Lordosis

    Pelvis is positioned forward and downward. Hips are slightly flexed and lumbar spine is excessively hyperextended. Hip flexors, erector spinae are short. Abdominal, hamstrings, gluteus maximus muscles may be weak. Increased risk of lower back injury during standing or lying hip extension, flexion, or stabilization activities, and weighted overhead activities. See abdominal weakness and hip flexor inflexibility.

    Examples of affected exercises:
        Squat
        Hack Squat
        Military Press (standing)
        Roman Chair Sit-up
    Example preventative / corrective exercises:
        Hip Flexor: Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch
        Erector Spinae: Lower Back Stretch
        Abdominal: Crunches
        Hamstrings: Leg Curl
        Gluteus: Seated Leg Press
