    Hi guys, I've got pretty bad Lordosis and wondering is it OK to workout my upper body while attending a physio and doing whatever exercises prescribed to me to strengthen the core and hip flexors and what not. Haven't gone to a physio yet (I did last year but she was useless and expensive, only getting back into exercise now), am currently on holidays and staying right beside a gym so dying to get in and do something. Also I want to get out and so some cardio, am I risking injury or is that alright?

    You should wait until you get the clear by a physio who's examined you. No point injuring yourself (especially while on holidays).

    What area are you from? Someone on the forum might be able to recommend you a better physio since you said the one you attended was useless.
