5 Exercises for Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Today’s video covers exercises for lumbar spondylolisthesis, which describes a condition where a lumbar (lower back) vertebral body slides out of its normal alignment. This movement can either be posterior in direction (retrolisthesis) or anterior (anterolisthesis). These types of injuries are preceded by a fracture to the pars interarticularis (spondylolysis) and can result in low back pain.
In some cases, surgical correction is required if an individual begins demonstrating motor loss or has severe, unrelenting pain. However, many times, spondylolisthesis can be treated conservatively with exercise. Exercise interventions that appear to work best include those that target the muscles of the lumbar spine as well as stretching exercises of the hamstrings and hip flexors.

Spondylolisthesis describes a condition where a vertebral body slides out of its normal alignment. This movement can either be posterior in direction (retrolisthesis) or anterior (anterolisthesis), as shown in this image. These types of injuries are preceded by a fracture to the pars interarticularis (spondylolysis) and can result in low back pain.
In some cases, surgical correction is required if an individual begins demonstrating motor loss or has severe, unrelenting pain. However, many times, this diagnosis can be treated conservatively with exercise.

Very good🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 🤗
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!😊❤
Thank you so much for ordering a copy! I really think you will find the book to be a helpful resource. The programs are much more comprehensive than my UA-cam videos. Please let me know what you think of it when it arrives!
😊 tq Sir
Welcome 😊
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. 😊❤
It could be your cuboid bone or the base of the 5th metatarsal. I would recommend trying the exercises in peroneal muscle rehab video below.

I had that problem point your toes and stretch the top of your foot like that.
Should people with spondylolisthesis stay away from strength training movements such deadlifts and squats? Are hyperextensions and reverse hyperextensions ok?
It depends on how your symptoms respond to those movements. In most cases, you want to avoid loaded spinal extension, so hypertensions and reverse hypertensions may not be a good idea, but you should test them to see if they increase back pain or cause radiating nerve pain in the leg(s) to increase. If your symptoms don’t change, then they are likely okay to perform. Squats and deadlifts are usually less of an issue as they place the spine in flexion. However, you would still need to test them and see how your body responds.
@@RehabScience Thanks. Hyperextensions feel fine, but I’m a little leery of potentially loading and compressing the spine with even the slightest tilt. Baby steps. Great videos! Thanks again.
@@CGib-ls7gb that’s a good point for sure with heavy vertical loads. Best to take baby steps with adding load.
