DDD/Stenosis/Arthritis/Spondylolisthesis

Hold onto resistance bands

How it works: Once the muscle has calmed down, flexing the spine forward will gently stretch the strained muscle and improve overall function.

REPS: 2-4 for 15-30 seconds every 1-5 hours

Typical Symptom Response:

Positive: Relaxation of muscles, possible increase pull or pressure in the center of the spine. If any pain is perceived in the leg, the pain will move up the leg and towards the low back
Negative: Area of pain becomes larger in diameter or moves into the buttocks or leg
