices?Some usefull links?I guess more glute and hamstring activation, and pelvic bridges?
Loss of lumbar lordosis ("flat back") means your lower spine has lost its natural curve. The advice in the image is actually incorrect: strengthening glutes and hamstrings usually worsens the issue by pulling the pelvis into a posterior tilt, further flattening the back.The StrategyTo restore the curve, you must stretch the muscles pulling the pelvis down and strengthen the muscles that arch the spine.1. Stretch (Overactive Muscles) Hamstrings: Tight hamstrings are the primary culprit for pulling the tailbone under. Glutes: Deep stretches like the Pigeon Pose help release the posterior pull. Abdominals: Use Cobra Stretches (lying face down, pushing up) to allow the spine to extension.2. Strengthen (Underactive Muscles) Hip Flexors: Perform Hanging Leg Raises or High Knees to encourage an anterior pelvic tilt. Lower Back Extensors: Bird-Dogs or Supermans build the muscles that physically hold the arch. Pelvic Tilts: Practice arching your back away from the floor while lying down to find the "neutral" curve.Critical Notes Avoid: Heavy squats or deadlifts if your form "winks" (rounds) at the bottom; this puts massive pressure on discs when the back is flat. The "Why": If this was found on an MRI, it could be a protective muscle spasm. A physical therapist is necessary to distinguish between a structural bone issue and a simple muscle imbalance.Are you experiencing any radiating pain down the legs, or is this mostly a postural correction?
>>77181531OP here,Thank you for the info!No, I didn't have any radiating pain down the legs,what I do have is "slicing" on the lower back on some movementsI've never had problems with back, but last year i did front squats and felt some sprain on the right side of the back where thoracic and lumbar spine connect And i guess after that the "slicing" started
