Grade 3 Spondy here. You are without a doubt the best PT channel on YT for people who still want to lift and maintain a healthy lifestyle while being injured. I have learned so much more from you than the 3 PTs I’ve worked with personally.
Dr. Mike, great Info for people who suffer from THIS!! I have it at L5-S1 as well as Stenosis at various L2- L5 discs. Facet Joint Syndrome (arthritis ) and all this Lumbar "stuff" has affected my Cervical and Thoracic spine. I also have Dextroscoliosis at 25 degrees , all a result of a 1 Inch Shorter right leg. I'm 69 YO, suffered a Fractured right femur in 1966 (15 years old from HS Football). That Trauma has Created all this Havoc with my spine / hips. Your vids and others are helping me to understand the Physical Nature of the Spine - THE Most Importanat aspect of your Physicality .
That will depend on whether or not you know what your unique neutral spine position and range of motion is, and if you have trained and conditioned yourself to be able to hold this position during the exercises and loads that you want to use. Neutral spine is different for each person based on their core muscle imbalances/weaknesses, posture and movement tendencies that stress their injury, and other issues of body mechanics. Neutral spine means holding the problematic spinal segment in a safe position and within a safe range of motion considering multiple planes or directions of movement, and during different amounts of stress, time of stress, and challenges of instability. The best way to know this is through a detailed analysis of your body mechanics and core muscle function as they relate to your injury or pain. I have found that many doctors, therapists and trainers only know or share a limited amount of this knowledge to their patients and clients, and thus many are left with weaknesses that are prone to further injury. If you have a good, advanced rehab specialist near you, then that would be your best option. If not, I have designed several self-rehab programs (available at www.painfreeandfit.com) that walk you through your analysis and how to design your own self- rehab program for neutral spine, and how to return to your sport/life activities more safely. Many of these programs are condition specific. Another option is to consult with myself through Zoom, where I can do the analysis for you and design your rehab exercises (info also at same website). I hope this gives you a solid direction for taking a safe and effective way back to healing and fitness.
If leg raise aggravate spondylolisthesis, do static L-sit holds and their practice as a form of exercise also cause problems and further worsening of the condition?
It all depends if hip flexor strength or endurance is indicated based on an analysis of the body mechanics as they relate to the pain issues. Most lumbar spondylolisthesis cases require hip flexor stretching (not strengthening)
Hi Freddy. DDD training modifications are typically different from spondylolisthesis as most will want to avoid flexion as opposed to extension on the lower spine. This will vary as per the individual, their body mechanics analysis, and their specific neutral spine and RPI requirements for spine stability. Check out the DDD exercise videos on the channel or the DDD programs at painfreeandfit.com to learn more
I’ve experienced exercise helping the pain and sciatic from my spondylolisthesis but I am having trouble understanding how it is doing that. I know the exercises are not pushing the slipped vertebrae back in and off the nerve so how is it helping?
Hi Cindy. Depending on the type of exercises you are doing, there are basically 2 main reasons. First, pain relief exercises mobilize which stimulates sensory nerves that override the pain experience at the CNS level, increased local circulation promotes healing by removing toxins and providing the building blocks of new tissue as long as the mobilization is gentle enough not to irritate the involved soft tissue. The other reason is the bigger one- progressively strengthening the RPI and neutral spine holding ability to withstand stress without aggravation by sparing the mechanical insults causing the injury. There are other physio reasons as well, but these 2 are the most easy to understand for the lay person. Great ?...Thanks.
Thank you for explaining! Running has been my go to exercise since my 20’s, amd brings me joy both physically and mentally. It has been very difficult to give it up, and I am actually not sure if I have to. I have run a few times anyways. Is it ok to run? I’m a 3 mike every other day runner.
