Stop doing these harmful movements (temporarily). It's STEP 1 for improving your condition. STEP 2 is to start doing the right things, which is the focus of next week's video. STEP 3 is to gradually reintroduce performing these movements in a more healthy way, which is what we do in the CBT program.

Thank you for bringing awareness! I had a career destroying spondy event in 2004 (breakdancing) between L12-L1.. I always look fit, so people did not believe I was injured.. at the time could not find any info on it. internet/youtube didn't help.. doctor just said. take a rest. after six month went to a chiropractor ( that did help though should have been in combo with core stability exercises). Most frustrating thing is people think all is good with you and your just overreacting.. If ever you know where I can get a adamtium wolverine spine. please tell. Thank you

I took up judo 15 years ago. I was petrified given my lower back issues. Today, at 50, I'm fitter and stronger than ever. I'm not pain free. But equally I'm not ruled by pain or the fear of pain. My advice? Just get after it!

Great video! Excited for the relief techniques video coming soon!

Thank you. Seriously informative, to the point. What a relief to get this information.

This makes all the sense in the world! Thank you!

I was one who had the surgery and I very humbly say-it worked. I have no pain. However- I use to jog-and circuit train to keep in shape. It’s been 6 years since surgery and due to wrong food choices and very little “hard/workouts” exercises -I have gained weight. I’m looking to restrengthen again. I use to enjoy circuit training. Now I’m kinda scared I’m going to “do the wrong move-and mess myself up!” I use to be in pain always at at least a 4, then shoot to 10 at least once a month-maintaining at 6. It would take 3-4 days to get down to a 6 from a 10. Once since then, while leaning forward to brush my dog, the next vertebra up slipped. It took 3 days to get back to “normal”. I was using a walker. All the videos you say “not” to do…HURT when I look at them!!! Some times “well meaning folk”-tell me to “push through”-I have a few curse words I don’t normally use that want to come out of me. This confirms and validates my own experiences, and people who “think” they are helping-could really be incapacitating people to their detriment.

Bless you for this video ❤ I'm 48 and in good shape and eat well. Within 1 1/2 years following my total hysto with oomph I have been diagnosed with following: spondy, stenosis, scoliosis, 2 bulging discs, Sjogren's, thyroid disease, FAI/labrum tear from hip impingement, osteoporosis and knee problems from hips (tibia slides inward). I take all the hormones needed to function normally, immune suppressants, 2 eye meds, and necessary supplements. Begrudgingly I'm going to get a cortizone injection in spine for stenosis. It should also help determine what pain is coming from back and hip. I dread having another surgery but might need to get arthroscopic for right hip. Anyways, my point is you never ever know from the outside what someone is going through. I was one of those tough love people that seem to sympathize from the outside but inside I was telling them to buck up. I can't tell you how much empathy and humility that I have acquired. Now I am on the other side wishing people would support me more. Oh, well! 🥴

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for creating this video. I am still grappling with understanding how to manage the situation. My 9-year-old son slipped on a tile floor, and four days later, following an X-ray, both an Adult Spine Surgeon and a Pediatric Spine Surgeon informed me that he has a Pars defect and Spondylolisthesis. The Adult Spine Surgeon believes surgery may be necessary sooner or later. On the other hand, the Pediatric Spine Surgeon has prescribed physical therapy along with 400 MG Tylenol and Aleve. His physical therapy is being conducted by a PT/MPT, so I am uncertain whether transitioning to PT/DPT/OCS would offer additional benefits. It has been 7 PT visits, and there has been no improvement. He has not been able to do core exercises such as the Forearm Plank. I would like to learn what exercises he can do to strengthen his core. He has a tight left hamstring, which he has been working on.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your son's situation with us; it's very helpful. I believe the program can be beneficial for your son. The gentle exercises are designed to raise awareness and activate deep core muscles. This foundational work can pave the way for more advanced core-strengthening exercises, like the forearm plank, which require heightened muscle engagement. It could be the perfect progression for him. If you're interested, we offer a free 7-day trial of our program that you can check out to see if it might be a good fit for your son. Please let us know, and we'd be happy to assist.

I can see in your video how that was the one thing that should never have been done. Oddly the same thing happens, only less severe, if I use an inversion table or hang by my arms, and relax my midsection. After a step or two away from the table I can feel the vertebra/disc move back to where it was before the stretch. A very small move but the pain can still be there for days or weeks.

