Anything to Make Lordosos Better? Surgery? Workouts? Posted: 11-05-07 09:10am
I have lordosis and have always had from
what im finding out on the internet. It
makes my gut look bigger than it really is
because of it sticking out and what so I
want to ask what makes this better. What
do I have to do apart from lower ab
workouts which I already incorporate into
my workouts. Is there surgery to fix this
problem?? What can be done??
please any suggestions ill take them.

Sacroiliac manipulation. Many times when
sij subluxation ie ilium upslip causes
extended lordosis. Quite often, after
iliums have been pushed back to their
places, lordosis gets corrected.
Of course there are a lot of different sij
manipulation techniques and most of them
are quite useless...
And Pilates is one thing to improve the
balance in your pelvis. No use to
excercise your lower abs if you do it
wrong...

It is not If you find a good expert. But
they are hard to find.

Few examples:
Symptoms of an
Upslip by Tom LeBlanc, PT
Do you feel as if you are walking on
uneven ground, even though you know the
floor is level? Does it hurt to sit too long?
Do you sometimes misjudge distance, while
walking through an open door, and bang
your shoulder into the door jamb? Do you
feel off balance and frequently have to
catch yourself to keep from falling? Have
you noticed yourself “running out of
steam” much earlier in the day since
having an accident or a fall? If you
answered yes to any of these questions,
you may be suffering from an upslip.
What is an Upslip?
An upslip,
or superior ilium, is a condition where
one ilium (pelvis bone) is slightly higher
than the ilium on the opposite side.
Health &
Posture by Brent Stevenson,
Physiotherapist (aka Physical Therapist)
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
"Symmetry in your pelvis is very important
to prevent pain problems and allow all
your muscles to work as effeciently as
possible. Your pelvis has many muscles
that attach to it and it takes a lot of
punishment from our work, sports and
accidents. Subtle asymmetries can create
lasting painful problems. Common
assymetries are an upslip and/or a
torsion. This is where one half of the
pelvis shifts up or rotates forward or
backward relative to the other
side. It can happen in varying
degrees, from a subtle muscle imbalance to
a severe accident ramming one bone out of
place."
You may have success in improving your
lordosis by doing a major core
strengthening program. pilates would be
really good for this. If you strengthen
the muscles on the front of the spine and
stretch the muscles on the back side, you
will have a pulling in effect on your
abdominal side, thus decreasing the
lordisis. Also, when you are standing
whenever you can remember to do so,
concentrate on your posture. Imagine
rolling your pubic bone forward by about 3
inches. Keep your abs tight and your back
as flat as possible.
