About

Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.

Full description

In adult population, a major health problem is Low back pain. Postural change is one of the risk factor. Abnormal posture causes strain on ligaments and muscles, as a result indirectly affects the curvature of the lumbar spine.Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.
