Can targeted exercises correct lower cross syndrome?
NCT ID NCT06303388
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two exercise programs—Bruegger's exercises and Egoscue exercises—each added to standard physiotherapy, for people with lower cross syndrome. Lower cross syndrome involves muscle imbalances that cause low back pain and excessive forward pelvic tilt. The study will measure changes in pain, spinal curvature, and pelvic tilt to see which approach offers better relief.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bruegger's exercise or Egoscue exercise, each combined with conventional physiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If one approach proves superior, it could point toward a more effective exercise routine for managing lower cross syndrome pain and posture.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply widely. Exercise-based interventions rely heavily on adherence and individual variation.
