Hey thanks for commenting!
This is actually a bit deceptive. It looks as if the arch is caused by the weakened back, but it is actually caused by your illio-psoas muscle tilting your hips forward.
As the hips are tilted forward, it shortens the length of your Erector Spinae causing it to become tight and over active. Strengthening your glute muscles will help you control the position of your hips and take some of the load off your lower back. The Hip Bridge exercise shown will help, but you have to make sure you are able to squeeze your butt muscles (fully activate your glutes).
If you have any other questions feel free to ask away :) All the best.
I think when you have such posture defect you will naturally use other muscles when moving or staying thats why it is important to strengthen(and 'repair') the lower back. Am i wrong?
You are 100% right! We definitely want to repair the lower back. Strengthening the lower back, however, will only be beneficial after the pelvic tilt has been corrected (stretching hip flexors, strengthening core and glutes). Otherwise it can accentuate the problem
The human body is tricky. Where you might feel pain isn't exactly what's causing the problem.
Yes! It is also important to make people aware that even if they do not feel any pain now in a few years, they will not even know what caused them to barely move. Thanks for answers!
@whd you are so right here! Make sure you pass the information on to others so they don't end up in this situation :)
All the best mate!
