What is Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS) and What Are the Symptoms?

[@megandicken1088]

Great video! I love your emphasis on the hips being the powerhouse and the functional exercise of the squat by the wall while keeping your hand in front of the face to stop leading with the head. That is so much more helpful than just telling people to do bridges for their glutes. I am an ATC but haven't practiced in a several years. I found your video bc i think ive had lower cross for ages. I only have a little LBP/ tightness, but really I have poor posture, my upper back always feels fatigued, and i find if i stand up straight and do a posterior pelvic tilt it relieves the fatigue. But its hard to maintain that good posture because abs and glutes are weak. I will be adding this to my exercise routine. Thank you!

I think my set back is starting to display these symptoms. My PT has been working on loosening my lowerback/ right hip by applying alot of pressure and stretching the hamstring, and IT band. my hip flexors had gotten a little tight since the flare up a week ago. is there anything i should maybe mention? Prior to the flare up, i felt well enough to go to the gym and finally went bowling without pain.

I would have them work on the Psoas Major with their hands and dig the hip flexors out on both sides. Roll the glutes, work on hip mobility by loosening up external rotation. Your Hip Flexors are something that needs to be managed consistently, every flare up will cause them to tighten up.
