Causes of Lordosis: The main cause is habit formation during growing period. This is generally the result of overeating and lack of exercise. In adults, it is mainly due to loose abdominal wall. In some cases hips are thrust forward, the curve increases in order to throw the upper trunk back into balance. The muscles of the lower back are shortened and abdominal muscles are elongated.
Preventive and remedial measures of lordosis:
(a) It is necessary to develop the strength of abdontinal muscles.
(b) Exercise should be undertaken to control the position of pelvis.
(c) Regular exercise is recommended.
(d) Lying on your back and lifting feet vertically overhead.
(e) Perform Halasana.
(f) Perform Paschimuttan asana.
(g) Sitting on a chair/table bring the head/nose close to the knees.
(h) Do sit-ups slowly.
