reverse cervical lordosis

I have a client who has been diagnosed with reverse cervical lordosis. I am currently staying away from any moves like rollover. Does anyone have any other moves that I should be staying away from or any moves that would be good for this condition?
Joanna ~ This can be referred to as kyphosis or beginning of kyphosis, and one would work with the individual's postural strengths and weakness to help their client. I recommend asking your training program for specific exercises to do/to avoid since each program is different and some of the exercises might not be the same or have the same name.
See this so much nowadays.. esp in the young people I am sad to say..texting and computers in young people and the bad posture that results seems to be an epidemic!! I would suggest depending on the severity of it to prop them esp when laying flat.. a lot of propping does help. It at the very least gets them in proper alignment for exercise. Also I would say strengthen those upper back muscles and stretch the front of the chest.. Lying across the big ball with arms stretched wide helps But only if they are comfortable with that . you may have to prop the head if you recline them and they are uneasy.. If they are lying prone you will have to prop again.
Its all dependent on your client.. just lie them down and look at them, then prop accordingly. I hope that helps somewhat. Just another teacher here with an opinion!

Gia and Jamie thank you for your input. My client is also working with a chiropractor to try to stop the reverse curvature and he has suggested some good exercises for her to do.
