Lower Back Spinal Fusion and Exercise

 

Webinar Description:

In many situations, a lower back condition can lead to lower back spinal fusion surgery.  It is estimated 126,000 spinal fusion surgeries occur a year in the USA and since 1996 the number of surgeries has increased 116%.  The group that has had the greatest increase in lower back spinal fusion are adults over 60.  Lumbar compression fractures, spinal deformities, spondylolisthesis, lumbar instability, disc herniation and degenerative disc disease are common conditions that can lead to lower back spinal fusion.  A key component in the recovery from lower back spinal fusion surgery is exercise.  The role of exercise after spinal fusion is important in speeding up recovery, strengthening the muscles supporting the lower back and improving the endurance of core stability muscles.  The focus of the spinal fusion and exercise webinar will be the exercise program design and exercises for a client that has had a lower back spinal fusion.

Bootcamps are on the rise.

Bootcamp injuries are also on the rise.

If you are a bootcamp instructor, make sure the injuries your bootcampers encounter are on the decline.

I got this e-mail from an Exercises for Injuries blog reader:

Just started teaching bootcamps.   I have encountered people who have issues with their backs (mostly L4-L5).  Some have had surgery to relieve pain and another has had it fused.

Rick, do you have an suggestions on exercises my bootcampers with low back injuries should definitely stay away from?

Rick , thanks for any help.

I was in a meeting and we started talking about one of my recent exercise & injury manuals, Effective Exercises for Scoliosis.

The person I was meeting with let me know about his daughter who was in a scoliosis brace from the age of 3 to 16.  He asked me for some advice on what she should be doing when it comes to scoliosis exercises.

Of all the things she can do -  the number one thing  -  is exercise.
