5 Exercises for Lumbar Spondylolisthesis

These exercises are excellent- help with sciatica that runs into bottom of my foot. I have been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis and had a disectomy 7 years ago which helped but some of the symptoms are back like tingling in leg/foot. These are some of the ONLY exercises that have helped! Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you sir

Any way to modify the last one? I can’t lift into bridge with only one leg. I can with both. Too painful and weak with one. Thanks

Do you ever recommend surgery? I have a neural spinal doctor wanting to put a little cage around for an and L5 and screws. It scares me to death because I don’t need hardware in my body when I tend to get infections.

I just bought your book on Amazon

I got the diagnosis for a slipped vertebrae (all the way at the bottom, 25%) yesterday, and 12 days worth of cortisol pills.
The doc said that exercise would be required, but as of now i got no workout plan (im a regular gym rat, got it from doing heavy rack pulls). In fact i was really strong on those lifts, i could do good mornings with 100+ kg no problem.

What puzzles me most is that the doctor did not mention any fracture, just a buildup of tissue behind the vertebrae as a result of a "lack of muscles" (strange since i lift a lot for the back).
Is the preceeding fracture a necessary component?

I will start the Excise immediately, I'm having lumber spondylosis, serious pain

I will start doing these regularly. The single leg bridge is really hard. I can only lift my back about an inch.

great exercise..thankyou

Great exercises clearly explained and demonstrated.

My knees hurt when I do some of these (I have spondylolisthesis). What can I do to protect my knees? Thanks for this :)

My wife has both spondylolisthesis and sacroiliitis. The pain radiates through her legs and is worse in the morning. We suspect she has AS which is now flaring after her last bout of COVID a month ago. Should we wait for the flare to end and try to control the inflammation and then try some light workouts, or should we start with these exercises now? Does exercise put her in danger? She enjoys weight training so much I hate to see her in pain and miserable, not being able to train. Thank you.

Could I do pushups with this condition?

That is Great!

Does the bridge exercise stretch the hip flexors as well? It appears to in your demonstration.

This was very helpful - thank you.

Should people with spondylolisthesis stay away from strength training movements such deadlifts and squats? Are hyperextensions and reverse hyperextensions ok?

Hey Dr.Tom, guess what! I finally got my tax refund today so I ordered your book!!! I told you I would! Looking forward to reading it!😊❤

Random question...what is the bone called on the outside of the foot about halfway down? Mine has hurt for several days. I dont know why. Maybe from jumping? Is there anything I can do? Thanks! I still do my exercises btw. 😊❤
