Exercises for spinal disc problems

We treat patients with bulging discs = protrusion exclusively in the abdominal and sternal position.

Exercises are individualised and adapted to each patient. Please let us show you your exercises, record them on video and do them regularly throughout the day for a total of 20 minutes. This will enable you to see your own progress and correct mistakes in the exercises more easily.

As a general rule, you should not do any exercises that lead to flexion/flexion of the spine. 

Stretching/extension is often painful at the beginning and must be individually adjusted by the therapist.  Pain must be avoided so that the inflammation of the tissue can be reduced.

Running/walking and lying down is better than sitting and standing!!!!

TECAR therapy, electrotherapy, taping, osteopathy and physiotherapy all help. 

Which exercises do we prefer in an adapted form?

Prone position combined with deep abdominal breathing
Four-footed stance and correspondingly adapted exercises
Planks 
Mobilising exercises for the hip joints and thoracic spine
Stretches of the posterior leg chain or anterior cervical fascia
Diaphragm/diaphragm dynamising exercises
Strengthening the back muscles
Stretching the psoas / hip flexors / piriformis
Bending over with a straight back
 

Which exercises do we not recommend?

sit ups
Stretches with bent torso ( sun salutation )
rowing
leg press

Please always observe the pain threshold for your exercises. Apart from the stretches, no exercise should cause pain.
