Common Postural Defects
Lower crossed syndrome
There is no doubt that the menopause has a raft of undesirable consequences and for many women weight gain is one. But what about the Menopause pot? Vladamir Janda described a postural presentation that he called the ‘lower crossed syndrome’. This involves a pattern of muscle weakness and tightness characterised by weak abdominals and weak gluteus maximus together with tight hip flexors and tight spinal erectors. This generally results in a forward tilted pelvis when we stand and can give the appearance of a ‘pot belly’. I had a lower crossed syndrome and pain in my lower back for many years. Now I know how to align pelvis and reduce a "pot belly". Online yoga
There are two poses for you to practice at home:
1. Create strong core and gluteus muscles. Practice 3 times a week, hold as long as you wish and by time you will improve.
2. Stretch your Hip flexors (psoas muscles) Release tension in your lower back and knees. Relax your mind and your body. Practice after plank pose. Hold 3 min. Make sure no pain in your lower back
3. Practice this breathing technique. You will increase the energy level and reduce anxiety.