Thank you for your question, Joesph! If the underlying causes that lead to spondylolisthesis are not addressed, it has the potential to worsen over time. While it's not always possible to reverse the condition entirely, you can address and reverse the root causes that led to spondylolisthesis in the first place. By doing so, you can take steps to manage it and potentially slow its progression, which can promote healing. Our program does just that - it addresses the root cause of spondylolisthesis. Dr. Ryan actually has spondylolisthesis grade 1-2, and designed this program to address this issue specifically. Dr. Ryan was able to bring his body into alignment as he developed the program. He used the same movements that are now taught in the program to reduce the pressure on his spine. As the space between the vertebrae was gently increased, Dr. Ryan experienced a life-changing reduction in pain. When you bring the body into alignment, the body can heal. 😊

As an avid yogi just diagnosed with L4/L5 spondy this is very difficult to accept. I know what I need to do for my body tho. Thank you for the informative video and suggestions. Time for a lifestyle change😎

Hi Terra, thank you so much for sharing your situation, and I can imagine how difficult it might be to accept the diagnosis. It takes a lot of strength to acknowledge the need for a lifestyle change. 💙 I want to reassure you that the movements Dr. Ryan mentioned in the video are meant to be avoided temporarily as you focus on improving your condition. Dr. Ryan believes that yoga can be very beneficial, especially when you learn how to properly support the spine - and that's precisely what we teach in the CBT program. Towards the end of the program, we guide you to incorporate standing poses like warrior and more. The final exercise lesson focuses on integrating core anchors into a yoga pose. However, we introduce these gradually, at the end of the course, and only after you've learned how to move in a healthy, core-centered way. There is hope for you to get back to doing yoga! 😊

I have grade 2 spondy that was fused when I was 13 (L4-L5-S1). Do these guidelines still apply if you have a fusion to stabilize it?

@CoreBalance

7 ай бұрын

Hi there, that's a great question! Since everyone is different, Dr. Ryan recommends listening to your body and deciding based on the communication it sends. Feelings of relief indicate that the body can do these things, and feelings of pain or discomfort indicate that the body does not like a particular movement. I would also mention that doing movements that involve repetitive flexion without proper core engagement can be very taxing, even in a healthy spine or one with a prior fusion. We always recommend learning how to perform these movements in a healthy, core-centered way to protect the spine from a potential reoccurrence. I hope this information is helpful!

What you think about inverse table to who has Spondylolisthesis grade 2?

@CoreBalance

5 ай бұрын

Hi Stoic, thank you for your comment! Inversion tables are not a clear or obvious solution if your body is out of balance. If you have really tight hip flexors, a common anatomical adaptation that many individuals with back issues such as spondylolisthesis exhibit, they may be pulling on the spine. When you hang from your ankles or your feet, it may put a lot of force on your spine, potentially causing it to become more misaligned. What can happen in many cases is an increase in the hyperlordotic curve, which may further irritate the spondylolisthesis as well.

I'm at a grade 2, L5-S .

What to do if you have spondy and osteopenia at the same time at 30 yrs of age?

@CoreBalance

Жыл бұрын

Since you have spondy, you'll still want to avoid these exacerbating movements for a period of time. In addition, because of the osteopenia, you'll want to strengthen your bones (or stop the progression of weakening) by very gradually exposing your bones to increasing levels of weight-bearing. It's the only way to get bones stronger. You'll have to be very cautious about over-stressing the bones and causing a fracture, so you'll have to start very light and gradually increase weight over a long period of time.

I have a severe degenerative disc and also have Spondy. I have been doing lots of back exercises (approved by my Physical Therapist) such as back extensions, Romanian Dead Lifts with lightweight, Kettlebell squats, a Back extension machine at the gym, Dumbell Deadlifts (lightweight), and squats. He told me not to do any flexion exercises like the ab machine. I started working out at the gym in July, and I do have days where it feels better, but most of it feels worse. I have been debating on having the surgery because the pain is so bad. I wake up and am fine and a few minutes later after standing up my back gets so stiff that I can't bend over. I notice when I go in the mornings to the gym and do something like the elliptical, it feels a lot better and loose until I start lifting. I have 5 days of splits, Chest/Shoulders, Legs, Back, cardio, then bicep/tricep. So should I quit all the back exercises for now?

Hi there, thank you so much for your comment! It sounds like you've been dedicated to your exercises, but considering the increasing discomfort and the potential surgery, taking a temporary break might be a good approach. Sometimes our bodies need a break to recover, and that's okay. Dr. Ryan often speaks about the importance of listening to your body's signals. If the elliptical is providing relief and keeping you feeling better, it could be a good idea to focus more on activities like that for now. It's important to find what works best for your body and helps manage your pain. I hope this information is helpful!

I have Spondy. It is congenital. My uncle said it is the "Old (family name) Back" , I was in wrestling in my freshman year of HS. That's when I was diagnosed with it. I saw the illustration of the guy on the floor hands and arms extended up, and legs and feet also extended off the floor. That was one position we had to work on in wrestling, but we also had to rock on our belly for several reps and I remember that being the hardest exercise we did. Eventually I had to drop out when I was diagnosed. I had severe back pain and ended up in bed for 3 weeks so I could heal. I have had little trouble with it for years afterward and always worked labor jobs but now my back has become a problem and is very weak. I am 73 in February.

Myofascial release is harmful for spondiolythesis?

@CoreBalance

5 ай бұрын

Hi there, thank you for your comment! In many cases, gentle myofascial release techniques, such as foam rolling (featured in the program), can be appropriate for individuals with spondylolisthesis. This technique can help improve mobility and reduce muscle tension without causing undue strain on the spine. The severity and location of the spondylolisthesis, as well as any associated symptoms or complications, can vary among individuals. Therefore, it's essential to tailor myofascial release techniques to each person's specific needs, encouraging listening to your body and not pushing through any pain you may feel.
