Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In lordosis, the pelvis is tilted forward increasing the curvature of the lumbar spine. This postural deviation is often caused by tight hip flexors which pull the pelvis down and forward. Lengthening the hip flexors can help to reduce the anterior tilt of the pelvis and decrease the curvature of the lumbar spine. The abdominals might also need strengthening to support the lumbar spine, but they are not necessarily tight in this postural deviation. Shoulder protractors and knee flexors would not necessarily be affected by lordosis.
